: : : : : : "Shannon, I think we are kindred spirits, you and I." Adam replied as he finished reading her file. "I may have not lost a rank like you have, but how many head counselors do you know of that still have the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade. Not many, let me assure you. My mouth prevents me from rising in the ranks. Does this upset me? No. Because why? Do you think I joined Star Fleet for these elegant pips? So i can show them off? No. I joined Star Fleet to do what I like to do best. Talk to people and perhaps help they over come stuff. Now, as to your mouth, I learned to say a lot of things in my head instead of letting it slip out. It's hard to master but when you do, it's a lot of fun because you know what you meant in comparison to what you said and when the idiot is smiling back at you thinking you meant what you said....wow, there is no greater feeling."

I once told Captain Watt that he was getting gray and might want to think about coloring his hair but to go gray waas much better than bald because not all women find bald men sexy"

Yes, you should start by practicing on a holodeck program, the skill of thinking what you really mean and saying something completely different. You can use my program if you wish, CornishDelta25. It will really work wonders. Of course, I don't always remember to practice what I preach."

: : "Was your sister always put in charge of your behaviour before?" Adam answered intrigued at this Captain Watt's decision to send in a sister as reinforcement. He smirked to himself as he thought of the idea of his father trying to force one of adam's siblings onto him as a mouth control. Poor Simple Josh and selfish Erica would have been torn to bits verbally in seconds.

: "Oh no I didn't mean it that way I know Megan had come to help Mary as they were best friends and Megan had just left the USS Olympic as captain. Me being here and being able to see her and us work out of family history was a good thing." Shannon said with a smile. She was glad that she and Megan were close again.

"Ah...in that case I am jealous by the bond the two of you share." Adam replied with a smile. "And if she helps you work better by keeping you happy, how can I justify being against that? Is there anything else you wish to share with me before I close your file and steal and afternoon nap?"
