"Is this true?"
Rhuut-Ritt shrugged his shoulders, "It seems to be an official document, bering five pages of official certifications by Admiral Julin and the standard pictures depicting Fleet Admiral Blade as some sort of religious symbol, you know the laurels on his head and the thunderbolts in his hands....
"Yes, I'm more than familar with those images of his "royal worshipfullness", Chuut replied sarcastically, "I thought it was bad enough when Pharoh was "The Living God". "Well at least they didn't include the ones with Blade on the Bridge of the Battleship, sitting on his "mighty thone"....<Snicker> "At least we can thank Agave for not having to look at those anymore....."
"Indeed", Rhuut-Ritt commented with a mirthful look in his eyes.
"Anyhow," Chuut continued, "so the Gorn are offering a fiefdom, and are delivering the extra T-bombs for free to all bounty hunters, despite the fact that the pirates are opposed to them currently, and the ISC has offered a reward even bigger than that of the Gorn for his capture, a fiefdom I believe it says <looks at document>, actually an Earldom.....hmmmm....
"You wouldn't", stammered Rhuut looking at his captain, "Captain Agave is an old friend, and he joined the pacification forces only at your urging...."
"You know me better than that", Chuut responded with a wink, "I would never betray a friend like that........<Chuut pulls out an 18th century naval captain hat and puts on an eyepatch>.....but Kat Beard The Pirate, "Scourge of Space, he'd do it in a heartbeat!"
Set course for that secret asteroid base near the Star's End Bar, we got some ship refits to do, and hoist the Jolly Kitty!
