Granted it's the wrong ship to board, but you only know that because you've read the book/listened to the soundtrack etc, but what you've done is acknowledged the fourth wall.

Ha ha! Brilliant.
My second thought was "oh, new dent", figuring it to be the debris cloud from an impact. Of course, my first was "better this than a jet of blue flame, like gas shot from a gun". And having passed it around the office, discovered just how poorly read my coworkers are.
What did they think of it?
