This week with Arlene and Jeff:
...Back on the bridge, the First Officer gave the primary bridge crew the highlights of the meeting.
The Science Officer caught the First's eye, and at his nod, activated a program. "We can talk freely now, Sir."
The Second Officer spoke before the First had time to. "This could be a trap, Sir. I am going with you. You need someone to watch your back."
"No," the First said after a moment to think. "I certainly appreciate your offer, but I need you here - all of you."
The Science Officer finally had a chance to speak. "I have devised a way to override the main airlock controls to the flight deck as well as the other airlocks in the Paladin area. If you are killed, I will space the whole Paladin fleet."...
Have a goodun;
