HUPD officer Louis Favreau, who praises Riley's idea of letting officers eat with students in dining halls, says that though it has taken some time to iron out the kinks, Riley has made the HUPD a better place...
...chroniclers of the infant colony would have scandalized the Marquis de Sade; down the years, that tradition has been maintained.

There are smaller safety concerns as well. Only iron-based metals can be ground on a submarine's grinding machine because other metals can leave a residue on the wheel, triggering imbalances that could lead to its dangerous disintegration. Only Navy-approved multi-outlet power strips are supposed to be brought onboard. Every clothes iron must have a three-prong plug...
