WHO: Prince Gorak
WHERE: Bridge of the Suid Sidal...

Moments later, after hearing Greystar rant on the open channel, Gorak sighs and responds.

Gorak: "Admiral Geystar. How foolish are you? You KNOW you violated standard ship distance safety protocols. We had a shield accident and you suffered as a consequence. Why in the name of Helg were you so damn close?? Is your hose not long enough, Admiral?

"Let me remind you I did not break the truce. YOU did when you beamed those men on board the unauthorized Romero.

"But I suppose your right, I am screwed now that the degreaser is not forthcoming. But truth be told I did not really trust that's what you were doing anyway. Gawd only knows what was going to be sprayed out of those short hoses of yours."

Gorak: (ignoring the fact that the Pondscum Nebula's hull was already weakened by the BANG explosion earlier and that a deflector swell can be very dangerous to anything struck by it) "By the way, what the Helg are you feds making your ships out of nowadays? Thats some pretty nasty hull damage a mere deflector sheild has done to your grand flagship. Good luck with that.."
