The first energy bolt slammed into the hull.
BOOM!
Sparks sprayed across the cockpit as alarms blared. Owen was thrown from his co-pilot's seat, hitting the deck hard.
Gorvax was already at the controls. His robed form didn't flinch as the ship lurched. His hands moved across the interface, evading and calculating.
"Damned Pirates." His voice was cold as he ran a scan across their ship. "The Rift Scavengers. A Tier 5, two-star to three-star crew. They are known for choosing the 'dead' in 'dead or alive" bounties"
Owen pulled himself up.
Gorvax's featureless face turned toward him. "I'll handle the ship. You board them."
"Board them? In this space?" Owen said as he pointed towards the screen that showed they were still moving pretty fast through space, though they had dropped out of warp speed.
Gorvax tossed a small device; a tether anchor, no larger than a fist. "It will pull you across. Just don't miss."
