Thurl: Captain, I've found work.

Captain Tagon: Let's hear it.

Thurl: It's a relief mission. We accompany supplies to the Credomar Habitat and oversee their distribution.

Thurl: There's been some rioting, but nobody has anything sharper than sticks and bottles. It'll be a perfect, low-risk shakedown tour.

Thurl: I've run a cost-benefit analysis, and it remains profitable even in extreme contingencies.

Captain Tagon: Did you just weasel-word your way around saying "What's the worst thing that could happen?"

Thurl: Hey, you just now invoked Murphy, not me. Those weasel-words are there for our protection.
