"Please say you're joking."--Ensign Ryan upon finding out that Shauna Finelli was his superior officer.
Ensign Thadius Ryan is an engineer on board the Alliance Star Ship Muffin. He is quiet and reserved and does what he is told. He has been somewhat confused by Colonel Finelli's attitude and handling of the engines but found her to be very good at what she does so he does not argue.
