1)Zulilia: I'm just saying that I could do all of this much faster if I had access to my tools 

Gegis: You mean the transporters 

Zulilia: Yes, I could move everything from the storage depot to the exact room onboard with no need for any heavy lifting 

Gegis: So why don't you 

Zulilia: The targeting arrays are out of alignment. 

Gegis: I'm surprised that they half-assed those. That's dangerous. I've seen the files from the enterprise.  

Zulilia: Yes, very messy. But they aren't that bad

2)Gegis: Then what? 

Zulilia: There's a .5mm drift in the reintegration subsystem. 

Gegis: Really?

Zulilia: Yes. I can't pinpoint my target with my usual precision 

Gegis: Really?

 Zulilia: I need Roberta and her group or someone to fix them. Shouldn't take more than a day

Gegis: So, you’re saying all the offloading should stop for a day so they can fix them?

Zulilia: Yes, simple actually 

3)Gegis: Prophets, I need a drink 

Zulilia: Well, you’re in luck 

Gegis: How so 

Zulilia: Here come the two responsible for that

4)Gegis: Oh, and what do you two want?

Cassie: We came to see if our order had arrived 

Tessa: We've set up everything else

Gegis: It won't be in for several hours.  There are six other deliveries ahead of it. Then with everything already here, it'll be sometime tomorrow before they get around to delivering it

Cassie: Oh

Tessa: Pity

Gegis: I'm so glad you've set up. I have two more hours of this delivery/unloading to handle then I'm off duty and I will be coming by to drown my troubles 

Cassie: That will be difficult 

Tessa: Actually impossible 

Gegis: Why?

Cassie: Like we said, we are waiting for our supplies 

Tessa: The stuff you want to drink

5)Gegis: Wait, you don't have any alcohol?

Tessa: Not a drop

Zulilia: How is that...

Cassie: The bar was destroyed in the crash 

Tessa: All that lovely alcohol, gone 

Roberta: There's no alcohol on this ship?

Cassie: None

6)Gegis: Wokerbees Lambda 31 through 36 hold your position. I repeat hold your position.  Lambda 37, you have clearance to approach. You have priority to land.

Roberta: I will have them standing by for immediate unloading and delivery 

Gegis: Are you going to stand there and complain 

Zulilia: Certainly not. I plan to help with the unloading. The need for alcohol transcends all others 

Gegis: On that we agree 

Cassie: They certainly love their drink

Tessa: The power of alcohol compels them

7) Heath: So where did you get this module from?

Yardmaster: Another ship that was under construction

Heath: Half-assing that one as well?

Yardmaster: You don’t know what it was like here

Heath: I know about getting a defective ship

Yardmaster: Thanks to you we have double the workload as before

Heath: Not my problem. The lights in this lift need adjusting

Yardmaster: A minor problem. Well, we’re here

Heath: So, let’s see this thing.

8) Heath: Oh...

Yardmaster: Well

9) Heath: It's...big 

Yardmaster: It's an Odessey, everything about them is big

Heath: I literally have to shout for them to hear me

Yardmaster: Not my fault. 

Heath: We have to run to cover for each other.

 Yardmaster: Take it up with the design team.

Heath: Still, the Galaxy class had the same issue. Having to run around behind the captain’s seat to get to tactical. 

10) Yardmaster: Look I'm not interested in your bridge retrospective. You wanted a new bridge, you have one.

Heath: But does everything work?

Yardmaster: It works.

Heath: Oh, you can trust that we will test it.

Yardmaster: Believe me, the last thing I want is to come back to this cursed hell hole.

Heath: You still need to reconfigure the upper shuttle bay.

Yardmaster: Yes, and then we power up the warp core and we're done with you.

Heath: Unless you've half-assed something else 

Yardmaster: Like I said, we want you and this wreck gone.  We will celebrate went you leave. Heath: Now if you'll excuse me, I need to prepare for that joyous moment. 

11) Suzy: You have no idea how badly I wanted to grab and shake him.

Heath: Before we leave, you'll have your chance… Hey, my chair

Suzy: Why?

Heath: But it’s so soft and comfy
