LOOK OUT THE FRONT! ---- BIG BRIDGE!
The Bridge
Kes Posted Jan 4, 2003
Yes, I know the Bridge is quite large compared to some of the rooms on the ship, but there's no need to go on about it .... and the Look Out is up in the Pelican's Nest, which is where you are, while the Bridge is quite near the front, but not altogether out the front .... so ... was there something to report, or are you just making loud conversation?

*Looks through the forward view screens.* 
OMG!!!!!! There's a blummin' great big bridge dead ahead of us! Why didn't somebody tell me about it sooner? Decisive action needed!
Everybody run round in small circles and panic! No ... I remember ... remove all sharp objects from your pockets, make sure your seat back is upright and the tray table stowed, and assume the brace position ... No ... that's not it ...
De-farringate the farnacklers on both sides! Umbulate the swingletodes! Where's the handbrake? ......
Phew! It missed us! That was close!
Welcome to Hobart. Please remain seated until we are docked, and do not use the facilities while we are standing at the platform. We hope you enjoyed your journey, and hope to see you aboard the Blood for your next trip ....

Assuming we are at the docks I think I'll head south to the casino and see what night life is while hanging upside down from the planet. In case you need directions Kes, here's a map of Hobart.
