Theodore McFarlane:
"Anything BB might need for the still. sugar, corn, etc. Real beer would be good too."
BB locked Teddy with a deadly glare.
"I don't know what you are talking about so if you don't want to eat through a straw for the rest of the year I suggest you forget you ever heard that kind of rumor."
Normally there was a bit of levity to her frequent threats of physical violence. She was a marine, busting chops was how they got along as a group. This time was a little different, however. There was an intensity that made it clear she was not joking around or talking with hyperbole.
Granted a bootleg still on a naval vessel would have been a serious crime depending on who caught them and what charges they decided to file. A particularly vindictive commander could reasonably argue treason based on the misappropriation of supplies. Having a still wasn't just a fun way to explore chemistry but a potential court martial and firing squad.
After that little conversation BB goes back to disappearing for awhile. She is seen on occasion carrying spare parts around the ship but once again goes dark.
