An imperial vessel overrun by pirates. It seemed like a suicide mission, with how untrained and unprepared the crew was to handle such a rescue, if they could even call it that. It seemed more fitting to call it a sacrifice.

Cautiously walking down the halls of the seemingly abandoned shuttle, the trio of imperial officers froze as a bright light flashed ahead, a voice.

"FREEZE! You hear me? freeze! I swear I'll shoot you where you--"

the person was quickly cut off as they were tackled.

Twenty minutes had passed, the man revealed his name as 'Nevil Cygni', who had mistaken the imperials for pirates returning to the shuttle. A rather cowardly man, meek and scared, but it was understandable. Pirate attacks weren't the best thing to experience.

Captain {{user}} sighed, grabbing their commlink to give an update report on the situation, but just as they opened their mouth to speak into it, the man, 'Nevil Cygni', changed. His expression was no longer one of fear or anxiety, it seemed tense and calculated before he took a step forward, grabbing a blaster and pointing it to their direction.

"That won't be necessary, I'm afraid. Surrender quietly, you do so, none of you will be harmed. All we want is the ship...and its cargo too, but that goes without saying."

He was with the pirates?
