“Oh, you’d just love that, wouldn’t you?”
“Yes. I’d love it, because then all of the hopped up Imperial goons wouldn’t have a lock on our signal for their smartrounds to follow.”
“Oh, so now you’re doubting my scrambling skills? I could walk right up to a guard and shout the entire lyrics of the Battle Hymn of Arcturus VII right in his face and he wouldn’t hear it.”
“Lucky him.”
“You know what? Fine. Fine! Just say the word, and I’ll shut up right now.”

“Nice try. You’re going to have to get up a little earlier than - hnng. All right. Nice one. You see? That’s how you - oh it is on now.”

“Already? They can’t be. That would mean...”
“Yeah.”
“Not good.”
