edit- to attacking pirates: Attention roguish invaders! Before you begin your practiced savaging of what must appear to be another ordinary starship, be aware that this is not some bulk freighter, but a place of learning and culture!

edit- I'm all for beating swords into plowshares, but I'd rather do it over someone's skull.
