Engineer: "Sir! Shields are almost gone, we've got breaches on decks 6-10, warp drive is offline and half the crew is dead! We can't take much more of this!" Me: "Comm! Send a distress signal!" Comm Officer: "It won't matter, Sir." Me: "Why the hell not?" Comm Officer: "There aren't any ships in range, and you don't have enough credits in your account to boost the signal." Me: "What?!" Engineer: "That's right. You spent all your credits to get those two Efficient Saurians." Saurian #1: "It ain't easy being mauve." Saurian #2: "...ribbit..." Me: "There's got to be something we can do!" Comm Officer: "Well, we could recycle a bunch of that stuff in the cargo hold..." Me: "But...most of that stuff is rare! Do you know how many ships I had to destroy before I found those polaron dual beams?!" Engineer: "Sir!" Me: sigh "Fine. Do it." Comm Officer: "Okay, we have enough credits for the distress signal. Um, Sir? Do you want to upgrade your existing subspace communications plan to unlimited distress and data?" Me: /facepalm
