Episode 3 - Fish Gets a New Ride.

"Man, it sure feels good being back in the cockpit with my hand on the knob between my legs."

"Well, just don't screw this one up, Fish, that's all I gotta' say."

"Yeah, well, thanx, commander."

"You have no idea the strings I had to pull to get you this assignment."

"Well, it sure does feel good, UuuuHhhhMmmmm."

"Yeah, well I had to do a lot of dancing after that stunt you pulled down in the valley! I mean, JEEEEZ!"

"Well, I tried to tell that farmer that the boots go on the sheep, not him, but would he listen, NOOOooo! And now look who gets the heat for it? Me! That's who!"

"Yeah, well, that's all behind us now Fish, but that doesn't mean you can rest easy. I gotta' warn you, this is a crack unit and the discipline here is pretty rigorous."

"That's okay, commander. Long as I have stars around me, and can feel the stick between my legs, I can take whatever discipline you dish out."

"Good! Cuz' your first mission is to go blow up that runaway garbage scow that's been closing in on home-base for the last last two weeks."

"Oh, shit!"

"Yes, you're right!"

"But? You get that stuff on you it never comes off!"

"Precisely, which is why you drew the assignment. I didn't want my crack pilots to get the wrong impression that I was going to somehow give you defferential treatment."

"But, but!"

"Yes, I know. Doesn't make shit's bit-o-difference. I know you've been decorated twice for bravery but it doesn't cut it here. Besides, I think it might humanize you to the men. We don't want to create any icons here, now, do we?"

"Ay, ma'am."

"When you get back I want a full report - after you go through decontamination."

"Ay ma'am. Anything else, ma'am?"

"Why, yes. Yes there is. Take out the trash while your at it!"
