The only warning we got was: "Surrender your cargo at once. Otherwise you will suffer a slow and painful death."The pirate battleship hailed the short threatening message and waited.
Commander Sarah stood up and rushed back to the control console. She was advised by the guardian vessels to stay on the present course while they executed some kind of tactical evasion maneuver.
Navigator Jake shouted that the battleship was preparing to fire and its three main cannons were pointed directly at us.
Abruptly, two of the guardian vessels split right and left, moving rapidly towards the pirate battleship in attack formation. The third guardian vessel remained just above us.
