**"Listen,
Lt. Slick... I'm not really that good at couching things,
so here's this...
When I leave the ship, weird as it is, you are the next
in line for command. Now as the Tactical Officer of this ship
I think that is a big mistake, considering your pansy
nature and all... so I'm suspending your command authority, effective
immediately, which leaves Lt. Trickowski in charge while
I'm away.
Now... when I get back I'm going to check the ship's logs and
if I see even a hint of disrespect for Trick, or any glumness
or sourpuss-type activity, I will fill your helmet with pain
the likes of which you have never known or dared to imagine.
Am I making myself clear,
lieutenant?"**
