Dear Mr. I-cannot-dodge-all-the-novas,

I hope you found being blasted to pieces as entertaining as I have. I took the liberty of enjoying every single impact between my torpedoes and your hull. I have also most of your prized possessions. For the premium price of ten millions, you can have the alcohol and other luxurious items you lost.

Can't wait till next explosion!
