<div class="para">"Damn everything to hell twice and back again!" Mreh thought for the fiftieth time since the raiders had struck.</div>

<div class="para">It had been a hell of a time for the maximum seat time rule to bite him. Since most of his last shift at the helm had been doing anything but flying, he thought it shouldn't have applied, but the regulations didn't bend, and reprimands and notations of defying the regs could lose him his pilot's license much too quickly. So, while the Excalibur had faced its first combat scenario since launching, someone else had the luxury of flying the ship while he could do nothing but twiddle his thumbs.</div>

<div class="para">He'd gone to the science labs during the red alert, putting himself at his auxiliary duty station. Before he left, Mreh would have to put in a maintenance order, as he had put a few holes in the seat. It was really getting time to trim his claws.</div>

<div class="para">"Next time," he vowed, "I'll be in the seat."</div>
