I love this song. The last verse "the Treecats signed Let's Dance and the Mesans said Of Sh......" Had me laughing. Great work :D

When we pulled into a high orbit, above ol' Manticore,
our crew boarded our pinnaces to see what was in store,
our expectations of the GA were high to say the least
but soon we left the system, pursued by their home fleet!

and we're banned from Landing, everyone!
Banned from Landing just for havin' a little fun!
we spent a jolly shore-leave there, for just three days or four,
but Queen Liz banned our ship from Manticore!

The Admiral of our mighty ship she needed R and R,
she met with Admiral Hemphill to ask a question (more like four)
Sonja brought up some new tech and our lady's eyes drooped,
and when their "toys" blew up the place, all she could say was "oops!!"

And we're banned from Landing, everyone!

One of our crew met a Treecat, and they bonded instantly,
He boarded a Manty SD(P), in search of celery,
but when the Marine entered the stores, the sign it said "off limits"
and when our lad took some away, he met Honor and Nimitz!

*claws and screaming*

Tom Theisman bet with Honor he could tear her ship apart,
they set the simulation up, but before the fight could start,
Old Admiral White Haven came in, with pulser and with strife,
and told our Tom it wasn't right for him to beat his wife!

A Mesan ship attacked our fleet, nobody seemed to care,
they launched all their missiles, just to say that they were there
Eloise, Estelle and Elizabeth, they had a lot to say,
and the Mesans powered up their drives, and quickly sailed away.

Our crew is Haven's finest, the first and thus the best,
we sail for honored victory, but we often like to jest,
and when the Sollies come fight us, they'll very quickly find,
that Haven and old Manticore will thrash their royal behinds!

...But 'til then...

Did Shannon finally get ship time in this to command some ships on an easy trip to Manticore post-treaty (you know with the "Oops")? This line below from the original song makes me think of her.

Our lady of communications won a ship-wide bet
By getting into the planet's main communications net...

No, I don't think Shannon would do what the com officer in the song did, but hacking is completely in character for Shannon, even as an Vice Admiral, although she wouldn't necessary have done it in a while. I could still see her doing it with some Mantie hardware post treaty.

Part of the Wikipedia page for mustang officers, about why they were called that. My notes are in bold like this!

A mustang, after being captured, can be tamed and saddle broken but it always has a bit of wild streak (could describe Shannon), and can periodically revert to its old ways unexpectedly and therefore the owner needs to keep an eye on it at all times(Oh, yes for Shannon! (Case in point: "Oops")). However, since a mustang was formerly a feral and free animal, it may very well be smarter, more capable and have a better survival instinct than thoroughbreds ( var DescribesShannonForaker=True; (I'm a coder sometimes, so I had to write that in code format)).
