Mistaken at Levski

I'm just a tourist in a brand-new Stinger

Esperia badge on the hull like bling

Blue nebula swirls, red tint in the ring

Why's Levski comms shouting "Hostile wing?"

Through the Glatsim dust, I'm humming a tune

Delamar ahead like a grumpy moon

I ping the port, requesting a pad

P-guard replies, "The Vandal looks mad"

"Hold fire!" I cry, I'm not here to raid

This heavy fighter's replica made

Human hotkeys, cupholder too

Only thing alien is my hairdo

I'm mistaken for Vandal near Levski

Dodging side-eyes, scanners won't let me be

It's an Esperia clone, I swear, see

Please don't vaporize my warranty

I'm just sightseeing in Nyx tonight

Not a warlord, just a tourist with fright

If you must shoot, aim for my pride

My hull's on finance, can't afford the ride

Docking queue stalls, alarms go "Whoop-whoop"

Meaners toss wrenches, vendors duck soup

A grizzled tech yells, "That's Vandal steel!"

I shout, "It's comfy, it even has seals"

Check the transponder, serial's legit

Esperia tag, no blood on it

They zoom the cams, my paint job's rad

Okay, it's red, that might look bad

PA captain calls, "Prove you're human, sing!"

So I belt the chorus over outband ping

I like taxes (sometimes), I burn my toast

I wave at cops, and I compose

I'm mistaken for Vandal near Levski

Blue Rock Bazaar thinks I'm enemy

It's a showroom clone, not heresy

Please don't void my warranty

Just stamping my Nyx Visa tonight

Buying dumplings, minding my flight

If you must tag, tag my ego, please

Not the landing fees

Finally cleared, I'm touching down

Levski claps, or maybe a frown

Either way, lesson learned from the fray

Maybe don't paint it Vandal gray
