"Shift all available power from shields and engines into weapons," I commanded. "Give em hell, fellas!"

I activated the front cannon again, and the lasers cut into the Dosch ship over and over.

-9,991 hp. Armor reduced 10% (100% local reduction).

-2200 hp. -2200 hp. -2200 hp. -2200 hp. -2200 hp.

The comms window sprang to life again. Surresh looked worried, as much as a lizard-person could look worried. Other Dosch ran around his bridge putting out fires.

"Ah. Surresh, isn't it?" I asked.

"Please stop. We'll give you whatever you want. We have cu's. We have drugs and weapons. Whatever you want, take it. Just call off your attack," the Dosch pirate shouted.

"I don't know. Have you ever called off an attack once you had won? I'll call off my boys, but if you double cross me...."

"I'll give you whatever you want. Just don't destroy my ship."

"Ceasefire, boys. We've won this one," I said to Schmidt and Norax.

I turned my attention back to Surresh. He did have a few things I wouldn't mind taking. Perhaps, I was starting to think too much like a merc. It had only been a few hours, but the Corps felt so far away.

"Prepare to be boarded."

The comms screen disappeared, and I eased my mind out of the ship's controls. Cheers crowded out the alarms.

“Alright people. Settle down. We’ve got a ton of work to do and very little time to do it. Norax, you’re with me. Everyone else, get to repairing the ship. We’ve got some farmers to save.”

The Dosch were exceptionally welcoming when they accepted us onto their ship.

“Captain,” Surresh said. “Welcome aboard my ship. I have to admit, that last stunt you pulled was quite reckless.”

“It worked didn’t it?” I said.

Norax growled at a nearby Dosch, and it scurried away.

“If your timing wass only sslightly off, you would have taken my plassma cannon to the face.” Surresh ignored my question. “But alassss, to the victor go the sssspoilsss. What can I help you with, Captain?”

“We won’t take much. Half your energy cells and a quarter of your personal c.u.’s.”

“Half?” Surresh sounded like he was going to protest. “That will leave us with barely enough….”

“IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT IT LEAVES YOU WITH!” I yelled and slammed my fist against the closest wall for effect.

The remaining lizard people scurried away in fear.

“You would have left us for dead or worse if the tables were turned. Half your cells and a fourth of your credits.”

“Oh! And a couple Dosch targeting sensors,” Norax added eagerly.

Surresh rolled his eyes. “Anything else?”

“Yeah,” I said. “Access to your crafting schematics.”

“Ssschematicss? Why would you want thosssse? You aren’t a trading sship. I can tell that. You have military written all over you.”

“Those are the terms.”

“Very well. You sssshall have it.”

After a short wait, Norax started transferring the energy cells over to our ship, and I accepted the credit transfer. I wasn’t actually interested in how many credits he transferred to me. I was more interested in making him leave that particular space lane. I was interested to see what schematics he and his crew had.
