[in the decon chamber]

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III:
This reminds me of my dorm room at Starfleet Training. Got into a lot of trouble at old STC.

Ensign Hoshi Sato:
I got kicked out.

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III:
...Well, you can't stop there!

Ensign Hoshi Sato:
In my second month, I... I had a difference of opinion with the Company Commander.

[pause]

Ensign Hoshi Sato:
I broke his arm!

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III:
Can I ask why?

Ensign Hoshi Sato:
Poker.

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III:
You broke his arm playing cards?

Ensign Hoshi Sato:
He tried to shut down a game I was running for some of the recruits and a couple of the training staff.

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III:
Hold on. You ran a floating poker game at STC?

Ensign Hoshi Sato:
The way the regulations are worded, gambling was an honor violation only if it took place during duty hours. So I ran the game on weekends. One night my CC showed up, tried to sweep all the chips off the table, and I... well, I've a black belt in aikido. I think he was just upset that I hadn't invited him to play.

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III:
What happened?

Ensign Hoshi Sato:
I got a bad conduct discharge.

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III:
How the hell did you end up on Enterprise?

Ensign Hoshi Sato:
Starfleet needed language specialists, more than they needed to make an example out of me. They let me back in on probation and... here I am.
