Part 443: King of the Pirates - Turn 13

King of the Pirates: Tactical Update 13

“Just put it down already,” Idris growled, leveling his Large Laser at the crippled husk of the enemy Shadow Hawk. His skillful shot decapitated the machine at a blow, putting the doubtless wounded pilot out of his or her misery. The Shadow Hawk took a jerking half-step before falling, but even watching it Idris couldn’t tell whether it’d landed on its front, back, or side.

“How is it,” the hateful voice of Susie Ryan grated away at his speakers like prisoner with a file, “that common pirates have more courtesy than the soldiers of the vaunted DCMS? You should always allow a lady to finish a kill she’s earned.”

“When I encounter a lady on this soggy ball of excrement,” Idris replied, “I shall remember that.”
