GSN Abo GSN Min and GSN Ation Abby shrugs. "You make your own bed by bringing together an AboMinAtion of forces," "Cause them to come together at your own peril" and "Divided we fall, together we kick ass" are common examples of Abby's ever quoting of amended verses from Austin's Powers. There are three other ships shadowing her protectively. GSA's Reap Whatcha and Sow I know Harold said only three ships. But this is Grayson. They have their rules. The shadowers are Armed Men. GSA, Grayson Space Armsmen, formed to pay homage by monies donated to the Armsmen Fund in respect to the many fallen with [H h]onor. .

Pirates are stupid and would hardly know their meanings. Alpha being the SS's first creation. Beta is meant to be a test bed (Sonja's at it again. Trust me, this time she got it too right). And Omega? Well, that'll be the end of any pirates stupid enough to tango. I think that makes the She Wolves Kill Plate Owners? Son, your mother says I have to hang you.
