William was behind a desk just about the open a pack of cigarettes to celebrate, when he heard the pirate. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. This pod seems to be busted, but you two are going to let me enter another one without any hassle... or the pretty one here receives some hot lead."
He activated his helmet's HUD, thought it seemed that some interference was still present. It must be because they cracked the walls, but if anything it disn't help. He turned back and looked at the scene from behind the furniture. It seemed like the hostile did not notice him yet. He turned his helmet's comms on and whispered. "Ask him if he would let the girl go if we don't kill him. Get me some time! When people keep hostages they might start pointing the guns elsewhere when they are irritated. If I shoot his head, he will pull the trigger, and then we are done for too! " With that said he once again screwed the suppressor on the pistol and sat behind the desk, looking at the action from cover.
