     âWe just⌠Summarize a bit in our report. Yâknow, leave out the whole bit about us having to ask for help from children.â Even then Warp was over-simplifying. The case had really been that Warp had taken to heckling a gaggle of ruffian teenagers for information. It had proven itself a useful tactic in the endâ the local smuggler was employing teen labor âbut it was still a grievous step outside of Space Ranger conduct.Â
     âItâll save us work in the end, anyway. Then we can get to the fun stuff.â âThe fun stuffâ being the aforementioned reconnaissance. âWhat kind of case do you think theyâll hand us this time, eh, Buzz? I hope we have to visit a hot vacay spot as tourists again.â
      âWell then, what do you suppose weâll tell the Commander when he asks for our leads then? Since theyâll be missing from our report.â Lightyear was in no way convinced, he was merely humoring Darkmatter for the remaining minutes until they reached the station. âYou know what the consequences are for fraudulent reports.â
Lightyear sighed once more, narrowing his eyes. âThatâs not the point of recon, Warp, and donât switch the subject on me -- if we turn in contradicting details it will be bad for both of us. Letâs review what weâre going to write, shall we?â
