Across the Expanse: Day 15
*Start transmission*
Havardy: You in position?
Lee: Ready whenever you are.
Havardy: Good luck Jim.
Lee: Same to you.
Havardy: Launching missile.
*Explosion*
Lee: I’ve made it into the frigate, moving into the engine room.
Havardy: Right, I’ll try and keep them distracted.
Lee: Acknowledged. Proceeding to target.
Lee: At the engine room, what’s your status?
Havardy: I’m fine, get that engine shut down.
Lee: Working on it.
*Whirring*
*Slicing*
*Small explosion*
*Whirring dies down*
Lee: Done. I’m gonna see if I swing around to the bridge through the ventilation system.
Havardy: Right… shit.
Lee: The other Corsairs have shown up?
Havardy: Yeah, it’s just one though. I can handle it. But hurry it up will you?
Lee: Right- ack!
Havardy: Lee?
Lee: I pulled my shoulder getting into a vent.
Havardy: Is it bearable?
Lee: Yeah. Hurts like a bitch but I’ll manage… I have no choice.
Havardy: What’s your position?
Lee: I’m above the bridge right now. Looks like there’s only one guy on the bridge. How are you doing?
Havardy: Fine, I can’t get a bead on the other Corsair because the frigate keeps firing at me but they haven’t managed to hit me yet and- fuck.
Lee: The other one showed up?
Havardy: Yeah, hurry your ass. Now.
Lee: Roger.
*Banging noise*
Pirate: Wh- hrk!
*Scuffle*
Lee: Pirate’s down, working on that distress beacon now and… there, it's activated. I’ve also sent a message to Helos just in case. Are you- whoa.
Havardy: What?
Lee: I’m seeing you on the display. I know you said you were good but I didn’t think you were that good.
Havardy: I appreciate the faith, but mind speeding it up there? Get the data and go!
Lee: Right, starting the download right now.
Pirate Captain: Freeze.
Lee: ...shit.
Havardy: Lee?
Pirate Captain: Turn around, slowly.
Lee: …
Havardy: Jim? Answer me man.
Pirate Captain: I’m assuming that person in the Corsair is the other officer?
Lee: …
Pirate Captain: You wouldn’t happen to be the one that killed one of my men would you? Because if you were then I sh-
*Scuffle* *Grunting*
*Multiple Gunshots*
Havardy: Jim?! Come on m-
Lee: I’m… fine, extracting the data right now.
Havardy: Roger, get to the Expanse right now, I’ll distract them for a moment longer and meet you back at the bunker alright?
Lee: Yeah… that sounds fine... making my way out, see you at there.
Havardy: Roger.
Havardy: Alright I’ve shaken them, making my way back to the bunker now.
Lee: …
Havardy: Jim? Did you read me?
Lee: …
*End transmission*
Havardy: Jim! Was you transmitter damaged? You di- oh god.
Lee: It’s… not as bad as it looks. I managed to patch it up a before I passed out.
Havardy: The hell it isn’t! You got shot in the stomach man!
Lee: Just… gotta hold on unt-ack- until help arrives.
Havardy: Dammit man… why weren’t you more careful?
Lee: Your criticism is noted, now if you don’t mind... I think you could do a better job of sealing this up.
Havardy: Yeah… yeah, just relax alright? I’ll take care of this.
