ChiefEngineer : Punch HeadOfPersonnel in her stupid polygonal face.
Unthinkably tempting. Muscles scream for it. The heart shouts for it. But the only thing it would do is give ChiefMedicalOfficer more work, and you make a policy of not doing things that are pointless.
You'll do it later. If Chaplain doesn't impale her first.
ChiefMedicalOfficer: Get me some space, right now.
ChiefEngineer: ChiefMedicalOfficer! You're here! We've got two wounded, can you--
ChiefMedicalOfficer: Is Captain still breathing?
ResearchDirector: Barely!
ChiefMedicalOfficer: HeadOfSecurity?
HeadOfPersonnel: No longer breathing.
Your blood boils.
ChiefMedicalOfficer: Shit.
