[peridork]

Can someone please explain to me why the captains are so obsessed with assigning certain maintenance duties for certain parts of the ship to those of us who don't even use them?

I've long since been informed of what goes on in a bathroom, and as such I refuse to go anywhere near one!

[ Peridot just received her rank reward, and she's really not amused by what the note that came along with it is implying. ]

Maybe this is what they think is funny.

[peridork]

Why would they make a joke about something this important?

[ She is so offended by the very idea. ]

[stompadour]

Humans aren't very intelligent, Peridot, you must have noticed that by now.

[peridork]

Some of them aren't quite so bad, but yes. I've noticed.

[ Not ALL humans. ]

[stompadour]

I've yet to meet any that've impressed me.

[peridork]

Really? Not even the one that threw you and made you have to regenerate?

[stompadour]

[WOW, PERIDOT.]

It doesn't take intellect to throw someone.

[peridork]

Oh.

I didn't realize we were still limiting the parameters to intellect, since that's not really a trait I strongly associate you with.

It's worth noting, though, that Banner is surprisingly intelligent. You know... for a human.

[stompadour]

[WOW, PERIDOT.]

Intelligence is exactly what we were talking about. Don't be obtuse.

Which one is that? The one you're roomed with?

[peridork]

Affirmative.
