This is captain Gunsmith: Activity log. Recently i had 2 new engineers join the ships staff, they were transfered from Toronto station in Ontario system. They integrated among the crew just fine and they seem like good hard working lads. So i decided to take them on a little tour through Vespucci and after some time we reached the Silver ore mining field, i was about to explain to them how the proceedure goes. But there was already a ship captain by the name of Harper in the field, doing the work all alone.
So i figured, what better way to show the lads what were about, than a direct mining operation. They were thrilled since this wasnt planned. We greeted Captain Harper and after some talk i ordered the ship in to mining position.
As always, Harper was eager to work. Damn, if he continues this good work, ill have to punish him with an early promotion
We were in postition and the mining operation commenced.
Harper worked relentlessly, i really admire the man's dedication. The only problem was, he left the comm link open by acident while singing some stupid song, something about a bar full of naked women and a drunken sheriff and some other crap Needless to say that the crew was laughing so hard, and after some time i decided to end it. I opened the comm link to him and shouted:
" Haaaaaaaaarper!!! Your doing a great job man, but either shut the hell up or turn off your comm link man, my crew cant operate the ship while pissing their pants!! "
While all the time in side me i was thinking " God its so great to have such a relaxed and dedicated man". But i had to keap an uptight and official position. He said " Ay sir " and continued to work.
Then, to all of our surprise, Mr. MacRea showed up:
" I picked you up on long range scanner sir, and i cant believe you started without me??
I replied: " MacRea you old son of a gun, this was unplanned so we decided not to interfere your rest time, but since you stumbbled upon us can you help out. Im showing these new guys how things work around here. "
Mr.MacRea: " Sure thing sir, i'd be glad to assist, and is that Harper mining like crazy sir??
I also see his comm link is shut, is he singing that drunken sheriff song again?? Ah he always does it, hehehehehe. "
Gunsmith: " Well bloddy hell!! Jump in Mr. MacRea"
With that, he started mining and things moved really fast now. Both miners were doing their job with outmost efficiancy and precission.
The mining operation was going very fast and the 2 new engineers were amazed at our proffesionalism. We did a few trips to Elysium and back, finding MacRea and Harper working overtime every drop. I compensated them by transfering a nice wad of cash since they seriously deserved it. Afer 6 loads i decided it was enough since my crew was tired from the previous assignment. We said our goodbyes and left for Elysium
We set a course to Elysium and i ordered no thruster speed through the asteroids. We were some distance away from the field when i think i heard, something along the lines of: " The Sheriff often had a drink, la di da la di da...........
and he dressed himself in pink la da di di du da........"
"Not again. Haaaaaaaaaaaarper!!!!! ".......................
