Another one . . .

An insufferable idjit in a vac suit is ranting about shooting (with a handgun) anyone who tries to help a disabled ship full of his enemies. The almost-equally-disabled 'Rocinante' is attempting to tow said ship, by intermittently firing her spinal mount rail gun to provide thrust . . .

Idjit: "I will shoot down *any* attempt to . . ."

A railgun shot abruptly streaks into the distance and Idjit's incon vanishes from everyone's HUD.

Rocinante Pilot, in a drawling voice: "Sorry. That was me. But that guy was pissin' me off and I had the shot. Am I in trouble?"
