Mode
Оглавление– Hans! What mode should we fly now in?
– In the second, sir!
– So why are we flying in the third then?
– Sorry, sir, I thought we might arrive a little earlier…
– You thought, didn’t you? And may I ask you why?
– Well, the guys from the Academy will be there, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, I thought, sir…
– You thought indeed! Why haven’t you thought that you have a commander? Why haven’t you thought that we’ll need to report fuel usage? Why haven’t you thought that the engine might overheat?
– Sir, but we’ve saved some fuel due to the solar wind.
– Solar wind my ass! We are in another galaxy! There is no Sun in this place whatsoever!
– Sorry, sir, we used the Kruger moment…
– Don’t pretend to be smart, Hans! And always remember you have a commander to make the decisions for you! Turn on the fourth mode! Signal to the base: an emergency, due to some solar wind, fart or shit, do I need to think about everything for you?
– Yes, sir!
