Trailrider #896 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 "Planetary Defense, Guardian Aimless speaking, Sir!" "Guardian, this is the Deep Space Observation site! We have indications that the Romulans are about to land at Site Bravo-Two-Six. I've tried calling the President, but he's on vacation. The Veep is unavailable! I tried calling the Secretary of Defense, but he's in the ICU. Who's your duty officer?" "Uh, that'd be 2LT Jones. Just a minute an' I'll get him." (Pause) "Second Lieutenant Jones, here. You told Aimless the Romulans are about to land at Site Bravo-Two-Six? I'm not sure where that is...Wait, I'll check my map!" (Deep breath on the other end of the line.) "Say, lieutenant, who's minding the store?" "Store? What store?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
