Case #48: Video

[It's formal announcement time! George stands in his cabin with his helmet tucked under one arm. The brass buttons on his uniform are particularly shiny.]

It's my duty to inform you all that Detective Hoffman is no longer my inmate.

[George lets that hang vaguely in the air for a moment, before continuing:]

Because Detective Hoffman has graduated! Please do heartily congratulate him. He has earned it.

Large but under-crewed. Less than two hundred souls, and she a cruiser-killer.

[...]

Aren't ships called 'she' even in Earth parlance? It's not like Commander Rhade's universe. She's just a vessel--a very large one, quite dangerous, Cruiser-Killer class ships aren't a joke-- and her crew is fine when last I saw them.

Ah, no. She both cruises and kills. More the former than the latter the last few years-- diplomatic assignments, then a bit of... well, that's a longer story.

We're all Fleet doing the cruising. It's menacing cruising. Designed to remind other people that Fleet's about.

So we're used to it.

Basically. It'd been a while since we saw action. I missed the fun when the Captain used main cannon to express her dissatisfaction with Fleet investigative procedure. But only automated defense plats were harmed.

Part of that long story. Possibly I'll tell you sometime.
