If you can afford a private aircraft, you can afford to pay some fucking taxes.

That was what my mind supplied.

Honestly, at that point, I think you let him have it.

If this isn't a warcrime, it probably should be. Depriving civilians of water is in no way proportionate to the loss of a single aircraft with no fatalities.

Or maybe tax the rich? They have money. They just don't want to use it.

But he tries not to, so that's worth a few points.

Loved that line so much.

But it wasn't entirely true, was it?

You make some good points, but I don't want discipline out of her. She was a good captain, particularly for an environment that is supposed to produce Starfleet Officers.

She just needs some decorum.

My only issue with Academy was the presence of a captain who refused to act like an officer. Stand up straight, put on your boots, sit in the chair like a normal human.

Other than that, I loved it.

No, that's just me being stupid.

This sounds like the first chapter of 1986.
