Panel 1:
Andre Peters: I can't believe we're setting up beer pong. At midnight.
Commander Dale Zurkett: Hey, you're the one who says we have to shut off the holodeck because of the repair work.
Andre: Well, that. And also, holodecks notoriously go rogue during long diplomatic missions. No one knows why.
Panel 2:
Andre: But speaking of repair work... I should get back to it. Or maybe sleep.
Dale: Oh, no. I've been over your duty roster. You have haven't had any time off for a week. Not counting the banquet, anyway.
You're taking a non-sleeping break first. With beer.
Colonel Hank Reynolds: Hey, I thought Zack was joining us?
Dale: Yeah, he said he'd be here. I think he was last on the bridge with Natashia. She must have sent him to bed.
There's no way she'd leave him up there on his own.
Panel 3:
Lieutenant Zack LeRoux: So, uh... keep it going... forward.
Also, would any of you like to take the conn for awhile?
No?
Panel 4:
Ezzok: How does this game work?
Hank: Don't worry, we'll show you. And take a beer.
Panel 5:
Narration Box: And, no much later...
Major Ulbek: Fascinating.
Panel 6:
Dale: Hey... Ulbek, right? You ever play beer pong?
Ulbek: Most definitely not.
Hank: You should join us! I could even make it an order.
Ezzok (aside): C'mon, it's got to go in this time!
Panel 7:
Ulbek; Please don't, Colonel. I am currently pursuing a personal interest.
Dale: C'mon... you're not just some regular Vulcan, right? You were in Section 31, after all.
Ezzok (aside): Oh sure, Andre. YOU get it in the cup.
Panel 8:
Ulbek: That is not a fact that should be discussed loudly.
Dale: Yes. But everyone here already knows.
Ulbek: Are you intoxicated?
Dale: Only a little. Anyway... if you're not here to play...?
Panel 9:
Ulbek: Do you have any knowledge of Lieutenant Commander Starrat's personal history?
Dale: I read her file, yeah. What about it?
Ulbek: Then are aware of why she was previously taken off starship duty and assigned to cataloging moon craters.
Dale: Yes. An altercation with a superior officer. Broke his nose, I think.
Ulbek: You don't find that fact disturbing?
Panel 10:
Dale: Hey, most of us are misfits in this crew.
Is there a specific reason you're investigating my officers?
Ulbek: Merely... curiousity.
Dale: Well, I'd like you to cut it out, then.
Ulbek: As you direct. I shall retire and leave you to your... game.
Panel 11:
Andre: Speaking of retiring...
Dale: You're not escaping that easily! Not with a one point lead.
You're going to finish at least one game. And you're going to have fun.
That's an order.
Andre: Sigh. Fine. I mean... whoopee!
