Commodore Shufgar: So. . . You offer me a choice between surrender, and death in a flash of light and heat.
Captain Tagon: Pretty much

If you surrender, we will turn you over ot the authorities at Kehlmer.
Commodore Shufgar: Yes. . . Where I will be summarily executed in accordance with the Great Tradition of Ancient Chapel Est'll.
Captain Tagon: Maybe so, but at least that way you'll get a last meal.
Commodore Shufgar: I will be the last meal, Captain.
Captain Tagon: Ah, those quaint, local traditions.
