* In an AlastairReynolds story, an epic SternChase is underway between two vessels that routinely approach the speed of light. The second in command of the pursuing vessel is dying, and requests that her body be fired forward the next time the ship is at top speed. She jokes, grimly, that it's an old pirate custom; [[IncrediblyLamePun Burial at Cee.]] She even points out that the joke only makes sense in a language that hasn't been spoken in Millennia. It's ''still'' an incredibly touching moment.
