A Method To My Madness

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 69588

After seeing that there was no clear explanation for Josh's latest mad stunt (there rarely ever is) Scott wanders back into the library. He intended to go back to the Josh section but instead found Lots42 perched on a ladder, reciting bad poetry.
"It was about twelve or thirteen years ago
In a quadrant just right next to ours
Captain James (or was it Slim) or Mary, Bob or Sue...
A female Captain of some reknown
Had come down to her very last hours.


She wasn't dying or dead or transformed or the Borg
Or any of the horrible things that could happen to her
She'd simply been promoted one step up
An admirable honor, don't get me wrong
But she'll miss her grand ship, it'll miss her to be sure


The USS Yorktown or was it the Endeavor?
Or the Indpendent that spent five months in the sea...
The point of the story,
Yes I'm getting to it ...
She was now a member of the Admirality


There were ships to supervise and plants to mind And a thousand colonies that were expanding slowly

But just like her ship, now left in good hands
There were other good hands to take the good reigns
But it was now her job, her and the admirality


But then there was a note, left in the bar ...
It said 'Don't punish my assistants, it's my responsibility'
And the fresh ex-captain was nowhere to be found
Her ship was searched well and she wasn't quite there
And a transmission was recieved that clarified her safety


And oddly a enough, a few others quite vanished,
A regretful engineer, who ran a teaching position
And three indies who flew for whoever did pay them.
A doctor who spent little time treating injuries...
Yes I see you all have a quite creeping position


And though the publicity was poor for the Admirals in general
That one of their own vanished soon after promotion
In truth they approved of the secretive ship
It appears where it's needed and welcome by all
And the first face they see is pleased by her position..."
Scott shakes his head.

  1. He mutters "Whatever" and finds the Josh section again.
  2. Scott mutters random gibberish and starts tearing up offensive magazines (not Playboy, just poorly written stuff).
  3. Scott flees the library.
  4. Mitchell claps his hands.
  5. Scott meets Bruce.
  6. Part of the air conditioning system collapses, killing Scott.
  7. Scott sings a Christmas Carol.
