NARRATOR: Rapid deployment in progress...
TAGON: My ship isn't ready yet. Where do you want me?
CDRE TAGON: Off of this ship in nine minutes.
TAGON: Harsh.
CDRE TAGON: I want you and your ship participating in this operation as soon as possible.
That won't happen if you're riding with us.
TAGON: Understood.
I think the shipwrights are almost finished with the weapon blisters. I can catch up with you by 1600 hours tomorrow.
CDRE TAGON: That won't give them enough time to install the main gun.
TAGON: It has a main gun?
CDRE TAGON: Not yet, but it will.
CDRE TAGON: C.O.F.'s original Dragon class spec included a main gun, which your ship will be getting.
TAGON: I've seen hundreds of Dragon class cruisers, and none of them had anything that looked "main."
CDRE TAGON: It's a tragic tale of budget cuts and ten thousand dragons that were obliged to get by with just their claws and some teeth.
MURTAUGH: My ship is keeping the name "Breath Weapon." You can't have it.
