Narrator:Commander Andreyasn and Sergeant Schlock have spent the last two days playing some "family-favorite" board games.

Kevyn:Ennesby, have the escorts give me some cover. No way are my shields going to deflect all of

Ennesby:Plasma lance! Direct hit on the Levelhead's conning tower.
Schlock:Kevyn? Can you hear me?
Kevyn:See that, Sergeant? That is a critical hit. . .
