Ceepee: Sir, we're being hailed by the UNS Battleplate Vredefort.
Banger: Tell 'em we're too busy to talk right now. We've almost got the Serial Peacemaker!
Ceepee: Done. Sir, the Vredefort has fired on us.
Banger: So fire back!
Banger: Wait...did you say "Battleship" or "Battleplate?"
Ceepee: "Plate," sir.
Banger: I don't suppose you overcame your programming and disregarded my order to return their fire?
Footnote: Note: Okay, sometimes you DO want to announce that you've launched missiles. Usually when this happens, though, you're showing off.
