Transcript
ADMIRAL GEOFFREY TOLWYN: Your performance is not what I counted on, Colonel.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Yes, sir.
ADMIRAL GEOFFREY TOLWYN: Perhaps the time away from the cockpit has taken its toll, perhaps there are other reasons. I wouldn't know.�
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: None that I'm aware of, sir.
ADMIRAL GEOFFREY TOLWYN: Well, you understand that I have no choice here. A fighter craft is a very valuable piece of equipment. It has to be under the command of someone who can fit into it like a glove. The glove hasn't been fitting, has it Colonel?
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Perhaps some more time in the flight sim, Sir.
ADMIRAL GEOFFREY TOLWYN: Little too late for that. I'm afraid I have to take far more drastic steps. I am stripping you of your commission. Your days in the Space Force are over You're no paperpusher, so I won't insult you by offering you a desk job. It wouldn't do for the great hero of the Kilrathi war to have sunk to such depths. I think it's best to make a clean break, sever all ties. Thank you, Colonel.

CANTEEN BARTENDER: Yeah, looks like for good this time.
