Transcript

• Human con operator: Captain, we've got trouble. A Moebius-class continuum ship is coming up behind us.
• Taneel: Dios
• Nosh: A moebius is figure-eight that goes loopty-loopty-loop.
• Skitter: Yes
  thank you
• Taneel: Nosh, quiet. Mr. Cruz, can you wring anything special out of the Drive?
• Fernando: Captain, I can barely keep that Ring working. This ship is a heap.
• Taneel: OK.
  Nosh, what do we know about Moebius ships we could use against them?
• Nosh: ... Only unique thing is the Double-Rings. They pinch more than localized space.
• Taneel: Wonderful. So they're bigger and faster... And I'm flying the dang car I had in high school.
• Taneel: Options.
• Taneel: Options, options options
• Taneel: Con! Do the charts show any asteroid fields ahead?
• Human con operator: One... But we can easily avoid it.
• Taneel: We're not avoiding it. Fly us in
• Nosh: Wait wait wait wait.... you saying your car in high school smelled this bad? I find hard to believe.
