Best part of the day: Captain calling us "Bastards"!

Scene: 4 young scientists hanging out on the helideck (just below the bridge, where the Captain manages ship operations) enjoying the sunset, having a couple of beers, and taking pictures. Suddenly the window of the bridge flies open with the Captain hanging out above us.

Captain: "You Bastards!"

(at which point we are worried: is it because we are on the helideck? is is because we have open bottles?), but no:

Captain: "I was just reporting lightning strikes!!!"

(due to the flashes on our cameras!)

Our captain is actually about the most chill guy you could imagine running a ship of ~20 crew and ~20 scientists, which is what made being called bastards even better, as he meant bastards in only the most enduring manner!
