Shade rises from the floor, and steps over to the acid pit where Frodo is residing. " Now look what you've done. You've driven away a perfectly good bargoer! I don't know what you have against me, dearie, but it's getting tiring."
WHAM. WHAM. WHAM.
Frodo's body sinks below the surface of the acid slowly. Shade smiles at him as searing acid floods into the mindless Hobbit's lungs, choking him.
That done, Shade spins around, and kills a Yoshimitsu with a WHAM of phase energies. Shade tastes the Yoshimitsu's blood, smiling a little.
"All you other Yoshimitsu clones, I can kill you just as easily as I killed that one. So quit trying to kill me, behave yourselves, and get yourselves a drink. That's on my tab, bartender - I'll be back in a minute or two."
Shade throws a large-denomination CredStick across the room to the bartender, and slips out of the bar.
The bargoers go back to their drinks, their games, or their endless little feuds, only to be distracted as the massive ship outside disengages from the station, powers up it's drives, and plunges into the gas giant. Below the roiling blue clouds, a faint white light blossoms as the ship's hull implodes and it's containment fields fail.
A few minutes later, Shade reenters the bar with a self-satisfied grin.
"What the...? How did you get off that ship?" someone asks. Shade turns the grin to bear on the speaker.
"You didn't think I was actually on that ship, did you? That's easy enough to do with a network console and a little skill."
At the bar, the Yoshimitsu clones have gotten rapidly drunk, and are singing something off-key in Japanese.
