Overheard On The Station (And Elsewhere)

Strelok M.O. [145.9] says, "That's it. I'm sick of all this 'Masterwork Cyalume  Saber' bullshit that's going on in the SS13 system right now. Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that. I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Space Japan for 2,400,000 Nuyen (that's about 20,000 credits) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid mauxite with my katana. Space Japanese smiths spend light-years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to space mankind. Katanas are thrice as sharp as Syndicate sabers and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a c-saber can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a drunk captain wearing full captain's armor with a simple tap. Ever wonder why the Syndicate never bothered conquering Space Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Space Samurai and their space katanas"
