NARRATOR: We're not quite done with the epilogue...

Sign on wall: LAZ5 4

KEVYN: How are Tagon and the others doing?

PETEY: It's hard to say.

PETEY: About thirty of the Toughs, including all the Fobott'r and both of Para's mechanical friends, retired to Outer Uuplech.

PETEY: Breath Weapon was just swept up by a carbon-class U.N.S. battleplate, and that vessel has proven to be less... porous than most U.N.S. facilities, so I do not yet have further information.

PETEY: Tagon, Schlock, and a few others aboard Cynthetic Certainty are making their way here.

KEVYN: Don't bring them here.

KEVYN: The “random” long gun attacks don't look random.

PETEY: You have a theory?

KEVYN: I think the Andromedan Pa'anuri are using a galaxy-sized five-curve telescopic array to walk long gun shots onto your generator's control systems.

KEVYN: The timing of the shots suggests a number of things about the way they might be...

PETEY: Tell me more about this “timing” thing.

NARRATOR: Now we're done.
