Well, I didn't say I didn't enjoy it. I've rigged some machines into bein' good for other work. Turn a loader into a team transport. That kinda thing. Sometimes you pick up somethin' you have to an' it becomes yours.

Well, I'll show ya somethin' from a little further than the moon. My homeworld's got a metal alloy that can only be formed there. Responds to vibrations in such a way we can guide it after targets. Hunters use it all the time, but I'm rigged up to make it go exactly where I want it to go so long as I talk to it right.

[He holds it out towards Siebren to see.]

'Scalled 'Yaka' in Centauri. My whole arrow shell is coated in it. [And he lets it go midair with a wavering whistle, letting it float loosely in the air with a red trail.]
