Commander
“Sometimes a pharmacist’s mate appeared and gave me an injection or changed a dressing. I asked Nestor to circulate among the Imperious Rabbits whenever he got a chance, helping them settle in and deal with what must be a million problems.

The blind bunny—whose name I’d learned was Clem—was in a Tank as well, and would surely be able to see again. On that front, at leas...t, the news was as good as could be expected. I also spent as much time studying the damaged heavy cruiser as I could. The Seventh of November, named after the date of Imperial Secession, had lost her bows to a torpedo. All by itself this was a blow she’d been lucky to survive.

Clearly, other Royal Navy men besides ourselves were earning their paychecks.MoreLess
