– 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!
