If the patch hadn’t held I would have suffocated too.

I had less than twenty minutes of air in my tanks by the time I was done. I had to vent their remains before I started to patch the hole so I could seal it up and reestablish oxygen. “I watched them die, heard them screaming until the air was gone. Iron looked stunned as he stared mutely at her. I blew out a section of hull after they boarded that area of the station to keep them from reaching the living areas with my crew.” You know what I did to the Rally’s docking room? Think bigger. I barely made it into the docking doors before they were hooking up and blowing out the hatch I’d just come through, to gain entry. “I was outside in a space suit repairing hull dents we’d sustained from those same fragment hits we took when they attacked. “Uh, no, not in the way you’d think.” Dawn sighed. Iron watched her with that same frown on his face as the lift doors opened and he led her inside. We were in spin mode, enabling us to continuously fire at them.” We had four of our lasers go down after we took some fragment hits from a passing comet so we had a blind side that one of their ships slid through before we could turn the station. We have a kick-ass defense system but its slow getting parts out to us from Earth sometimes. “Yeah, well, nobody said pirates were bright. It would be suicide for them to attack it. They’ve attacked the Vonder a few times over the past year.”Ī frown marred Iron’s lips as he hit the button to call for the lift.

Unfortunately those crazy bastards rarely do the sane thing. It dissuades even the more aggressive pirates from attacking.” The Rally and the Star are a team, both ship and shuttle travel together. You need not worry about the Star being attacked. They like to stay far from the travel routes because they know the standard is to shoot at them upon sensor detection. I’m guessing we’re pretty far off the beaten paths of travel routes so there have to be a lot of pirates out this way.” “You said something about the life pod and I was thinking how stupid it would be to take one, if you want the truth. Iron stopped walking and stared down at her.
