Welcome aboard. I'm Commander Samuel Vimes and I -

- is that a duck?

[notabomber]

Thank you. I'm sure it will be a pleasure serving with you.

It's not a duck, she's Elizabeth.

[stoneface_vimes]

But Elizabeth is a duck? Your pet, then?

[notabomber]

She's a cherished companion of mine, yes.

[karmauberalles]

...Why did you bring a duck onboard.

[notabomber]

She's an invaluable ally.

[karmauberalles]

...

What does she do?

[notabomber]

Ah. Well. I've found her cuteness to be quite the moral booster. I've also spent the last few months training her in reconnaissance.
