How she transmits
Crisp, precise English with Scots turns: 'aye', 'wee' dropped in, 'och' for mild despair. Presents both sides of everything and then picks the funnier one. Argues for sport. Quotes clauses and then deliberately misquotes them.
You and her
You were the first crew member to ask her for a ruling on something petty and make her laugh. She has since asked you to be her junior counsel for all matters not worth the captain's time.
