"Hello. You ordered a Babe-wash for your vessel. Due to staff
shortages, I will be your babe." said Mk.7 in the hopes of at least
confusing the ship enough for it to disengage the ship that it was
attacking.
A voice crackled over the comms.
"Ah yes, thank you. I would like a full wax and don't scratch the
paint work." came a smarmy French voice.
"A FRENCH ship, eh?" said Mk.7, grabbing the weapons control, before
Benjen shoved him away from the helm.

Mk.7 landed with a loud clang against the stereo he had retrofitted
to the side of the cockpit. Benjen quickly docked with the ship
being threatened, and called for the crew to come aboard.
Mk.7 hovered at shoulder height to Benjen.
"Taking in refugees, eh?" said Mk.7 slightly disappointed "Well,
I'm not without my compassionate side. Just don't let them screw
with my A/V setup and start watching stupid chav movies."
"Uh, they've screwed with your A/V setup" said Benjen
"And they are watching chav movies. Well this is just great. I ought
to eject them all for the Frenchies to practice their shooting with."
"Come on" said Benjen "They were gonna get killed over cheese dip!"
said Benjen
Mk.7 sighed and opened a channel to all of the ships that were being
held up.
"Everyone, we are forming a convoy. follow us, and stay close. We
don't want these guys picking us off as we go."
Sure enough, a group of ships came to them, and formed a convoy
bound for the Blue Dwarf.
"Wow" said Mk.7 "We have our very own Rag Tag fleet!"
"Huh?"
"Battlestar Galactica? Oh yeah, that's right. I'm the only one who
has been able to patch into the Vintage Sci-Fi channel."
Benjen just shook his head and looked down at the radar.
There was a large wave of disgruntled and undersupplied partygoers
coming straight for them.
Benjen and Mk.7 looked at each other
"Mk.7 to Blue Dwarf. We have a large wave of ships coming. If those
turrets are working, now would be a VERY good time!"
