Getting to Know the Crew, Jean Sprat (republished)


The story of Jean Sprat and the Red-headed Yo-Yo Ma is finished and coming your way. Here's a refresher of what has happened thus far.

Official Transcript of Interview with 1st Mate Jean Sprat (republished)

While serving as 1st Mate on the Battle Cruiser Wendigo under the command of Admiral Jonathan Ludwig Sr., 1st Mate Jean Sprat was attacked on an away mission to Aldercott. Eighteen days later a search crew found her shuttle adrift in space and an unconscious male aboard. That male after DNA testing was determined to be Jean Sprat.

Here is Jean Sprat's official interview following that event.


Interviewer: Is it true that you used to be female?

Sprat: Yes.

Interviewer: And now you're male?

Sprat: Isn't that obvious?

Interviewer: Right. Do you know how this mishap occurred?

Sprat: Mishap? A broken leg is a mishap. A fender-bender is a mishap. I have a f*&$ing d#@k, you moron.

Interviewer: Yes, I'm sorry. We're just curious how it happened.

Sprat: How the hell should I know? All I remember is being attacked and losing consciousness during the firefight. I woke up only once before I was rescued and I'm pretty sure I was drugged.

Interviewer: What did you see when you woke up?

Sprat: Nothing important.

Interviewer: Just describe what you saw.

Sprat: Look, this may sound crazy, but I swear I saw the original Yo-Yo Ma – not that cyborg hack that plays for the Pluto Orchestra. He had red hair and he was standing over me holding a cello made out of spiral pasta. He was completely naked, and I found it very odd that he didn't have any genitalia. Incidentally he was a natural red head.

Interviewer: Yo-Yo Ma?

Sprat: Look, I said I was probably drugged you dip-s@#t. Why are we here? I want to be out there hunting down the a$$hole that did this to me and force him to give back my t$ts and ovaries. I'm a pissed off woman with a c#$k. Don't f*#k with me.

Interviewer: Right, how about we take a short break.

Little more could be gleaned from Sprat's memory. A UIN warrant was issued for a sexless species, or possibly a unisex species with reddish hair and resembling a 20th century classic cellist, but the search still continues without much success.
