Greetings I am Professor Hugh Human here from the darkstar one galaxy colonial science division to answer a few questions!
we apologize for the voices being off, thats a major problem with intergalactic television transmissions. as for the new recruit getting the best ship in the galaxy.....well, you see, human rights has been going down hill in our galaxy lately and that pilot is what you earthlings would call a........Crash Test Dummy! THATS the word I was looking for!!!
You see we need to make sure everything works before giving the ships to good pilots, anything could go wrong such as:
it could blow up as soon as you start it
it could blow up if you try to use weapons, shields, and engines at the same time
life support might pump it full of Nitrogen on accident
if we put in one part backwards the ship might actualy get worse as the pilot gets better
so you see? we couldn't risk someone important yet. we really need this stuff figured out if we are going to fight the aliens......did I type that outloud........SHOOT!! both you and I could be shot if the government finds out I typed about the aliens.....if you don't say anything I won't
well I think its best if I sign-out good-bye
END TRANSMI.........
