For those less familiar with the New Testament, "Well done, good and faithful servant" is from the Parable of the Talents, in the Gospel of Matthew ch 25. The master goes on a trip, leaving his servants with varying amounts of resources; upon his return, he requests an accounting of how they managed the resources -- or not. The verse is often also used as a version of how Jesus will welcome a faithful person after death.

It's not about federal airplanes being swapped for bugged outdated bribery trinkets.
