"So how did you get along with the Knight Sabers?" I heard the question. I parsed it. I couldn't quite stop a grimace from forming.
How _did_ I get along with the Knight Sabers?
"Like a house on fire," I said, deciding to abandon subtlety for the moment. "Smoke, people screaming, the occasional big explosion ... Largo happened and unhappened, the explosions got bigger, there was a little war of sorts ..."
Emi was wearing the sort of expression one might see on someone watching a trainwreck.
"Did I mention that, at the time, I was a Battlemover with a neutron bomb wired to the self-destruct system on board?"
When tact is required, use brute force. When force is required, use greater force.
When the greatest force is required, use your head. Surprise is everything. - The Book of Cataclysm
