RE: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] Enter Alice Hilter

<Snip> A red haired woman walked onto the command deck hugging a clipboard to her chest"Madam Hussain?" Hussain turned around"Alice? Alice Hilter? TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH" she yelled"I know, i'm sorry. There was traffic at the shuttle docks" Hussain grumbled and walked across the drive room, Alice followed exactly a pace behind."Well, at least there is one competant person abord now" The drive room had fallen quiet when the red head walked in and all heads were faceing Hilter and Hussain. The console behind Tara bleeped again"game over.... game over" the sound echoed in the quiet drive room"Uh Oh" said Tara<End Snip>
 
She panicked and searched around for a microphone.
"Um... Engineering, is there any way we can get more speed? We're currently travelling at two thirds the speed of a snail on pot..."
The main screen flickered into use, Zodar taking the stand on camera.
"Well, we could transfer power from somewhere to the engines. That won't take long to do."
Tara nodded, "Good, um, yeah, do that then."
"Right, transferring power now." Said Zodar, working at the panel in front of him. There were a few satisfying *bleeps*, then the sound from the engines rose in pitch.
"We should now be travelling about 35% faster than our normal speed." Reported Zodar with a grin on his face.
"Thankyou Z..." Tara said before being interrupted by Hussain.
"You certainly do sound like you have done this job before, Mr. Zodar."
"Yes Captain, you could say that."
"And you haven't reported in to receive your new position on this ship now, have you?"
"Well, no." Chris said edging off camera.
"Full name and rank, please.""Excuse me?"
"You heard me. Full name and rank."
"Crewman Christopher John Zodar"
Hussain muttered the name to herself as she checked her clipboard.
"Crewman Christopher John Zodar... I have here that you are to be transferred to..."
Zodar held his breath...
"Accounting. You have shown yourself to be an... adaptable... man and I feel this position will aid the ship in the long run"
Zodar let out a huge sigh of relief, "Well at least it's not totally devoid of technology. I mean, I'll be using computers to do the calculations won't I."
"No, I actually want you to perform your tasks with pen and paper."
"WHAT?!" Zodar screamed.
"Dolly will tell you all that you need to know about resources and your new office. That is all."
 
"BITCH!" Zodar screamed to himself, walking out of the room.
 
"Mr Zodar, did you forget to close your video link?"
Zodar slinked back and started wringing his hands in nervousness.
"I was saying, WHICH... office will I have?"
"As I said before... Dolly will provide you with all the information you need to know."
"Right." Zodar said before quickly closing the video link and proceeding to have a panic attack in a nearby broom closet.
 
"Wait a minute..."
 
"Wasn't there a meeting about getting the Captain back for all of this?"
 
The reason Zodar hadn't originally attended the meeting was because he wanted to be sure that the new captain was that bad. Now he had haunting visions of "Double Entry Bookkeeping" and "Bank Reconciliation Statements" invading his head.
 
She had to be stopped...
 
<OOC: Hope I haven't missed all of the meeting... I'm on my way.>
