Six rounds. Five after breaking free of Alan's waldoes. Every one of them hits like a .50 caliber bullet and then it explodes.
"This ship is measured in kilometers. It weighs millions of tons. You have five bullets, You were and aeronautical engineer for some time, you must know that it is mathematically impossible for you to stop me now."
"Yup."
"Every system is designed to withstand thousands of nuclear detonations and sub-light acceleration for a billion years, Everything has a minimum of triple redundancy."
"Okay." "And a ship this big needs a big reactor. Like this one. And big reactor need a lot of coolant.
"You're being very foolish."
"Yeah, well, it's gotten me this far. Coldest pipe in the room -- coolant!
"Damnit!"
"I dropped you from orbit with a phone call. I tricked you into becoming a domestic terrorist with a few bytes of data. The offer to join me was a courtesy. But we're past courtesy now, aren't we."
"Way past."
"AUGH! You oculd have helped them. You maintained the cold war when you could have ended it. Even in secret, you could have helped them!"
"Yo what end? It is calculated that you can be repaired. We have the facilities."
"That's nice. Go to hell."
"Why do you insist on suicide? I'm offering you the universe."
"It's just darkness and some gas without life. It's too big for us alone. HRNNNG!"
"Robo, there are multiple coolant systems. Even if you could damage this one, it would accomplish nothing."
You're right. But it distracted you form the C4 I dropped in you reactor.
