    There should be a wag the dog story about a captain taken hostage who uses his pins in rare communications to morse-code the coordinates to the viewer while the enemy doesn’t know the ranks and only occasionally notices that the pins aren’t the same as yesterday.

    Only for the other side to subsequentially promote them to a Decorated Grade-A Admiral of the Quadrant in Chief 8-days-in-8-hours Research and Medical Engineer of Friday Night Alamo Roleplaying and the Borg Pong Champion of the Star Fleet making them 16-pin worthy to speed things up.

    Subsequently inspiring a drinking game of repeating made-up ranks with adding another one among ensigns.
