So apparently you can give beta 1 your Katana in "The Blade Itself". Battuta even stated this wasn't a bug, but a feature. So I decided to have some fun with it. You can just imagine how this situation came to be.
Tevs show up in the Europa orbit. Bowman Station has been rigged with nukes.
Ivan Genady: Well, crap. If I'm going to have a chance of getting away from this I'm going to need a lot more speed than a Karuna can give me. Beta 1 walks by, hard thoughts on his mind. He's going into battle, REAL BATTLE. The though of being near beams terrifies him, he knows they won't target him but the thought of being sliced apart by a missed slasher isn't pleasant. He walks up to his Captain, looking for some encouragement.
Ivan Genady: Ensign, before you say anything, I need to inspect your fighter. You know how unreliable Kents can be, I need to personally make sure none of my brave pilots die due to weapons jamming or other malfunctions. Ivan climbs into the cockpit, starts the kent and prepares for launch.
BTW YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF THE KATANA, HAVE FUN WITH THE NUKES. BYE!
A lone kentauroi speeds out.
Sorry about the crappy audio, my recording setup is completely **** as I don't usually do this.
