The pirates on Erzurum’s surface were in it now, having heard Alexis’ broadcast to the merchantmen, and calling for Blackbourne to explain himself. As well, those merchant spacers still on the surface with their ships’ boats, some feeling abandoned by the ship which attempted to flee, wondering at its state and if they were to be abandoned on the pirate planet, and others wishing nothing more than to get to their own ships so as to steer clear of further conflict.

Kannstadt had gained control of Fang’s quarterdeck, if not the entirety of the ship, and put a man on the signals console who, for some inexplicable reason, added German to the babble of voices. What he hoped to accomplish by that, with so many of the ships in orbit speaking English or, in the case of most of the merchants, the Barbary patois, Alexis couldn’t imagine.

Nevertheless, Schwalheimer was able to pass along enough of Kannstadt’s status for Alexis to understand that he might have the quarterdeck, but did not yet have control of Fang’s guns and would be no help against the oncoming Claw.
