"So over there is the Orion's Belt, apparently it used to have more stars based on some books, but now it's missing a few. Then here is another constellation, I forgot what it was called",

"That's the Aquila constellation captain",

"Oh right, Aquila", Val and Patches were just sitting in the front deck with two of the invading pirates sitting between them, there was a noticeable feeling of fear simply emanating from the two pirates. From the area around them you can see slashed corpses and absolutely destroyed bodies courtesy of Patches. It appears that some more pirates came in and thought in larger numbers they could take these two on, well they were wrong and the last two decided to give up. After awhile, Ana called over the communications.

"All dead? Power to the guns...? Oh right, the guns...", he turned to Patches who was still speaking to the pirates.

"Now see, over there is the Aquarius",

"Hey Patches, let's power up the guns",

"Oh? We going to blast that ugly pirate ship to smithereens? Smithereens, that's what you people say right?",

"Yeah, but I prefer 'to the next Monday'", the two got up and just left the two pirates there, fear-struck, talking as they left.

"Next Monday? How does that work? Why Monday?", Patches hit the switch to open the door as Val stepped through.

"I thought it'd be like hell, you know, no one likes Mondays",

"Oh yeah, I totally get that. Now, every Monday that damn queen spider would always...", and thus the door shut behind them.

"These people are monsters..."

"Jake, I'm... Absolutely convinced that... One of them really is a... Monster..."

Anastasia kicked the metal door open, stomping on the bridge, her metal legs clanking on the floor. No pirates were left, all slaughtered. She laughed, none of them stood a chance. The blood was splattered all over the floor. She walked briskly to the weapons chair.

"This is how you do it. Watch."

She sat down in the chair and powered up the weapons. The hum soothed her, and she focused. One shot, two shot, three shot. She unloaded laser after laser after laser on the ship and poke holes in it like cheese, watching it start to twist in an odd way. The ship lit up, and exploded, the scraps and dead bodies floating in space. She laughed again. The next order of business was to gather up the main part of the crew and talk to them again.

Ana paced back and forth in front of the crew. Her face had a somber tone, after the discoveries they made on the ship.

"We have a few casualties on our ship now. We found some of our crew, mostly engineers and doctors, dead. Their organs were strung up around the ship, paraded like decorations. We have two choices as of now.We can continue on with our previous objectives, making contact with the supposed last bustling city on earth, or we can head back to Eden, rest, and recruit some more crew. It's a sad day today, but we can make it better. I'll let you decide captain. Would you prefer to immediately relax or would you like to finish our objective and then relax. The rest of you can speak up as well. We have all the time to decide."
