IAFA: Captain, six of the twenty vessels are changing course to engage us.
TAGON: Iafa, did any of them move before our light got to them?
IAFA: The two furthest from us.
TAGON: Outstanding. Now we know the range of the hypernet jammers.
IAFA: Shall I issue the usual "under attack" distress call?
TAGON: Sure, but say something about how we were provoked into killing some pirates.
Make it sound friendly.
