Former, current, or, in fact, future members of the Tenth Foot, this is your corporal speaking.

[Yes, even if you are from the future or the past, she is still your corporal.]

[A significant pause. Then:]

Stand up straight. You're embarrassing me.

[That will be all u_u]

"I will slouch if I bloody well like." Yes, sarge. I will get to slouching on the double.

On a great damn spaceship, sir, is the thesis statement of this report.

[A what.]

Not being an educated man like what you are, Corporal, I've got no bloody idea what you mean by damn great spaceship.

[He's entirely unworried by this.]

You've clearly got it well in hand. Permission to carry on slouching.

[So proud srsly.]

[deshabille]

[Omg. This is the best permission she's ever received. She is super not slouching at all after this.]

Sir. Understood. I will slouch as required and appropriate in any particular . . . spaceshippy circumstance.

[And then, somewhat under her breath:]

It's a ship. In space. Just for the, you know. Record.
