Either that, or there was a polite exchange of messages afterward, which summed up as:

"You call that a media ship?! Do you have a license for the weapons on that?"
"Yes, we do. (see attachment listing Swordbreaker's armaments, and licenses for each, including special Corporate Sector documentation)"
"Oh, $#!+!"

Remember, Swordbreaker has a fold drive, as mentioned in A Night to Remember. Consider what kind of power requirements that implies, and what a ship can do with that when it isn't bending space-time into a pretzel for the sake of a news story.

Yeah, somebody's gonna go *boom*.
