@neal Marissa, the science fair kid seemed pretty capable. Troi did say after she became commanding officer during "Disaster" that she might try for First Officer rather than Captain because it "didn't seem like there were many qualifications"
Finished up another chunk of code while waiting. The programs I'm writing lately are tiny and separate but related so I'm taking them one at a time, making it work, and then breaking out the stuff I can reuse and generally cleaning things up before testing that it still works, then moving on to the next thing.
