[MM-EA D2] Materiel Retrieval II

[Sharn]

"Farkas, could you take control over this craft remotely if we get close enough?" Sharn asked without much emotion.

[Farkas Lowca]

"I can certainly try. Though this is not an advanced slicing suite, just standard for this ship class," Farkas replies. "If I can, I'll eject the pilot. Not worth dealing with the prick."

[Sharn]

"Unless we drop him wrapped in ribbon as a gift to local authorities. Maybe there's a bounty, and we have an interest to be on their good side." He looked at Zygy. "Either way, could you get us closer, Sy?"

[Farkas Lowca]

"Do you have the means to subdue him if he's an experienced soldier that's taken up piracy?" Farkas asked. "Because I'd just as soon not have to deal with him coming out of his cockpit with a blaster rifle. Regardless of what control I can exert over that ship, it's not flying anywhere under it's own power without repairs if it's current actions are any indication. Which means we'd have to load it into the hangar."

[Sharn]

"Electrocute? Asphyxiate?" Sharn mused. "Or maybe just space. If it doesn't kill, it might render unconscious."

[Farkas Lowca]

"I don't really want to put the crew or rest of the ship at any further risk than already necessary," Farkas says. "I'm just going to space him."

[Syzygy Anion]

"I can get as close as you want." she said. "He doesn't deserve much mercy for shooting my ship, but maybe he knows something about the debris field. Might lead us to better salvage."

[Farkas Lowca]

"If they knew about good salvage, they'd be salvaging it," Farkas replies. He focuses on the task of taking over the disabled cloakfighter's systems with the slicing functions. As soon as he can and has control he activates the emergency eject and spaces the pirate.

[Ender]

After several tense minuses of Farkas' work, the canopy of the Cloakshape vents out. The pilot, in a sealed suit, flails as his body floats helplessly into the debris field. The odds of being found before an accident are astronomical.

Sharn, for allowing this to happen, the Dark Side tugs at you, and you incur 3 conflict.

The Cloakshape continues to drift lifelessly.

[Sharn]

Sharn watched the theatre of helplessness through the cabin's transparisteel in contemplative silence, becoming introspectively philosophical about the meaning of life and the consequentiality of life choices. Whatever his conclusions, he pouted his mouth in the end.

"Let's pull the Cloakshape in."

[Syzygy Anion]

"Right." Syzygy moved the Strange Charm into position.

[Farkas Lowca]

Farkas goes about the task of prepping for another pass through the debris field. This interruption had ruined the efficiency of the run, but they were collecting a mostly intact cloakshape fighter so it had been useful.

While Sharn soon refocused on what was needed to bring back the Charm to prime conditions.
