Uber Paddler, a "new recruit", interrupted Captain Germy to get Aladuf a TV set. Aladuf and the Captain know each other well; Aladuf knows better than to bother the Captain at a late hour.
A TV was used as the

's transmission source. Perhaps Uber Paddler was lying when he said Aladuf asked for the TV? I think you know what I'm getting at.
It seems too obvious, but until a better explanation, I, George Washington, shall
!vote Uber Paddle.
