Second Judge: "Hang on... I have an idea...”

Gus stopped, his hand on the door, and turned to see the two judges whispering to each other.
“Brilliant,” murmured the first judge, then he spoke up so Gus could hear. “Okay Gus, We've got a deal for you.”
“And what a deal!” Interjected the second judge.
“We're going to give you your promotion.”
“On probationary terms.”
“ We're going to have you mentor an Agent-in-training.”
“I know just the one.”
“You just have to serve the probationary term on the Hermes.
“The ship's almost rebuilt and Captain Katina's in need of a new crew.”]]>

“Look, Fussy,” The second judge seemed to have regained his composure, “I'm going to be frank with you. It's your spotless record that's holding you back.”

“Now, Mr. Bricksfield, I would not go so far as to call your record perfect. Your record meets all basic requirements and has no disciplinary actions against it. It is, however missing certain -”
“It's damn boring!” The second judge did not have his partner's patience for formalities. “If you can't get out there and show us you can think for yourself, then you're never going to make it past officer. I'm sorry, that's just how it is.” The first judge seemed annoyed at his partner's interruption but nonetheless nodded in agreement with him.
Gus managed one more solemn “Yes sir, thank you” before turning and making his way to the door.
