"Ze terms are clear," the French voice replied. "You have already agreed to the ten million, half now and half at the end. What I must ensure you understand is the gravity of this trip."
In the background, an Australian voice was heard. "Doe, we've got those asteroids on port, like we thought."
"All right gentlemen," a voice growled. "Man the turrets! Last one alive, lock the door! Pa-POW!"
"...Merde..." The French voice sighed. "As I was saying, there will be pirates, black holes, dangers you've never even heard of. Invisible spacebound bodiless creatures who could swallow both of our ships in a blink. Tyrants with fleets of navy bloodfighters harboring dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty. You may lose all of your men. You may lose your own life. There are no guarantees where we are going. If you have any reason to back out, take it now and never look back. Many of our clients should have heeded this warning."
