Sorry! I've been working on this post for a while, but I kept on putting it off. and now I'm traveling and Wi-Fi is hard to come by. Also, I'm on the other side of the globe and in another hemisphere and will be for the entire term. Don't worry, there will be updates, though it may be another while before the next one comes.

Try not to break too many Rules while I'm gone! Remember to review!


"Where are they?" O'Shea cried impatiently. "I'm going to be late!"

Where are who?" Soren asked.

"Not who, what," O'Shea replied. "The Rules!"

West had to lift her plate out of the way as her PADD went off. "Article! Hurry up and unlock it!"


1661. *The shuttle pods are not to be used as a place to hold a "romantic" date.

1662a. *No, Mr. Spock will not use the Vulcan death grip on people you don't like.

1662b. *There is no Vulcan death grip.

1662c. *There totally is!

1662d. *No!

1662e. *Yes!

1662f. *Rule #77a!

1663a. *"I haven't had my coffee yet" is not an excuse to blow something up.

1663b. *Or set something on fire.

1663c. *Or engage in otherwise destructive behavior.

1664. *You should not shout "Yo Joe!" before going into battle. It ruins the element of surprise, and distracts your fellow crew members named Joe, Jo, Joseph, Mary Jo, Josephine, and Jo'Mar.

1665. *Please stop referring to Security Officer Richard Grayson as "Robin", "Dick", "Nightwing", or "Batman Lite". He is prepared to showcase the fine art of stick fighting to the next person who calls him that.

1666. Look, it's a nice car and yeah we're secretly bringing it to a senior officer's brother, but taking it for joy rides in the cargo bay isn't the best idea, especially when you leave tire marks. The Admirals aren't supposed to know about the car!

1667. *"Age is but a number" is not something to tell Captain Kirk when a cadet walks past. You will regret it.

1668. If your equipment does not come standard with a camera, you may not add one.

1669. Whoever installed the talking GPS into the navigation console, the entire Navigation department requests that you uninstall it and not do this again.

1670a. Do not put any old license plates on the Enterprise's hull.

1670b. What was it this time?

1670c. Kansas, KAZ 2Y5.

1670d. That's mine! No I didn't put it outside, but it vanished from my room a few days ago!

1671. Don't steal other people's license plates…?

1672. *No, you can't take a day off on Black Friday.

1673. *Don't hide monkeys in the Jefferies Tubes.

1673b. *Or tribbles.

1673c. *Or Cyrano Jones.

1674. * Can somebody explain why there are metal robots running around Engineering (and preferably get rid of them) because Scotty is not going to be happy if someone's science experiment escaped AGAIN.

1675. Whoever keeps on leaving their manicure kit on the Bridge, please stop.

1676. No switching out the sheets in Sick Bay. Yes they're ugly, but we have to use them and not the polka dot ones you put in there last week.

1677. *The Gorn are not related to Doc Croc.

1678. *Please stop talking about how "kawaii" Sulu is, it is very annoying.

1679. *You cannot pain a shuttlecraft orange with the number "01" on the sides and a Confederate battle flag on top and call it the "General Lee". You also can't weld the doors of said shuttlecraft shut either as it is hard to climb through the windows.

1680. The writers of these Rules are not held accountable for any injuries that occur because of what is posted here.


O'Shea made it to his post with thirty seconds to spare.
