Re: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] Efof- \"Command Material?\"

Skylar finally woke up finding himself in the promanade and blinked. Damn he
really was a smegging light-weight sometimes. He stood entering Parrot's Bar
happily looking foreward to getting drunk some more, but when he got inside
he saw the attractive bird he had met earlier punch a marine in the face.
Suddenly he remembered his security training and grabbed the girl away from
the marine.
"Now do I really have to arrest you?"
