Thurl: Sir, you've put us up against the hull where there's no lock. Shodan's team is getting ready to blast their way in to one of the dining rooms.

Tagon: That's right. If we're up against typical boarders, they'll be watching the big locks. I don't want to be ambushed on the way in.

Thurl: Remember our contract, sir. Damage above a certain threshold comes out of our pay.

Shodan: New orders, Hob. The captain says to cut cleanly, and save all the pieces.

Hob: Oh. Well, okay... Hold this while I go get a hull knife.
