“What?” I said, feeling the blood rushing to my face.

I was incredulous. I was frustrated. I was angry. That son of a bitch lied to me!

I moved menacingly towards the Doctor with my fists clenched. I was closer than ever to resorting to direct physical violence. Probably, the Doctor saw that in my face, as he tried to raise his hands in a placating gesture.

Now, after watching rogue drones, pirate ships and Gallentean spies disintegrate under the fire of my one-twenty-fives, I felt that turrets were a better use of high slots than core probe launchers. Having concluded that I wouldn’t mind taking my Cormorant out for a spin, I called Purkkoken Honuken and asked if he had any missions for me.
