Panel 1:
Commander Dale Zurkett: *snore*
Computer: *bzzrt!* Good morning, Commander! *bzzrt!*

Panel 2:
Dale: Huh? What?
    Computer... what time is it?
    Is there an emergency?
Computer: It is 0600, Commander Zurkett! The emergency is good morning!
Dale: My duty shift doesn't start until 0800.

Panel 3:
Dale: Wait, did you say the emergency is good morning?
Computer: I did, Commander! Is that incorrect? Or is it funny?
Dale: It's neither. Run a diagnostic, please.
Computer: Working... Diagnostic complete. No errors found. Would you lime me to soothe you back to sleep with relaxing music?

Panel 4:
Dale: No, Im up. Just replicate some coffee, please. Black.
Computer: Replicating soy sauce ale. Share and enjoy!

Panel 5:
Dale: What is this? April Fools?
Computer: Unfamiliar with April Fools! Shall I consult the databanks?
Dale: No.
    Engineering. This is Zurkett.
Andre Peters (comms): Yes, sir. Andre here.
Dale: Is there something going on with the computers? Or the replicators?

Panel 6:
Andre: Thompson! Shut off the plasma flow before you disconnect those conductor coils! Do you want to burn your face off? I don't think so!
Dale (comms): Um, hello?
Andre: Sorry, sir. Dealing with a trainee. And not that I know of.
    But I'm out of the loop. We're kind of busy with attaching the new nacelles.
Dale (comms): Right, yes. Do you need anything down there? More manpower?

Panel 7:
Andre: I'll let you know. The Spoogians are supposed to deliver the rental crane at noon.
Dale (comms): Yeah, I remember. Hey... do you know if we've got any spare coffee in the galley?
Andre: Couldn't say, sir. I'm a soda man myself.

Panel 8:
Dale: Thanks, Andre.
Andre (comms): Oh, I think Hylia and Zack were chasing some weird subspace glitch. Maybe that's your computer bug?
Dale: The subspace laughter? That was a week ago. But I guess stranger things have happened.
    Zurkett out.
Computer: Greetings Commander Zurkett! This your computer again. Admiral Benson has sent you an urgent message!
Dale: Ugh. Coffee first. Then I'll deal with the Admiral.
