The commander quickly went to his locker, wasting no time to get armed properly. He grabbed his helmet, strapping it on. It was a well known fact that when he put his helmet on, he was ready to get serious. He slid his helmet on, the airlocks snapping into place to provide a tight seal to protect him as well as keep oxygen from leaking out.
"Espers. They've boarded already and they're trying to hijack." Nathan said, his voice altered and almost robotic from the inside of the helmet. He reloaded his rifle and then turned his head to Sukaina, his back facing her. "If they get anywhere near here, do not hesitate to engage. Nathan added. He knew that he didn't need to say it, but he was in combat mode.
Nathan then ran off, firing with his crew of grunts. The Espers seemed to be overwhelmed by the Pathfinder's forces. They were droppong like flies left and right, Nathan and the crew handling themselves quite well. However, another blast rocked the ship. The preexisting boarding pods were rigged to explode. Nathan realized this and darted to the intercom. The Pathfinder was going to blow soon.
"Everyone launch escape pods! I repeat! Board launch pods!" Nathan yelled on the intercom. The Espers didn't understand English, thankfully, so they didn't know what was going on. And this order had never been ordered by Nathan. He had a plan. "All crew! Stay aboard. We're kicking them out." Nathan added. Launching empty escape pods would fool the Espers and divert their focus.
