Help came swiftly and unexpected. After three powerful explosions, one of the pirate ships was disabled and floated adrift. The other ten pirate vessels quickly fled in different directions and vanished.A voice over the intercom said, "We were tracking this here pirate scum and intercepted a transmission about you and your precious cargo. The encoded message requested all the pirates in this sector to converge on your coordinates.
"One official guardian squad is on its way here from Luna Base. They will escort your vessel safely out of this sector. I urge you to stay here with us until they arrive."
The voice identified herself as commander Isabel Linsky, a licensed bounty hunter traveling on a combat class vessel named Javelin.
After thanking Isabel Linsky, we stayed put and watched as the bounty hunter secured the disabled pirate vessel and placed the two surviving pirates in the brig on board Javelin.
The bounty hunter told us that the pirate vessel would be destroyed after we left and were far enough away from the blast area. She said this would keep the pirates from recovering their lost ship.
