As the pirates race towards the [i]Xeon lll[/i] several of the Corporatist's ships were victims of the swarm of nanobots that manage to snatch the slower ones near the back. Ceres did in fact expect that, but manages to keep going, trying to get away from the battlefield as possible. Suddenly, he hears a radio message frequency coming from the mech Heat Jack. 

"Fool..." he says to him silently in his head, "I got a bigger and better catch to deal with."

He ignores the frequency and continues racing while blasting at nanobots that managed to get close. Then another radio message frequency was detected, this one being from James Rockefeller. Ceres was indeed surprised when he heard that he was in the battlefield. The Rockefeller Corporation was indeed famous and extremely wealthy, even more so then his pirate corporation. Hearing him here was the last thing he suspected. Yet he growls and also ignores that message.

"Rockefeller..." he says to himself with teeth gritting brightly, "I'll deal with you later myself... Right after I take down your ship!"

The mecha strike force continues to approach the ship, only making a swift right turn towards the rear of the ship. The engines were indeed close. Once the Corporatists take out the engines, the [i]Xeon lll[/i] will be helpless as they will storm the ship and show no mercy to the crew on board, plundering any valuable credits they can get their hands on. Then their flagship will arrive and finish it off, destroying the one obstacle that stands in their way for unspeakable wealth.
