Ensign Chuckles is on the bridge at one of the auxilary stations, one right next to the COS station.

“And then, the Cardassian turned to the Ferengi and said, how big are your ears?” Chuckles was telling the bridge crew

A variety of officers (first in first dressed … though one needs to be the COS) are on the bridge at the time … (and medical staff, science staff and engineering staff are in their own threads elsewhere) …

Oh, the same size as an ferengi’s ears, and much bigger than those of a Vulcan or a Romulan, the Ferengi asked.

Oh, so this big then the Cardassian replied, flinging his hands back.” Chuckles, of course, flung his own hand back, and his hand seemed to have a tracking device attached to it which drew it unerringly and quickly to the photon torpedoes firing button … “Oops … did I do thaaaaaaat?” Chuckles said, in addition to being a comedian, Chuckles was also rather uncoordinated.

Only one is fired, but it seems only one is required, as the torpedo flies through space with the greatest of ease, flying unerringly towards an asteroid that has a sign on it that reads “Sacred Relic of the Ouzenge … Children’s Practice in Session”. The torpedo seemed to have a bit of fun as it circled the asteroid, and then paused and seemed to wink at the Constellation before exploding the asteroid in question.

Brenna was sitting on the bridge, center seat for the moment. She watched in horror, “Self destruct the torpedo!” But it was too late…she stared in horror at the screen.

“I err … I err,” Chuckles said … and then looked at the COS, “did you hear the one about the kind hearted COS who forgave accidents, Sir?”

=^= Bridge to Transporter room, begin emergency transport of any survivors from that blown asteroid!=^=

She turned and looked at Chuckles, the seriousness of the situation belying her typical laid back good humor, “Did you hear about the one where the crazy pet lady set her killer dogs loose on the careless ensign that just blew up children?”

=^=Atoded to Zarcal and Bellini. We have an incident here. You are both needed on the bridge, right now.=^= Brenna was not one to panic, raise her voice, or quaver. But the sterness in her voice would leave little doubt to the seriousness of the situation to Zarcal and Bellini.

Then the ship was being hailed …
