|Title= A Prank To Say Goodbye. (Backsim aboard the USS Oumuamua) | |||
|Short Description= | |||
Ensign Nilsen confides in 1st Lieutenant Maxwell about his plan to resign after receiving a test pilot contract, and together they plot a harmless prank involving the "Imperial March" theme to create a memorable farewell. | |||
|Long Description= | |||
In Cargo Bay 2 aboard the USS Oumuamua, Ensign Lhandon Nilsen and 1st Lieutenant Arturo Maxwell plot their latest prank. Recently, Nilsen had a tense meeting with Private O'Reilly about the FAC situation on Gault, which concluded with a handshake. Now, he’s back in the cargo bay, but with Maxwell this time. | |||
Nilsen jokes about a mental breakdown, referencing their last prank involving a grammar glider and food replication mishap. Maxwell is intrigued as Nilsen hints at a new idea but first confesses something personal. Nilsen reveals he plans to resign due to his recent mishaps, including making the XO angry and the invitational incident. He shows Maxwell a PADD with an image of a Type 9 racing shuttle from McLaren-Velocity, who offered him a test pilot contract. This opportunity would allow him to support Gault, his home. | |||
Maxwell, understanding the gravity and nobility of the offer, inquires about Nilsen's decision timeline. Nilsen has 21 days to decide. They discuss executing the prank, involving a subtle program to play the "Imperial March" from Star Wars when certain doors open, targeting their superior who loves gummy bears. The prank must be kind and non-offensive, ensuring a memorable yet harmless exit for Nilsen. As Maxwell prepares to hand in an armory report, they share a conspiratorial grin, ready to carry out their plan. | |||
