having been caught in the action, Daniel calls to Myles "sorry for ignoring you, the Vulture's claw over there is a dreadnought class. the thing has a tons of armor but she is slow as a hippo. The problem is her size, she has room for a large set of teeth." Though the gunnery crew aboard the Khaos was making short work of the gun emplacements. "odds are as long as we don't get blasted by something big, we can strip her down for parts."
----
"This isn't happening!" cried Captain Dart. His ship was being torn to ribbons by the nimble ship and the thing was too small to nail with his larger cannons. He was sure that the Khaos had a ace rifleman aboard as he had gone through several men trying to steer his craft.
"How can such a small ship take me down?! The Vulture is a Dreadnought for lands sakes!" Dashing from the deck he snared a dozen of his better men and dragged them below deck. with the engines and nav systems shot to hell, they were sitting targets, not to mention the Guild Navy was closing in as well.
"Strap your selves in boys were heading for a brawl!" The pirates load into a smaller vessel meant for boarding, equipped with landing claws and extra plating
"its time we brought the fight to them!" he shouts as they cast off

"Excellent news! And now for something of a trick shot."
Elliot aimed once more at the deck of the enemy ship. He fired another shot just as the Captain was hurrying below deck, sending his hat, and a crewman behind him, flying.
Removing an enemy and mocking the Captain. What could be better
He returned his attention back to his position, and into the tubes:
"Keep at it men! We are too small for them, and if we keep at this we shall have a fine bounty! Advise now you target their larger cannons. They may be too big to hit us but the guild fleet shoul dbe arriving soon."
He looked over towards to guild, and saw a small cloud of ships heading towards them, though not overly fast, the guild having dreadnoughts of its own.

The ship moved awkwardly and Abigail followed suit, stumbling against the wall. Quickly rightening herself, she grabbed the passenger's elbow and hurridly led her down the hallway after Penelope.
"This way, miss." Once the trio was safely in the medbay, Abigail let go of the lady's arm and ran to the window, leaning out to get a better view. "Looks like we've got them floating and if I squint I can just make out a couple other ships below."

((Us noncombat folk know what's happening, we just gotta find things to do to keep us occupied and the ship darting about could be pretty off-setting if you can't see it coming. lol We're just keeping busy down below.))

Myles notices the launch and turns to the tubes. "All clanks currently not occupying a combat position, prepare to repel boarders!"

((Internet is still failing me
Emelia stood a good ways away from the window, shaking a little.
"You don't think...I mean....what happens should we lose?"

And it was while they were still focused on attack and not even bothering to look undertoe that the little critter would hop into the largest cannon on-ship, stuffing itself right into it. Closing all its bodily vents but that in its mouth, it prepared itself... And then... THOOM. The ensuing explosion simultaneously knocked the cannon's loading-hatch off its hinges and launched Boom-Boom all the way back over to the Khaos' deck.

having seen that the p0irates were begining to board a strange look came to his eyes, the sterling silver blade in his p0ocket his hand seemed to instantly become attached to it as he jumped out watching the enemy ship waiting for them to board, something was different his breathing faster and his eyes dialated he stood in silence, a clank bump0ing into him he shrugged it off and mumbled a threat as it ran away, he p0ressed a button on the com and spoke
"Permission to take neccesary measures when they board cap'n..."
something in his tone was noticably different, menacing for a such a quiet man to be growling into his mic as he spoke.

"Keep at you position for now Mr. Kalafailrre. We cannot afford to ease up the gunning just because of a boarding action. Only fight hand-to-hand when the reach this deck."
Elliot grabbed something else from by his position, that something being a 1 1/2 m long blade, which he fastened to the underside of his rifle, so that the blade ran down its length.
"Captain! I will join to clanks to engage the boarders as they come!"

Myles slowly draws his shock stick, knowing that the bridge is going to be a target. "Shall I barricade the door?"

Penelope hopped up to sit on one of the medical tables, feet swinging. She grinned at Ms Emelia. The Khaos couldn't lose, she decided.
"Don't worry. We won't. The whole guild armada is probably helping us now, we're just giving those pirates what-for." Penelope punched the air in front of her to emphasize the 'what-for.'

Daniel watched the boarding craft approach. Things must be rather desperate on the dreadnought if the captain himself was trying to board the Khaos. Looking back at the dreadnought in question, Daniel was surprised at the total wreck he had made of the larger ship. the engines and cannons were shot to hell and back and the thing hung in the air like a bloated whale. Daniel grinned, "Admiral I'd say the Khaos is a rather viscous old bird eh?"
To Myles, "block the doors but don't take too many risks, if the ol' captain is planning what i think hes planning, he will barge past the others and charge up here."
He doubted his crew would let the enemy get even that far, but if they did the three of them, and Eli on deck, could take a dozen strong arms easily. sometimes it pays to have a rag tag crew. they are far harder to take down because of each individual was unpredictable.
-----
Captain dart was quiet. as his lander sped toward the Khaos he was ready for the end, it had been a fulfilling career and he had taken many ships. but he would not be sent to the gallows. he would fight till the last breath.
The craft came within reach of the Khaos and latched onto the hull with its claws. The men roared and poured onto the deck.

he had heard the order, but something in his mind jus didnt seem to click his eyes bloodshot and his breathing becoming more eratic he rushed the pirates blade drawn, leaping into the fray sinking his blade deep into the throat of the first pirate he could reach, an insane smile on his face as the blood gushed from the wound and he removed the blade, a right hook across the face from an enemy only stirred him even worse he spun around and pushed the pirate over the ledge, he had lost himself in the fight and continued to fight, a loud scream could be heard as he was stabbed in the arm by an enemy only for them to be quickly taken care of....he had turned into a killing machine.

Talon had darted behind the tail fin once again and watched the ladder fold down. She flipped a switch on her portable welder turning it on just in case. She gave herself a lot of slack and crept along the back over to the claws. She pull out the welding torch and changed the head making it a plasma cutter. She was crouching lot hoping to not be seen by the pirates.
