Narrator: Cavalry, fairy godmother, deus ex machina...these are all less-than-apropo monikers to hang on the UNS Battleplate Bredefort right now.
UNS Officer: Serial Peacemaker, this is the Vredefort. Please make ready to receive passangers.
Ennesby: Captain, I think we're about to be boarded.
Narrator: The Vredfort saved the day, yes. Think of it, though, as "the Piper," because the Piper always needs to be paid.
UNS Officer: Where's Captain Kevyn Andreyasn?
Kevyn: Right here, gentlemen. Is this about the galactic core event, and the Athens II?
UNS Officer: We picked up a 'cast from the Athens II, yes. What did you have to do with the destruction of that ship?
Kevyn: Um...nothing? I mean, we were talking to them, and learned they were too close to this anomaly at the galactic core, and then we got cut off.
Kevyn: Didn't you read what Athena sent you? I thought that was why you were saving my bacon.
UNS Officer: In a word, no. Athena's message threw up a red flag because of your name, and the associated coordinates.
Kevyn: And my name is flagged...
UNS Officer: ...Because of a certain customer list your people have perloined.
Kevyn: Ah. Well, as long as you're here, can we talk about saving the galaxy?
UNS Officer: Boy, hand some folks an ounce of political antimatter and they become megalomaniacs.
Ennesby: No, he's pretty much always like this.
