I must not have been thinking.
You're always thinking, Billy. Red thought about that for a few seconds.  Then he rose and walked to his bookshelf.  Next to his current copy of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and The Manual of Courts Martial was a much older book better known by its informal title, Rocks and Shoals. It was the old reference book of regulations whose ancestry went back to the 18th century, and which had been replaced by the UCMJ soon after World War II.  Wegener's copy was an antique.  He'd found it gathering dust in a cardboard box fifteen years before at an old boat station on the California coast.  This one had been published in 1879, when the rules had been very different.  It had been a safer world then, the captain told himself.  It wasn't hard to understand why.  All you had to do was read what the rules had once been…
Thanks, Portagee.  I've got a little work to do.  I want you and Riley here at fifteen hundred.
Oreza stood.
