Eye protection. They keep things out but do nothing about things that come from the inside.
Don't you people ever use protective goggles for anything?

Finding any use for eye protection is not a simple task for those who got no eyes.
Maybe get out of the pod once in a while?

"Thanks for the carrier." Also, "Go **** yourself."  I wonder whether the Guristas would be content having you be their spokesperson, let alone smugly basking in the infamy that was the product of other people's planning and hard work. Probably they'd tell you that rattling a saber makes noise, but drawing one should be silent.
Having held a bladed weapon, I tell you that it isn't easy to rattle a saber. The scabbards are all lubricated very close-fits and it takes some kind of wizardry to actually make the sheathed blade move by more than triple decimals degrees.

But in ancient times, scabbards were not so finely engineered. My understanding of the origin of the phrase is that the rattle occurs when the sword is loosened prior to being drawn - ancient swords could stick after long periods in the scabbard, as with ancient firearms and holsters, so experienced warriors anticipating a fight would ensure the weapon was loose. This could be silent, or done with audible menace. Whilst many people use it nowadays to indicate bluff or posturing, the earliest meaning was this readiness for a fight. To rattle one's sabre meant "don't push your luck, matey, I'm armed." Obviously, then as now, a lot of that turned out to be all front and bluster, so the phrase evolved into its current meaning.
So the ancient equivalent of brandishing an unloaded gun or doing fancy knife tricks.

You mean the carrier you wrestled control from the incompetent Wiyrkomi Corporation? The carrier the Guristas carelessly lost to a mutiny and is now MIA in parts unknown, last seen attacking service stations in search for parts to repair itself? That particular carrier?
Yes, quite the victory for the Guristas that was.
Seriously? That happened? Oh, that's made my day. My eyes are still watering.
Guess that carrier is now *really* pirate.

You suggest that someone has the hots for her in her face and see her deny it with the vehemence of a Single Star Society nutcase.

I personally prefer the hexagon. Such an efficient way to save space.
