"No, seriously Myk, we're evacuating everything that's mobile for the time being." Jeph's face on the monitor looked grave, and definitely female. "Mostly just to try to minimize the potential disruption."

"Awwww FUCK!"
"And yes, from what I'm being told here, we're going to have to put an article in that he's no longer allowed to be anywhere near Jupiter.

Jeph looked over, and somehow managed to pale as someone just out of microphone range said something. "Oh you can't be... fucking fuckitty fuck fuck." she turned back to the camera. "Word just got to us that he's in some sort of firefight with one of the independent freighter captains. I think he's definitely going to get the banhammer after this, regardless." More voices, and she nodded to someone off camera. "OK, we've got to go here. The last of the Blue Midgets is away, we're the last ones here now, and Starbug 1 is hot on the pad already. I'll contact the fleet once we're clear."
