'Something to wear - Alpha' & 'Starbug stats - Beta'

ALPHA
<snip> Chrizla walked up to Jessie, pulled her in close and kissed her. "Now
how about that breakfast? What do you say to the most expensive item
on the menu at Les Royal Niples?" <end snip>
Jessie pushed him away suddenly, as though regretting it. "If we're
going out for breakfast, than I'd better do something about my
uniform. i can't go out looking like this." she said. "and
restaurants normally prefer you to be wearing shoes." She had an
idea. "all the rest've my stuff's down in my ship. How about I go
down and find something to wear? I can be back in about half an hour."

BETA
<snip> "Maybe?" Jessie asked. "Depends on if I've had enough sleep or
how mad i am
that day. All variables. By the way how mad do you think everyone down in
Piloting is gonna be when they find out that i crashed a Starbug into the
side of the ship?" Kara asked. <end snip>
Jessie considered it for a moment, then said, "Well, on the one hand,
they'd probably want to cancel your pilot's licence for that, but,
then again..." she paused a moment, trying to work out how to say it.
"it's a Starbug. I mean, you know the statistics.'Two out of every
five shuttle crashes will involve at least one Starbug'," she quoted.
"They'll probably be more annoyed about repairing the shutle bay than
trying to patch up the 'bug."
