Averin An'Arach
Character
Using the cover of the nebula Averin expertly stalks the transport ship. It was a luxury liner for taking people with far too much money around the galaxy to see unique and interesting celestial sites. Such as the previously mentioned Nebula which looked like a rose unfurling in the middle of space. This particular rose had radiation instead of thorns though that radiation was hiding the Lotus, which would be a thorn in its own right to the cruise liner.
Things had been going well for Averin and Lola. They'd smuggled some guns to Falleen and made a tidy profit. With that money, they'd hired on a crew of respectable, for pirates, scallywags. The kind of people you could trust so long as you paid them and who couldn't be bought by others until you started to miss payments. Which is the best you could really ask for, the respect to wait until you couldn't pay them regularly before they sold you out, that was loyalty!
"Deploy the boarding ramp."
Averin calls grinning at Lola as he prepares to burst from the nebula right into the cruiser's path. The batter ram boarding ramp extends from the front of the ship and he diverts power from the sail generators to the shields. Then he slams forward on the impulse engines rocketing out of the nebula. Just as he predicted the cruise ship was right there and there is a spark, a whine, a crack, and then the boarding ramp pierces right through the side of the civilian ship piercing its shields.
The cruiser had some auto turrets that begin pouring on fire but the Lotus's shields would hold up for a few minutes. Long enough for them to get aboard and turn off the turrets. "Alright, no casualties if you can help it men. We don't need to be known as butchers, that just gets the law motivated to come after us." He calls as he puts his helmet on, he looked rather dashing all kitted up in his new armor his families weapons on his belt. "Ready love?" He asks Lola as they head down to the boarding ramp airlock, only those in space suits would be coming with.
