Good evening.
You, miss, have something that belongs to us. We'd like it back, you know.
Given your behaviour, we aren't even going to bother with compromises. You'll hit me with a story of how you obtained that ship. It better be a good one, if you don't want to go sightseeing on Gaia. Afterwards, you'll get back here and kindly hand the ship over. You have 72 hours to do that.
Clarke out.

Izay Vyu.... Vyu... "Vitayu"... Izay... With all due respect, miss, this hardly sounds like a cretian name.
There were only as many ships available to you, eh? Right. You aren't one of us. You aren't a member of the Association. You aren't a soldier of the Brotherhood. You aren't an Alliance pilot. Sorry, miss, but that is the full and complete list of people with legit access to Claymore gunships. You'll do well sharing that sad backstory of yours. Or the part related to getting your hands on the ship, at least.
Oh, right, about the last thing... Heh, as much as I appreciate it, it's not going to work here.

Well... I'm truly honoured by your offer, but I haven't really seen any of that body you are offering. Sorry, miss, but no deal.
Anyway. You claim to be a born Cretan, right? You know, miss, someone who is at least half Coalitioner cannot ever hope to be called a Cretan in any sense of the word. Or maybe you're calling yourself that way just because you were born there? A Coalitioner living on Crete. What else? Maybe your mother married a Corsair on top of all this, eh? Yeah. I'm totally buying it.
Plot holes, miss, lots of plot holes. You better clear them up. The clock is ticking.
Also. Care to share the name of that Junker? We'd appreciate it.

Miss, I am fairly sure I said that this approach is a no-go. If this was all I were looking for I'd simply go to Barrier Gate and get myself all the ample curves I want. You can stop it. Besides, is that ship really worth it? What do you need it so much for? There is a bloody pile of other ships that are cheaper, easier to maintain and are much more universal. And draw much less attention to you. Why ours?

Matthias sighs heavily and remains silent for a few seconds.
Fine. I'll give you a chance. You'll be able to keep the ship. Not for free, obviously. You'll have to work for it. I'm not going to give you any work just yet, though.
I need to know your stance towards authorities and corporations of all five houses first. It is, obviously, a dirty job, and I need to know against who you'd be willing to pick it. Once I know that, me and the rest of Sentinels will sure work something out for you.
Should you not be willing to work for the ship, however... Well, the 72 hours will still be in place.
