Pirates, Pilots and Passengers.

Gamma Tau System, Blackmore Cargo Ship on it's way to Theta Tau Space.

The "Blackmore" was an industrial cargo spaceship with mediocre engines and space. There was probably a reason that the corporation that made it went bankrupt a few days after release. The pilot was one Logan Blame, infamous for getting the job done when he wanted and delivering the cargo intact. Today... If you could call it a day was going to change everything for two people, one of those people wasn't even meant to be there.

Logan bobbed his head in the cockpit, his fingers tapping against switches, steering wheels and buttons. The cockpit itself was rather small, the consoles were bulky and looked like the designer had just dropped a hammer on the middle of his design and gave it to his boss, there was a tiny fold-out bed on the left side which was being used to hang Logan's clothes and items and an even smaller kitchen, if a kitchen was compacted, turned upright and resembled a locker, the nightmare of compact wasn't even over, one wouldn't want to go into detail about the bathroom, Logan avoided it too, not that he showered much on trips anyway.

"Warning: This AI would like to inform you that this sector is renowned for Pira-" The Ship's automated artificial intelligence begun in it's droning male voice, it made Logan wish he had one of those sleek ships with the feminine voices that were actually pleasant to the ears, but no, he had to have a Blackmore for this job. "Yea', I know, aight' shut up." Logan said, looking upwards at one of the monitors, showing it a view of his middle finger, not that it would understand the gesture.

Logan was going to set the ship on autopilot when something hit the side of his ship, the sound of electricity and the howl of space sounded somewhere in the far back, the AI announcing that a breach had been made and it was locking down the left side of the cargo bay, it being split into center, right and left for different cargo. The left was meant for cold storage, which meant half the stock was being flooded out the breach. "Well... Fu-"

Another hit and the ship shuddered, restarting the systems before the AI could tell him the obvious, Logan pushed the Blackmore into top gear and kicked one of the levers into full forward, spotting a semi-large space pirate ship in the distance with a sharks mouth painted on the side. "God damn it, we've got ourselves a Granny-Lover." Logan muttered under his breath as he picked up a breather helmet and a welding tool, running in the direction of the cargo bay.
