Galaxy 46

Fredricks: (Intercom) "Peace is something that doesn't just happen. It has to be sought out. It has to be battled for and won. The enemies of the Federation are many due to the corruption of our predecessors. We must show them that we have evolved. We must show them that we will not be trampled over. But most of all, we must show them compassion."

 

Sanders: "Are you telling me the team sharpshooter can't nail a little ball with a club?"

 

Rico: "Is it like baseball?"

 

Sanders: "No, you... Just put the damn ball on the deck and swing. It's all in the hips."

 

Rico: "Whatever."

 

Sanders: "Hey, just be glad this ship even has a rec room. Remember the old drop ships chugging out of Mars Base? Half the cryo pods didn't have proper sleep monitors. I knew a guy who went from Mars to Jupiter on ice wide awake."

 

Rico: "Serious?"

 

Sanders: "Guy went out of his mind. When they unfroze him he thought everything was really a dream. Started seeing visions and became violent. In the end Sarge wound up putting a hole in his skull. Poor bastard."

 

Rico: "Yah, things have come a long way."

 

Sanders: "Amen to that brothah. So put the ball down and I'll show you how this game works."
