Chereads / The Rimworld Catastrophe / Chapter 3 - Space Pirates

Chapter 3 - Space Pirates

On their way to the signal, Alpha Team decided to play a game of poker for fun. Although Captain John would normally take everyone's money, he decided that it would be best to watch Lucy, his sister and also second in command, wipe the floor with them this time. He notes that James, the engineer of the ship, pulled out an extra card without anyone else noticing. Or so he thought. John knew that his sister, Lucy, was very smart. So he had no doubt that she would've noticed that James took the extra card. "Dude, how the hell are you guys so god damn good at this game?" Says Tim the cook for Alpha Squad. "Just pure luck" says James knowing full well he has been cheating the entire time. "And also strategy says Lucy." Tim rolls his eyes at Lucy knowing that she was going to empty James's pockets out next round. But the next round never came. As soon as Lucy was about to shuffle the deck, a high pitched siren fills the ship causing everyone within it to man their stations. John rushed to the pilot seat where he finds that their controls are being manually overridden by an unknown enemy. John then gets a radio call from the weapons specialist Dan. "Holy shit captian, you have to come and take a look at this!" as John rushed down to Dan's post, he almost stopped breathing right then and there. First what he saw was a ship almost ten times the size of theirs. And that's when he knew that these savages were the ones that caused the ORION to fall apart... These space pirates.
