?What in the world happened to you?! Your engine looks like sliced butter strips?
?Flown off of course, was taken out by MWU?s energy blades to thrust vectoring rings? The message finished scrolling down the screen. Tee looked surprised that the ship did not show any reaction considering that the ship was top of the line in new line of combat training fighters.
?Hey what is the punishment for something as bad as this??
?the most appropriate punishment is suspension for a week, retraining in following direct orders, cleaning the sleeping quarters, servicing all of the fighters along with Cale and mess hall duty for a two week period? The type finished.
?Wow, this one knows its regulations? Tee thought ?maybe I can tell it to just give me the possible repair information, I ought to consult Cale, hey Cale do you know what this poor soul is trying to point at??
?Not really it looks like we will have to check with Commander Jack?
?Jackson!? the computer corrected in a loud voice
?Jackson, right, well, we are going to have to check with the Commander on who was assigned to this fine piece of equipment. Hey, Tee, input this in to the computer tell it that Commander Jackson?s alternative name is Jack.?
?Just did Cale, oh, wait, it?s saying something, I?ll put it on speaker?
?Standard protocol addressing will still remain when personally addressing Commander Jackson. Pilot interfacing will use the commander?s alternative names or nicknames of commander jack, commander jackass, commander, commander j, flight leader, or home leader.? The computer stated,
?Turn that damn thing?s volume down!! It?s going to get us in trouble!? he shouted, waving his hand in the air at him
?Wow, it seems that this one has had many different names for the Commander, I wonder if the where in-putted into its memory by the same pilot.? The computer stated immediately, assuming his comment was a question
?All data entries where in-putted by the same person and has no permission to use them orally outside the cockpit and on communication frequencies?
?Well it looks like we are going to have to report to the Commander about this one, but before we do, we need to do some extra work on this one before we check it out for flight clearance.? he said
?Hey, Cale what are we doing then?? Asked Tee
?We are going to have some fun with the pilot of this plane and teach him respect and appreciation of the Commander?s work and mine?
?What do you mean??
?I am going to place a remote programming box on the plane and I am going to have some fun with our renegade pilot?
?Are you going to ask the Commander??
?Of course, you know me I don?t do anything with out true official approval. Ask the computer if it agrees to this?
The computer responded to the question in its quick fashion?
"I agree with you only on the term that the commander approves of this?
?Well, sure! I?ll make an appointment for tonight. It was nice talking to you, and I hope that you can figure out some tricks of your own for our pilot then?
?Agreed?
?Well then I?ll talk to the Commander tonight and discuss this with him and ask for permission to use the remote box on you.?
?I don?t mind, I just hope the Commander doesn?t mind the alterations?
?Don?t worry, every thing will be fine, trust me I know the Commander, I don?t think he won?t be able not to let us do this little experiment with our pilot? Cale walked away with Tee in his vehicle hover mode and they headed back down the long corridor to his room to freshen up before his appointment with Commander. Cale reached his room and pouched in his security code. The door parted silently thanks to the frictionless guiders he installed. He walked in to his quarters and looked at his stereo. He liked the old thing one of the latest during its prime and of course the only kind that could still pump a room full of noise. An old BOSE, still running on a Tri-Prong plug when all of the other units available where now running on solar and rechargeable power pack. He grabbed the Bank Card size remote and selected his favorite CD and let it play itself out. He finished with his music and he headed off to the Commanders office. Tee stayed in the room to catch his real-time program feed from The U.E.A.?s Interplanetary Public Broadcasting System Information and Entertainment Network or The U.E.A.?s IPBSIEN. The IPB System was the company that provided the power and technology for the broadcasts, but the IEN had all of the smaller independent companies under the one name. They where all services provided by IPBS but IPBS had no influence over them, IEN was the name the smaller stations ran under. The smaller stations run under the IEN in which in turn The IEN siphons all of its programming to the IPB System for it to broadcast, each planet having a receiving station, transmission station, and its own Public Broadcasting Station for its own affairs on a planetary bases also being another channel on the IPB System making the IPBSIEN a large provider of the Publics Knowledge of current affairs and the latest entertainment to date .
