              • After the battle the Rock ship hails you. Their captain simply says, "Thanks." and jumps away. That's pretty gracious of them, considering the Rockmen's reputation.

   • After the Slugs board the ship, you are surprised to see the Rock ship spring to life and decimate the other ship. They message you, "Pathetic. You are either a coward or an ally of the Slugs. Either way, you don't deserve to live."
     • Fight a Rock ship (default rewards).
