Earful

The Gorse Fox was on the phone to the Silver Vixen when his work phone rang. Making his excuses he picked up the call from an Admiral in Starfleet. "I hear you are not attending my course on Thursday" was the opening gambit. GF explained that with a new project mobilising and the Programme Manager off on vacation from Thursday, it seemed politic to remain at the client rather than attend a Starfleet meeting. "If that had been your wedding, would you have missed it for a client meeting" came the retort. GF thought about this, suppressed the urge too ask if the Admiral would be sleeping with the GF after, and finally said that 37 years ago he didn't have clients. The Admiral argued further but eventually gave up... And surprisingly wished the Gorse Fox luck on the project.
