Clone-scription

Who:- Chris Harris, Security teams, Jayne
Where:- Security Office
When:- A few hours before Phil came back.
 
"I just don't see why we need more staff!" protested Sergeant Lewis, folding is arms and leaning back against the wall.
"EEEEEE!!!!" said Mini Phil.
"We've been understaffed for months!" Mk. 10 replied. "And frankly, the Captains' had enough of the amount of crime on the ship!"
Harris nodded, leaning forward in his desk chair he spoke. "Ever since Captain Chrysler took command, the amount of reports we've had in about serious crime aboard the ship has quadrupled."
he clicked his computer mouse, and the projector screen behind him displayed a line graph. "Now, there will always be a certain degree of crime on a ship like the Dwarf...Jay understands this, and is pretty lenient over a lot of things....."
"I get that..." interuppted crewman Sanchez "But why 'as da crime gone up so much since he woz captin?!"
"It hasn't." Harris replied "What we think has happened is that people trust Jay and so feel confident in reporting things to him. Captain Calvert didn't much care, in fact, between you and us, he encouraged alot of it."
"Sure made our jobs easier..." Lewis responded
"Yeah, well, maybe Jay thinks it's about time you lot earned your keep." Harris snapped back. "When was the last time any of you arrested anyone?"
"Erm..." said Sanchez
"Um..." said Lewis.
"EEEE!" said Mini Phil
"I arrested someone the other day!" said Lt. Skelton "Yeah! He was dealing drugs on the promenade!"
"HE WAS A PHARMACIST!" Harris responded "HANDING OUT PRESCRIPTIONS!!"
"Yeah, well, he was still sellin' drugs!"
Harris slapped his forehead.
"Look, we've been getting all kind of reports in the last few weeks, burglary, drug offences, assault, even prostitution. All these things may have been acceptable under Calverts command, but Chrysler wants' it stopped. He's given me authorisation to recruit anyone who volunteers to join security and put a stop to it all. And there will be no soft touches. All these things, among others will warrant sentences in The Tank, and I expect you guys to actually do your jobs for a change!"
"AHEM!" came a womans voice from the door. "I heard you were recruiting?"
"That's right" Harris replied "Are you interested Cadet?"
"You could say that" replied Jayne "Piloting's not for me. I wanna join security...."
Harris nodded. "Ok...when can you start?"....

"No idea. He looks different too, bigger maybe. It could be something to do with the hymenoptera blood I injected earlier.""Oh my gods!" Shouted Efof. "You just gave birth to a tiny Hymenoptera!" "Oh yeah." Said Justin, and his face turned into a beaming smile. "I guess I did!" Justin held his hand out and Dave the Half-Hymenoptera dragonfly landed on it. Justin grinned like a proud father."This never would have happened in my universe." Said Phil.

"Why the hell did you inject yourself with Hymie blood?" Jay asked, angriliy.
"I was hoping I could become a Hymenoptera!" Justin replied innocently.
"WHAT?" Jay snapped, grabbing Justin by the shirt and shaking him. "You'd better be joking ensign!"
"Why?" Justin said in response "Rosette's one!"
"Not by choice!" Jay said "This is treason, Pancake! The Hymenoptera are our biggest enemies!"
"No offence Captain, but you worked with them once!"
"NOT THROUGH CHOICE! And look what they made me do!" 
"But didn't you feel powerful?" Justin replied "Like there was nothing to stop you from doing whatever you wanted?"
Jay couldn't hold back anymore. Memories of his time in the hive, the actions that caused his late wife's death, the destruction HE'D been forced to cause came flooding back, and Jay punched Justin as hard as he could.
Justin fell back against the table.
"Security!" Jay said into the comm. "I want Pancake arrested......maximum security...."
 
<Tag Justin! - Oh, and Jaynes' security from now on>
