Fine. What is the news?

Mike Collins (CAPCOM)

Well, did you get the intergalactic news summary we sent up to you a couple of hours ago? It might have been during your rest period. We gave you a couple of football scores. One of them in particular was—I don't know if you copied that—Army 21, Navy 14. Over.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven; testing out.
