<strong>Malcolm Wade -- Respect the Protocol</strong><br/><br/>Static crackled over the radio for a moment before a voice sounded from the small, tinny speaker, and Mal almost missed the sound beneath Cathy's voice as she chattered behind him. So, a new player, eh? Well, after what he'd just witnessed in the dining room Malcolm was in no mood to refuse another hand on this job. He waved Cathy off a few feet and brought the radio up, fiddling with the volume knob before he answered.<br/><br/>"Uh, yeah. I mean, roger that -- aw, hell, forget it.
