Well, 02 is in command and everyone else is tied for second-in-command :P

True, but for some old habits die hard, and Phayne would've spent quite a few years working his way up the ranks and using standard military protocol.

I'm just surprised he used the wrong term when addressing the WOI (should've been either Mister Bridges or Warrant Officer Bridges, rather than Ma'am), but that could've also been a carefully crafted insult, reminding her that she used to be a commissioned officer. Or he's being sexist, using the feminine form of address.
