How Many Scouts Does it Take to Screw in a Lightbulb?

Reminds me of a joke in an old Microprose game:

Q: How many brood masters does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Two. One to change the bulb and another to shoot him and take the credit.
 
And don't forget the Remf Scouts...

And the Administration Branch makes note in the Deckplans and Records, files the two Exploration Scouts payroll and Discovery Bonus and such and so on.

A Staff weeinie's job is never done. :p
 
No wonder there was a Long Night, if no-one actually fixes the broken lights. Sheesh! :)

Seven

But the reason has been deemed 'Eyes Only' due to possible Ancient significance and the system it was discovered at has been Interdicted.

The question is moot. Until sufficient funds have been saved up to swap out the air filtration system, broken lightbulbs are well down the list of priorities.
 
No, Y'all have it wrong.

It takes 2 or more, but the question is, either, (A) why is there more than one on that X-Boat? or (B) Where did they get a half ton lightbulb?
 
And this why we have admin scouts...

Field Scout: One

Admin Scouts: Seventeen
And sir the proper number is nine Administration Branch Scouts, Triple-Triplicate! See, Exploration Scouts just don't seem to get paperwork, and you wonder why the original TL for Regina was A?
 
Sure, the lightbulb could be changed, but it's behind a panel with at least three different types of fasteners on it and you can see fine by the light of the indicators on the panel, at least until we get back into port. Ow! I always run into that. No, really, even when the light bulb worked.
