"Jithan! Watch out!"

I screamed out, clutching onto the catwalk in front of me. Across the way, I watched as the black-armored Viliti effortlessly ducked and weaved under our Falashai guard's swings. The pirate measured the few swings he got in. Forcing them to do little but clanging off her hard exoskeleton.

His suit was sparking as she had broken several internal systems from a few well-placed jabs. The pirate played with him, not taking the fight seriously enough to end the poor man.

Finally, the Viliti was done. Dodging down, she clipped the back of his knee with her hand. Yanking him off his balance before drawing a handgun. A thundering metallic clang nearly shattered my ears as smoke exited the barrel, then another two. A kinetic gun, nullifying my friend's armor to nothing but paper.

Empty shells fell and clattered to the floor alongside my friend's lifeless body. The pirate seemed amused, looking the dead man over before holstering its canon.

I tried keeping low, but its head turned to me instantly. The white skull on its helmet sent shivers down my spine as the Viliti stepped toward me. As I shuddered, it moved as if chuckling.

"W-Wait..! Please! I won't say a word! I'm just a mechanic..!"

Its black hand reached down, taking a small net from its belt. Then a large vial. Tossing the net at me, the weighted balls on their sides held me down before slowly gliding towards one another. Entrapping me before the pirate picked me up.

Vertigo gripped me for a moment as I rose in the air. The catwalk soon faded from view as my eyes turned to the pirate's massive helmet. Its head tilted as if I was curious, like a jewel being inspected at a shop.

Its attention turned to the side as if expecting someone to come and save me. Foolishly I spoke out, hoping I could garner a more favorable chance than my friend.

"W-We're alone out here..! We... We were just miners..! I'm sorry if this was, uhh... Pirate space..."

My voice was frail, shaking in my throat before the words came out. A shudder fluttered through me when the pirate looked back. Reaching up, it pressed a button on its helmet.

Within a moment, its visor parted and shifted away. Revealing the sadistic grin matched with red eyes the Viliti had. Its buck teeth showed while it looked me over. I was frozen in place, yet there was little I could do to bargain with a pirate.

When it spoke, its translator had a strange accent. Not the usual robotic/normal translation one could expect. It was more refined, sounding like an old-time southern woman.

"I won't kill you darlin'... 'Long as you make me a good bit of credits."

The relief of her first few words drained away as quickly as they formed as I realized the fate that awaited me. Seeing my expression shift, she spoke again while rolling her eyes.

"You look healthy enough... I'm sure somebody will buy you."

I wanted to yell out, to scream, but the pirate stuffed me down into the glass vial. Closing her mask again to hide her giddy grin...

Lil show here of her 'welcoming' someone to her ship~
