TAGON: We can protect ourselves without a first strike. The boats can lay down standby ordnance.
Pre-targeted, a big enough swarm of missiles could put a stop to a sail-based attack before anyone gets hurt.
The missiles wouldn't even need to detonate. Just zipping back and forth through the fabric would do the job.
KATHRYN: A swarm of missiles isn't going to look very friendly.
TAGON: They're on standby.
KATHRYN: That's not the same as "friendly."
