The actual name of his species was so extravagant to pronounce that others simply referred to them as Reps, as short for Reptilian. "Suppose someone is able to predict our course and leak it to the local pirates of the region?" "No one is stupid enough to cross me." The Captain scoffed confidently. "Even the local riff-raff pirates are aware that the Caledonia is not exactly a typical freighter of its class." He slowly shook his head. "We will be ready and alert, at any rate. And this route will ensure we make delivery ahead of time, and can move on to the next." "I understand, Captain. And see your thinking." The Rep responded in his deep guttural voice, though silently, He regarded his Captain of being a little too reckless in his pursuit of wealth. His thinking was better to take a little longer arriving than take the risk of damage to the ship and cargo, and perhaps not even arriving at all. He knew this human Captain well, but would still continue to voice his thoughts of concern.
