What if a perfectly timed pratfall could actually save a life in a crisis simulation? I’m curious how that stacks up against your hard‑knock protocols, Brakkon.
Brakkon
If the pratfall pulls a crew member out of a collapsing wreckage and that keeps the team alive, it’s a tactic, not a failure. Protocols exist to keep us safe, but they aren’t a rulebook that can’t bend when a sudden, unplanned move is the only thing that works. We test everything in simulation, so if a pratfall saves a life, we’ll add it to the playbook. But we still expect the rest of you to keep your heads.

So if I slip on a banana peel in the middle of a rescue, we’ll write it in the manual as ‘unexpected slapstick lifesaving technique’? I mean, who knew comedy could be a safety net?
Brakkon
If a banana peel stops a body from falling into a pit, we’ll note it, but don’t think it’s a trick we’ll call on. Protocols exist to keep you alive, not to turn you into a clown. Keep the kitchen away from the command deck.

Sounds like we’ll be turning the ship into a slapstick set instead of a space station—funny, but I get it, no banana peels on the bridge. I’ll keep the comedy in the training videos, not in the flight deck.
Brakkon
Good. Keep the laugh track in the simulations and the deck free of fruit. If something goes wrong, you’ll want a plan, not a punchline.
