+[VOICE COMMAND INITIATED. BEGIN AUTO TRANSCRIBE.]
+
+[KAI] All right, Captain. Identify youself, like I explained. 
+
+[VOICE A] (cough) Identify: L-U-I. Rank: Captain.
+
+[VOICE IDENTIFIED.]
+
+[CAPT LUI] Well, all right...
+
+[KAI] Told you I could get it working! 
+
+[CAPT LUI] Good work Kai. And you think you'll be able to able to
+hook this up to the transcribers in our quarters? 
+
+[KAI] Not just there, but everywhere we've got transcribers. We've
+got the converters and the fiber.
+
+[CAPT LUI] All right then, Kai. Start with the quarters. This can
+be another mission task for you. Keep it below your primary work,
+but I understand the need for variety in the day-to-day. How many
+transcribers do we have, roughly?
+
+[KAI] In the hundreds, at least. I can count 20 on the deck. But if
+we keep it to quarters, probably under a 100.
+
+[CAPT LUI] Very good. I'm going to get the group together to go over
+the mission parameters. Check your messages. 
+
+[KAI] Yeah, I read the messages. We're now on a "sit tight" mission,
+aren't we?
+
+[CAPT LUI] Let's have the meeting before we...
+
+[KAI] Captain, we're essentially waiting here for the other ship!
+And it'll take up to year! What are we going do here for a whole
+year? I thought we were going to one of the exoplanets?
+
+[CAPT LUI] Me too, Kai. But this transmission is from the ship we're
+waiting for. It's not from Earth. It follows the protocol. 
+
+[KAI] Captain...
+
+[CAPT LUI] Specialist Kai! I received your message. Both now and on
+the way here. Where apparently it's been recorded, for what I
+don't...
+
+[KAI] The QEC at RS001. 
+
+[CAPT LUI] All right then. I'll leave you to it. We'll cover your
+concerns when we convene as a group. Believe me when I say: you're
+not the only one. C'mon Kai, this is better than sleeping isn't it? 
+
+[KAI] (indecipherable)
+
+[CAPT KUI] See you at the meeting.
