{Outside Commodore Raster's Office at Starfleet Intel Headquarters, just after The Incident}

"He. Did. WHAT??" the baritone brogue echoed right through the reduced-audio-penetration lining of the Director of Special Projects office.

{Inside said Office, more quietly}

"Ye jest wait 'til ah git mah hands on yon little pipsqueak. He knoos therrre arrre limits..." a pause, then, "Whae be Samuel's condition?"

The redwood of a man fumed as he got a detailed list of the damage to one Lieutenant Samuel Langhorne Clemens (forget the number of predecessors), as he thought about ways of beating the living gods-damned hell out of a godling that had the poor judgement to interfere with the mission of the USS Hera. He was reviewing the audio/visual records of the duel as the list was spieled-out to him.

"Stable? Guid. Them biosynthetics'll werrrk ferrr th' time bein'. Ah'll werrrk up some specifications ferrr upgrrraded rrr'placements. Keep me posted- Ah'll hae the limbs and a few o'errr items rrready ferrr installation by the time Herrra arrrrives." A moment, and then, "Thank ye ferrr lettin' me knoo. I apprrreciate ye."

Once the comms were closed, Raster closed his eyes, still able to see the damage, both as it had happened, and afterward, while the team was stabilizing the young Missouri Miracle.

"Ah, lad- y'shouldnae ev'n hae been herrre- but ye did yerrr bloodline prrroud. Betterrr, strrrongerrr, and fasterrr. ah prrromise."
