"Hanton's dead."
Lina whispered, "Just now, I can provide you with proof."
"Oh, you killed him?" The Imperial Captain's voice grew deeper, "The surface wounds were your doing, weren't they? You fired on an Imperial soldier."
"I did not directly kill Hanton; he was a precious specimen I wanted to obtain," Lina said, "He got caught up in a piracy dispute."
"So you wanted to destroy his last biological information? Desecrate his body?"
It seemed the Imperial Captain had seen the video, his voice tinged with anger, "Oh! Even though he was just a captain! But he was the Empire's captain! And you blasted him twice with the main cannon!"
Lina's side remained silent, but the main engine had already started, the smooth curved surface once again pockmarked.
