| Our people at a nearby station are in need of more firepower. They are going to have to subdue unruly refugees from destroyed colonies and crews from recently destroyed ships.
I know it sounds ludicrous. The thing is, when you have near-death experiences of that kind, you may come to the realization that life is fickle, short and dangerous, and that everything you took for granted may be taken from you in the blink of an eye. It tends to upset people, make them aggressive and reckless.
That is, if they're mortal. You being a capsuleer, you'll just have to take my word for it. I'm sure death has a great impact on your sense of the world, but thus far in my experience, it doesn't make you half as crazy as near-death, and at least your type has the sense to take it outside when you feel the need to blow something up.
Incidentally, there are always claims - by silly local news outlets nobody listens to - that representatives of our corporation may not always react immediately when they hear that people are floating out there in escape pods, waiting in to be rescued. Do not let those claims bother you. Those same people are sitting in the midst of a deadly capsuleer battlefield and are in dire need of learning the blessed virtue of patience.
