Chief Petty Officer Moxon reporting. I have a chicken on my desk at work today. I am worried about her and wanted to keep her under observation. OEG. Looks droopy and possibly breathing heavy.
Congratulations on all pips, keep us updated!
Commander Catscan reporting for duty.
Great excitement expressed among the NPGC staff for Commander Jordan's impending battle with alien life forms. Boiling water and wrapping bandages.
Taking of fowl to work regulated under the "What Can I Get Away With" statute. Commander Catscan found it easier than expected. Office with door, vs cubical, strongly recommended.

Lowly private BJ saluting Commander Jordan, reporting for duty, and wondering what the heck I can do here... but am really good at taking orders, so... what do I do?

Permission granted cadet. Welcome aboard.
Please assign duty Commander Jordan, M'am!
Private Cadet Jaye, your orders are to make sea food gumbo.
STILL PACING....quietly....
Looks of worry only when not facing Commander Jordan... gritting teeth so she can't see... biting fingernails when she turns her back.
Breath, Commander... Breath....
Commander Jordan thinks Pvt. BJ needs to do coffee ups.
I have my orders... doing the best I can.
Psst. dahlianut--your right--the pip is when the chick has broken through the inner membrane into the air cell at the top of the egg and has made its first break through the shell--usually a small hole with radiating cracks. Eventually it starts to chip through the shell in a circumscribed series of cracks (often referred to as "zipping") until with much peeping by the chick and ooohing and ahhhing by the Commander and crew, it pops the top off and tumbles out.
Shhhhh! Let us watch as Commander Jordan completes her mission........
can now hear faint sounds coming from module
Aye Aye Commander Jordan. Going to the pier right now with turkey necks and crab cage....
CWBO Wren popping back in have upside down cake in boxes and epis in oven ready to go. Wait that is not right. Better go check be right back.
CPO Pastrypuff reporting for duty, sir yes sir.
Edited to remind all and sundry that pastry requisitions must be completed in triplicate and sent up the chain of command to the minister of pastries! All derelict in this duty will be shot! Unless minister is appropriately bribed with baked goods, of course. Chocolate in any form is acceptable.
