Mariner: Almost got it...Steady...

She concentrate to steadily place a piece until Boimler barg in the room.

Boimler: It's here, it's here, it's here, it's here, it's here, it's here, it's here!

Mariner drop the piece and she lost the game.

Boimler: My issue of Fleet is out. I'm in the "30 Under 30" feature. Oh, man, I hope my photo's okay. Sometimes my nostrils look aggressively flared.

T'lyn: Starfleet publishes a periodical?

Mariner: Yeah, they interviewed Boimler after he captained the Cerritos, and now he's peeing his pants about it.

Boimler: ....I'm not in here. They cut me out.

Mariner: Look, I am sure you were the 31st under 30.

Mariner: There's 15 honorable mentions. One of them went to Naomi Wildman. She's like ten years old.

YN: isn't she too young to be in the starfleet?

YN arrives with his FS(Favorite smoothie.) as he overhears their conversation.

Boimler: Exactly! Let's face it. I plateaued.

Mariner: Oh, I feel you, Boims. I- (Sighs.) Ransom just assigned me a new batch of ensigns, which seems like a bad idea. I am not a helpful person.

YN: Neither you were helpful to Boimler back then. Yet here we are.

Mariner: Okay, you got me there.

T'lyn: I'm sure these ensigns will respect that you "tell it like it is."

Mariner: Aw, thanks, T'Lyn, but I'm still trying to not get thrown in the brig all the time. How am I supposed to be, like, a leader?
