	In '''middle school (1975-79)''', I drew comics that were mostly pretty terrible; the lone presentable relic from that era is an intro panel for [[Store Trek]], which I digitally cleaned up and re-lettered sometime in the 21st century. As a result of all that comic-style lettering, though, I did discover that I much prefer writing in block-caps; it comes much more naturally than cursive.

	~~It was another beautiful spring day on board the SUS<ref>Stellar Union Ship</ref> ''Private Enterprise'', flagship of the fleet and the Corporation's very finest, and I was very much looking forward~~ to some much-anticipated store-leave with my good friend and superior officer, Captain Sherluc Poirot. After recent events in which Poirot had been abducted by a simply frightful and ghastly alien species known only as The Fourg, his famous grey matter very nearly reprogrammed to commit deeds of unspeakable heinousness, it was generally agreed that some recuperation was very much called for. The crew as well had suffered considerable casualties during the incident, and the ship itself was expected to be in spacedock for quite some time undergoing repairs to numerous plot-holes inflicted upon it by those fiendish and notorious alien beings.		{{to woozalia}}

	I was in my quarters packing up a travel valise when I received a call on my chest badge. I reflexively tapped it and said "Yes?", and was greeted with Captain Poirot's clear, firm voice and oddly perfect upper-crust British enunciation.

	~~"I say, is that you, Number One?"~~

	~~"Why yes, indeed it is!" I said, pleased to be recognized so quickly by my friend even without any visual cues.~~

	~~"Splendid! You must come here at once; there has been a development."~~

	I at once dispatched myself to the nearest turbo-lift and hailed a cab. Thirty seconds later, I found myself being greeted by Poirot's imperturbable automatic door attendant, Mr. Homme, who escorted me at once into the chamber.

	~~"Ah, there you are, Mr. Rikings. Tell me, what do you think of this?" he said, handing me a newspadd.~~

	~~Reading the contents with slowly widening eyes, I gasped out "But this is extraordinary, Sherluc! Twelve thousand gigatons of self-stealing stem-bolts, simply vanished?"~~

	~~"Non non, mon ami, ce n'est pas ça. Look further down on the page", interrupted Poirot with a vaguely impatient wave of the hand.~~

	I let our a small gasp of astonishment as I finally observed that to which my friend was referring. "Eleven storeship captains of industry indicted on charges of wage theft and improper use of corporate funds? My God!"

	Poirot, casting his eyes briefly heavenward, quickly corrected me: "Ah, mon cher Rikings, you have always the mind of a simple mass-media consumer. This is, naturallement, the reason why I, as you say, give you the big credits. These fine captains are, shall we say, too large to fail. The cases against them, though truly damning, will of course disappear once the news outlets have had their fun. Non, aussi ce n'est pas ça. I refer, mon ami, to this particular item here." Grasping the padd firmly in his captainly hands and pointing slowly and carefully at one particular section of the page, his shining green eyes looking carefully into mine in order to make sure I actually saw it this time, he added "Do you see? This, if it is as reported, is... truly quite astounding."

	My eyes having already been widened to their maximum by the previous two items, I could feel them rapidly drying out and starting to become rather itchy as I read the indicated paragraph; I determined that after our meeting was over, I should make a brief detour by Sickbay and inquire as to the availability of eyedrops and perhaps a sedative.

	~~"Silicon Megacorp agrees to allow workers to sit down whilst doing computer work," I read aloud.~~

	~~"Yes!" ejaculated Poirot. "Do you see how truly astonishing this is?"~~

	~~I stood for a moment, taken somewhat aback. "But surely," I replied, "this is a positive if rather minor development, don't you think?"~~

	"Ah, parbleu!" replied Poirot. "I see that once again, and fully as I expected, you do not grasp the very obvious implications. Mon ami, think back for a moment! Use your tiny grey matter! When was the last time a large corporation allowed its workers any concession, no matter how small, no matter how reasonable?"

	~~After a few moments, I began to see what he was driving at. "Why, indeed, that would have been quite a long time ago! During the dark ages of the twentieth century, if I'm not mistaken!"~~

	~~"Clearly, mon ami, something is deeply amiss here! This interests me greatly, and we must investigate at once."~~

	'''[voiceover]''': Profit - the finance frontier. These are the ventures of the storeship ''Private Enterprise''. Its five-year tax write-off: to seek out new wealth, and new monetization... to boldly sell what no-one has wanted before!		{{to woozalia}}

	~~'''EPISODE ONE: Court Partial'''~~

	FADE IN: EXTERIOR - THE _PRIVATE ENTERPRISE_ docking at A LARGE AND IMPORTANT-LOOKING OFFICE BUILDING. It is STOREBASE 37, but you don't know that yet unless you happen to notice the gigantic sign out front saying "STOREBASE 37 - WHAT YOU WANT, WHEN YOU WANT IT!"

	'''CAPTAIN CLERK (voiceover)''': Industry Captain's log, storedate 2014Q2.7. New orders from Storefleet Command have interrupted our previous assignment of surveying the corporate wasteland of Sigma Wisconsin Three for undiscovered tax-loopholes, directing us instead to return immediately to Regional HQ at Storebase 37 for an emergency overhaul of the ship's mission statement.

	~~CUT TO INTERIOR STOREBASE 37: CAPTAIN CLERK, MR. STOCK, and A STOREFLEET ADMIRAL speaking with each other as they stroll down a corridor of STOREBASE 37.~~

	~~: '''ADMIRAL''': Jim I know you don't like this, but you have to see it from our point of view. It's a key part of Storefleet's mission to...~~
	: '''CLERK''' (trying to remain calm): ...prevent interference with the accumulation of wealth, yes, I know -- you don't have to quote the Prime Directive at me. But don't you think this is taking things a little too far?
	: '''ADMIRAL''': Well, Jim, our board doesn't think so -- and they should know; they've done more accumulating than the rest of us put together, after all. They see a ''direct link'' between the need to follow the Prime Directive and the need for successful individuals to be able to express themselves -- to help convey their success, as it were -- through various means: speech, advertising, and of course physical expressions using energy weapons.
	~~: '''CLERK''': Well that's all very well, but I still don't understand what that has to do with the refits you've ordered.~~
	~~: '''ADMIRAL''': Must I be blunt, Jim?~~
	~~: '''CLERK''' (sardonically): The question, Admiral, is ''can'' you?~~
	: '''ADMIRAL''': The Board has issued a new policy regarding responses to attacks by energy weapons, and we are revising your ship's legal code to reflect the necessary tactical changes mandated by that policy, which mandates a negative defensive posture in all cases. I don't know how to be more clear than that.
	~~: '''CLERK''' looks over at MR. STOCK: Did you get any of that?~~
	~~: '''STOCK''': I believe what the admiral is attempting to convey is that the store mainframe will now lower shields whenever we are attacked.~~
	: '''ADMIRAL''': Well, I suppose you could put it that way, yes. There are exceptions, of course, and if you believe yourself to be in an exceptional situation requiring a temporary override of this mandate, of course, our legal office has been advised to offer immediate turnaround on legal advisory opinion requests.
	~~: '''CLERK'''': Immediate?~~
	~~: '''ADMIRAL''': Oh yes. We've got it pared all the way down to 48 hours maximum. On business days, that is, of course.~~

	Mr. Stock, who is half-Hulkan, begins inexplicably beating up other members of the crew, claiming they attacked him first. When surveillance video is played showing that he is wrong, Stock accuses Captain Clerk of "fostering an atmosphere of distrust" amongst the crew and demands an apology from those he attacked, insisting that he was only concerned about integrity in the ship-building industry and outraged that he is now being "censored" for expressing himself freely.		{{to woozalia}}
	* When Dr. DeCoy ("Dammit, Jim, I'm a hologram, not a doctor!") investigates and discovers that Mr. Stock's biological portfolio has become saturated with mansplainin, a hormone unique to Hulkans, Mr. Stock backs down and apologizes for the fact that other people were offended by his actions, admitting that he appears to have been suffering from "Gon Farr" -- a condition which causes members of his species to exceed their authority, blame others for their own actions, and get away with it. It occurs in all Hulkan males every seven years or whenever they have a really bad day, and necessitates return to the home planet for treatment in order to prevent accountability. Mr. Stock accordingly requests a leave of absence for therapy under the supervision of Hulkan physical fitness legend K'Pau.
	* "Therapy" in this case turns out to consist of beating up members of other species until the sufferer feels better, in a ceremony known as the "Coon-Hunt-Pur-if-fie". (This ceremony takes place in the ancient ruins of GamerGate, a once-great city destroyed by government corruption. No, really. It had nothing to do with self-appointed city guardians going around threatening bodily harm to anyone who questioned their right to go around threatening bodily harm. History books simply cannot explain why people stopped wanting to live there; it's a huge mystery.)
	* Unfortunately, due to increasingly affordable interstellar travel, there is a shortage of volunteers for the ritual; Captain Clerk offers himself in order to save the career of his CFO -- but unfortunately, as the ritual proceeds, it becomes clear that Clerk has underestimated the strength and obliviousness of a fully pumped-up Hulkan deep in the state of Flak Blow, and begins to tire. Fortunately Dr. DeCoy is able to slip Clerk a media player featuring historical broadcasts from Fox News, which quickly causes Clerk to lapse into a state of apparent brain-death, satisfying Stock's inbred Hulkan need to triumph over smaller and weaker creatures.
