"It gets better," he assures her cheerfully. "See, it would all have fallen apart eventually... except that Admiral Oser, the commander of the Oseran Mercenaries to which the Ariel had previously belonged, turned out to be an even bigger ass than Auson. When we captured that mining installation, we captured an Oseran ship called the Triumph with it, commanded by one Ky Tung. Amazing man. He escaped us and bolted back to Oser. According to the terms of Tung's contract, Oser owed him a new ship if his previous one was captured. Oser did not deliver on this promise. Tung was sufficiently offended that he turned around, came back, and offered to join the Dendarii. I happily accepted. And with a little more convincing and some clever strategy and a nice big helping of luck, we won the war. At which point Oser and the rest of his fleet also offered to join the Dendarii."
