AbelardThe pilot dressed in a crumpled uniform adorned with the von Valancius coat of arms still looks quite pale. Her white hands bear red marks left by the wheel. The scream of terror she let out when the missile flew right past your shuttle is etched in your memory.
AbelardHer voice quivers slightly, but even her fear cannot stop her from using typical voidsman jargon, "That was some f-flight, Your Lordship/Ladyship. If we'd been a little less lucky, we'd be checking in at the port in the sky right now."
YOU"What was that weapon they fired at us?"
Abelard"Can't say I know, Your Lordship/Ladyship, but the shots it fires certainly fly quick. I've never seen guns like that before. And they were firing from far away — almost from beyond the bar... the horizon, that is. Who gave those yobs a terrifying contraption like that?"

Abelard"My bad, there, Your Lordship/Ladyship! Senior flyer... Senior pilot Nimas, appointed by the senior deck officer to serve on your personal shuttle."

Abelard"I'm awful sorry, Your Lordship/Ladyship, but... I can't. The Emperor saved us once, but if they shoot at us again, we'll be blown to smithereens for sure. If I get Your Lordship/Ladyship killed in such a daft fashion, Saint Drusus will make me polish white-hot wing flaps with my tongue after I kick the bucket!"

Abelard"Lord Captain, the pilot is right — we cannot put your life at such risk. We will have to wait until the governor's forces deal with this menace... or until the rebels run out of shells... Surely they aren't sitting on a whole depot of them..."
