Opening remarks[]
Once again, the Captain and crew of H.M.S. Troutbridge are completely in the muck. In Captain Povey's outer office they eagerly await the call to his inner sanctum. Fearless, firm, determined, clear-eyed, resolute they stand, wondering which one will nip out the back way when the others aren't watching. My bet is that it'll be Lieutenant-Commander Stanton. How the others ever got him as far as the outer office is a mystery.
