Not as much as you'd like. In my time up here we've only stopped at two stations, and the only other outside contact we had after that was the pirate fiasco.

Now there's a shame. Certain we could lurch uncertainly through space at near twice our current rate with a touch of ingenuity. Aye. Suppose I'll have to weigh the risks and benefits of taking up praying to the buachailleen runnin' the lockers.

I'll cross my fingers for you. I can't say I've had much luck with them, I think the most interesting thing I ever got from them was a model of the Enterprise.

Hardly any shame in that, captain. She's a fine ship to keep on display.

You can say that again.

Perhaps the next time you procure me a drink or two. Or bottle, I shan't fuss over the details.

We'd each have to take a break in order to do that.

Perhaps in captaining. Down below, we consider it more a pick me up.

[well when you put it that way]

Maybe it's time I picked up a few shifts down there again.

A pleasure to have you, captain. With, ah, proper supervision, of course.

[His engines, Jim. You don't even know.]

Scotty, come on. I've been in and out of that engine room for eighteen months, you don't really think I'm going to break anything, do you?

[....unsure]

Not with malicious intent, I'm certain, sir.

Are— are you calling me incompetent?

Oh, certainly not, sir. Just hadn't known you to have a interest.
