If you hit him back you'll have to lock yourself up

Ow, you rotten git

Does that mean I hit you?

No it doesn't

But you are not my superior officer and I would in technical terms not be committing any crime.

So what's the problem?

You won't let me.

I won't let you what?

You won't let us have any fun. As an MP you are fully within your rights to lock us up for fighting. My question was can I hit you seeing as we share the same rank and I am a head of regiment (even though the main screen doesn't show it yet, Terran?)?

I guess you could hit me, if you really want to and I'm not a regiment head

No, I prefer not to be a suck up and copy superior officers

*Looks icily at Terran*

Besides, Terran reports to me elsewhere, I'll just hit him there instead.

In the Elsewhere *Faints*

Officer on the deck!

*Helps Reefgirl up*

Have you ever been hit in the elsewhere? you'll be walking with a limp for a month

No I haven't, but it sounds nasty enough not to want to be. I need the full use of my walking facilities for the next month.

Going on a route march?

I suppose it would

Terran on the other hand, being the boss as he is, doesn't need to do any walking. Giving him a good kicking in the 'elsewhere' wouldn't really matter.

I'd like to see you try
