"People, this is Marty Martinez, our new life-science specialist. She's a PJ so be nice to her 'cause if something frags your arse out in the big wide, she's gonna be the one to patch you up." "Hi," Martinez said with a small smile. "Marty, on my left here is Marine Lieutenant Kurt Graven, who runs our point defense guns. Across the table is our other leatherneck, our TACO - tactical officer - Marine Captain Colin Winters.' "Pleasure," Colin said. "Don't be confused if she calls me Major underway, this is a Navy ship and she's the only Captain on this vessel. Please call me Colin." "The study in contrasts in the back of the room are our engineer, Navy Lieutenant Kai Wihongi and our pilot, Navy Lieutenant Li Fang, and that's the crew. Team. you've seen the briefing I sent over, questions?" "No skipper," Li replied. "OK, Marty, stow your gear and get on up to the flight deck. We break dock in 30 so look alive."
