Scott Hughes has built his reputation from the asshole up on the backs of others. Without his keen ability to see problems and avoid personal responsibility for all his incorrect decisions, the Computer Sector of Burnham would not be what it is today. Scott lives by four basic rules:

 

1. "It's not my fault!"

2. "It's the fault of systems!"

3. "Well, if it's not the fault of systems, then, it must be your fault!"

4. "When in doubt, lie. Then, when the truth comes out, spin your original lie to fit the situation."

 

Without his inspired leadership, we would all be lost and several secretaries would be less sexually satisfied, not to mention the personal needs of one little red-headed Host manager!
