dude classic Johny 5 meme 馃憤
Reaver 5, was a nice nickname for the system and could be passed off as almost anything from a Mecha or a person to a ship if the person listening didn't know the truth.

dude would be totally boss if just before he died this happened lol
"As per Royal Family protocol, he, along with his proven sympathizers, have been separated into seven individual pieces each and are currently on their way to the nearest star in a lander." Inquisitor Ming informed them, and the Reavers made a traditional gesture, crossing their hands over their chest and bowing in respect for the dead, even if they were enemies.

the really funny thing about this is that because it's in space the wrench actually has a very real chance of making it all the way across the distance. he'll be long gone by then but still. 馃槀
Max sent a single blast from the Ion Bombard Array at the vessel in question, then laughed as a Technician exited an airlock to throw a wrench across the expanse of space at his Mecha.

Nico knows war. say it ain't so. 馃槻
[Don't fear, I will never lead you wrong. If there is one thing that Tarith Rage knows, it is war.] Nico replied, assuring the other Reavers that they weren't all idiots for believing that they could successfully set up here.

There was no way that they weren't panicking about the fact that literally hundreds of Reaver ships were in the system preparing it to become a major industrial producer. For one, the Nations relied on the Reavers to be their transport vessels between each other, despite many of them officially denying it. For two, nobody in the military knew what exactly it was that they were planning to produce.

"What Mother means is that the defensive weapons on those moon-sized space stations would blow any approaching fleet out of the system, and the scatter of the planets means that there would be no safe angle to approach from 99 years out of one hundred." Nico translated.

Max just shook his head at the insanity. The Reavers were a wild and free bunch, the only use they would have for a planet was to relax and party after a hard mission, and to make repairs. If Reaver fleets controlled an entire planet, even the Death Winds Territory, known for its Mercenaries and danger might be impressed at the level of debauchery.

so basically their bait in a game of intergalactic follow the leader
Their only request is that we attempt to draw Tapani's attention. If we can prevent them from going all in on the defense of the Rebel Planets, the fleet believes that they can take them with minimal losses, then turn the space-based assets on the invaders and drive them out.

Nico's all like
"Great, they're bounty hunters and morons at that. We should ask them which war criminals they mean, just to piss them off." Nico joked.

how in the hell are they capable of firing anything faster than FTL. Even lasers only travel AT the speed of light.
As they were strategizing, an energy pulse streaked across their bow, exploding in space in front of them and destabilizing their warp field for a moment, but not enough to drop them back to slower-than-light travel.

like mother like daughter. scary competent.
"Alright, the shipment from the Museum is on its way up, and the Station staff have been bribed to look the other way until after we are gone. Now, bring in the Generals, and we can start working on a plan to get to an uninhabited system and possibly have a fleet meet us there." Mary Tarith announced with a smile much more bright than the situation seemed to call for.

the iron stomach brigade
"Yep, definitely edible. I lived on Military rations for almost a decade, no simple synthetic sandwich is going to hurt this stomach."

and that comment causes every member of Max's battalion to fall in and salute. "Thank you for raising our commander sir!"
"This is my childhood friend and caretaker, Dave. Take good care of him for me, would you? I need to grab him a pack of smokes from the supply." Max called back.

so funny that the instant Max sees Dave all military training goes out the airlock and he reverts back to a mischievous kid again.
"You know, just floating about in space, with a pair of friendly Pirate ships guarding it for us. Real kind sorts, they even left us their ships when they went home." Max laughed, stepping behind Dave to push his wheelchair onto the Terminus.

[You might have heard that we have been a bit overbooked lately, so I am feeling generous. Bring me one Pallet of Rum when you are finished and the contract is yours. I would appreciate it if you don't embarrass my name in the process.] Nico replied, getting laughter back from the Mercenaries.
