Good day, Mister Adolph Acker. I have witnessed your faring in combat myself a few times and I am quite pleased that the Intelligence Service has not snatched us a pilot like you. Do not think you would be better with them though, it is quite the same, except that our stations are closer to the tea routes.
You will be sent an additional question due to the procedure, but I am sure you will find it easy.
Admiral George R. Hall
Welcome aboard, Ensign Adolph Acker. From now on, consider yourself part of the 5th Defense Fleet, flagship H.M.S. Suffolk, New London. You may keep your Liberty armament. I trust it will be put to good and crafty use.
Admiral George R. Hall
Good day, Mister Paul Cryton. Finally someone to answer correctly that the Pendragon is Her Majesty's flagship. You are the second promising pilot today too, considering your mercenary experience. That makes me happy, so I will go easy on you with the additional question.
I will have to find someone to anger me so I can drill the men better.
Admiral George R. Hall
Welcome aboard, Ensign Paul Cryton. I thought all the best of you, but now I remember: you failed to answer what is my favourite tea. Thank you for that. It helped me shout at the men louder. But do not think you have won my affection with that, no! Quite the opposite! It is your fortune that Admiral Brooks appreciates other beverages as much. Consider yourself part of the 9th Mobile Assault Fleet, flagship H.M.S. Ark Royal, Newcastle, under her command. And if you ever intend to dock with H.M.S. Norfolk, please bring some tea with you, otherwise you will be staying in silent, cold space. Any tea.
