It did occur to him that perhaps he’d gone to the wrong Academy — the guys in the Space Fleet always had more interesting stories to tell at the spaceport bars. You know, tales about the dude who got vaporized in a plasma accident in the engineering section, or the fella who got turned into a blob of weird space jelly by some alien virus — or the time someone flew a starship into an astor-field at warp four by mistake (they were still trying to find the black box on that one).

Took a load of Florpavian Flame-birds to a zoo on Deanna, took a load of machinery to Salus. Picked up and dropped off a few passengers on the way. Still, Florpavian Flame-birds were a risky cargo… and damned tricky to transport — which is probably the only reason he’d had any entertainment at all on the last trip. Christina Engela
