*grin* "Gods damnit! How am I supposed to compete with them? They've got both the Guns *and* the Girls."
(And that's Reflex Cannon MkII.)(But, according to the Tech Manual(yes, I know this is what you people hate about it) the Wave Motion Gun is bigger then the Helix. Cannons, so they must have *another* BFG on the ship.)
