"Even sneaking on board was risky. Now that plan won't work anymore. If the pirates don't hear back from these men, and they aren't accounted for, they'll know something happened. If they find us, we could be captured or killed. If they don't find us, they can hold everyone on this planet hostage to force us to comply. The way I see things, our -only- hope is to try to convince the pirates that nothing of consequence happened here, and that the three pirates they sent are just going back to the shuttle because of some stupid accident."She takes a deep breath and lets it out."If you have another idea, I'm open to it. But we have to decide quickly. I doubt the others will wait much longer before trying to contact their scouts."</blockquote>
