Melody: "Everybody calm down! We know it's been nine ship-days. Just listen so Solz can hear too. Thiuris? Rekhs?"
Thiuris: "We have misjumped. Malformed jump bubble field."
Rekhs: "We're not off-course. We're off schedule instead."

Rekhs: "No! We are not Corsairs! Shut up and listen to me."
Melody: "Rekhs!"
Rekhs: "Look. All I want from you is the exact date."
Solzuerezko: "Rekhs is right, Melody. We need to know if the misjump has caused us to fail the mission."

Rekhs: "...though it was 20 days in the hole, the freak misjump shortened n-space realtime was only 28 SECONDS. We were slingshot through jump and she died assuming-"
Solzuerezko: "Hey. That misjump was due to Corsair damage, not your Astrogation. Please stop drinking."
Thiuris: "Are we classified as 'drunk' yet?"

Asimikigir / Julian (Amdukan 0223) Hi Cp Cx Varg4

"Welcome to Asimikigir, Capital of the Asimikigir Confederation, Capital of the Julian Protectorate and the headquarters of the Menderes Corporation. I am Emissary Dzyr Darshiinugii, but you can call me Desire if Vuakedh or Vilani is not to your liking."
Rekhs: "She's Irilitok but I can see some Ovaghoun blood."
Melody: "Hush, Rekhs."
Solzuerezko: "Someone define 'chick magnet' please."
Thiuris: "Her Packname is in Vilani."
Melody: "That's not a Packname, Thiuris. She's what they call a 'panet'."

Epilogue: Though the Rroghllaezza Tour was a general success garnering invitations to several talk shows, commercial product endorsements, meetings with megacorporate and governmental representatives to further distribute the band’s music and the warning message, it did not rate a Grand Homecoming it could have.
Llaeghrra “Melody” Rroghllaezza and Solzuerezko became a pair and married on Asimikigir after some exposure to the fully integrated society there.
Rekhs Roghllaezza continued on to a solo act with further songwriting after counselling from the mission.
Thiuris the Droyne Engineer became the instant hit mascot to Droyne throughout the Julian Protectorate once the album and the warning message was released on a world.
The Roth Thokken warning data was repackaged under the banner of the Menderes Corporation and further spread throughout its offices across Charted Space. Though many did not heed the warning of The Dread, seeing it as some attention-grabbing marketing ploy, those that did take steps later became Strong Worlds after the passing of the Empress Wave.

On Asimikigir, the general opinion and attitude over the Suedzuk was relaxed through a deft use of public relations by the Menderes Corporation. This in turn softened hearts of the Irilitok, quieted the growling of the Urzaeng, and temporarily halted the hostilities between the Ovaghoun and the Suedzuk.

Though the band could have gone onward to worlds such as Ikon, Addara, Antares, and Tephany, Rroghllaezza Pack broke up though all kept in touch, trusting Menderes Corporation to spread the warning message.
Sophontologists swarmed Solzuerezko the Roth Thokken after his marriage honeymoon to Melody, seeking to know more about the forgotten Roth Thokken ethnicity. Though understanding of a Vargr sub-species born blind and born psionic was slow, it was the culture of Asimikigir that helped welcome the introduction of the long marginalized ethnicity.
