it sucks to be Jack's backup...it's a dead end job..
Like the poor nameless suckers that followed James T Kirk on any new planet.
" ok, Bones, Spock and whats your name - you guys are comin' with me"
Why don't they just rip up playbook or hide it then smash board hide elsewhere, only need a few minutes delay !
yeah but they have good benefits
Yeah, you knew Jack's back-up would die--they're like the "Ensign Smiths" on Star Trek.
