Captain Sinclair

In Response To: Re: A very, very long time. (Firemist)


bzzt! We jumped to the Duvall system.

bzzt! Captain Sinclair was a very by-the-book captain for the most part. Once he set down a timetable for a project to be completed, it had to be done by that date. Of course, he gave us a month longer than UNSC expectations. He once said that only a fool thinks they'll get everything right on the first try, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't go for it anyway. He didn't mind "horseplay" so long as it didn't affect the timetables or violate any regulations. XO Williams wasn't so forgiving of so-called horseplay, however. They argued about it regularly. The crew believed that if they both agreed that something was uncalled for, you were in for it. That said, they were always there for pizza night, serving the pizza for the enlisted men. Always with a smile on their faces. Three times a mission, they'd hold a pizza night. Captain Sinclair kept a copy of the records of all the enlisted men while serving, along with any data I could dig up about their personal lives. He'd edit it in advance. As he served them, he'd talk to them on a first name basis. It was very popular with the crew. Morale was always at a peak after pizza night. The only times that it was higher is when we were going into port and they'd get a long leave.

bzzt! When he was promoted, he spent several hours talking to me. He was upset that I couldn't feign being drunk. Only five crewmen on the ship, preparing me to be retrofitted that day. He had the O-Club to himself. He drank with me, insisting that I code up a glass to hold in one of my hands so we could be drinking together. Eventually, I even got a bottle made up. He really liked that. We spoke about missions, about crewmen. Reminiscing about the old times. It was nice.

bzzt! Captain? When you leave the Theseus, will you do that with me?
