"Well aware," I chuckled in reply to Midnight's comment.

 

"Now. How about we just take everything we need and then blow this ship up? No point in keeping it around," I continued, looking around.

However, knowing what happened here, I didn't ever want to see this thing again. 

 

"Of course," said Jun Li. "I will think of a way to be able to do it without alerting the Saalistaja."

 

"Why don't we use one of the other ships… what are they called? The uglies?" I asked with a slight smirk. The atmosphere was getting a bit tense for all of us, and a bit of joking around was just what we needed.

 

"Uglies?" asked Midnight and Jun Li at the same time.

 

"The Uugazts," exclaimed Jun Li before he burst out laughing. "Well, to be fair, they really are ugly."
