Can I get a promotion to full LT?

"Oil found on Mars: Proof of extra terrestrial life!"<br/><br/>That would make a REALLY neat subplot....<br/><br/>And I wouldn't mind having Laura as Louise's fuck-buddy, not least because of the wonderful conflict of interests that creates when they are both selected!
