"So Jake, do we remain on station while repairs are underway on the Robin or should we get a move on?" Eden asked over the fleet communications system "Getting the systems operational might take some time but I think I can slave the Robin to my ship's controls in the meantime so we can jump together."
Sort of like a tugboat... except this time I'm the tugboat... she thought to herself, Why is this nebula making me feel uneasy? I keep imagining raid klaxons out there in the mist...

"So where are me and my crew gonna be staying and what will we be doing on your ship Captain?" he asked Eden politely, knowing to give her the respect she deserves, he causes trouble he might "disappear"

"I don't know..." Jake said, as scan files Sarah took appeared on his screen. "The damage looks pretty extensive... we'd have to rebuild a new cockpit, and we do not have the resources, time, or manpower to rebuild an entire room of a ship. It's not like we carry hull material or structural supports around on this mission. I hate to do this to ya' Bren, but we may have to abandon the Robin. The fact of the matter is we don't have the materials to do such a repair, and dragging a dead ship around would not be very strategic as far as speed and evasion. We could either ditch the Robin, or get to the next store and break it down to scrap. Ideas?"

If you think about it, rebuilding a room of a ship is not like a normal repair. You need structural parts, and hull material, and other 'building materials' that would be hard to come by.

"Play it by ear, at the very least we should salvage all the weapons, that crystal burst weapon is very useful" he said sighing a bit

"Considering how we're mostly geared around boarding, I'm going to expect you to pull your weight in such situations" Eden said, leading Bren and his crew to the quarters. The whole place was a mess of disorganised bedsheets, playing cards and bones; obviously the pirates liked to gamble using the remains of their victims. There was a very distinct smell of the metallic tang of blood along with what one would expect from a bunch of dirty cannibalistic pirates.
There was also a painting easel in the corner which had been knocked over but it was clear that one of the pirates had an artistic streak and didn't have a good supply of red paint.
"Before you ask, if you don't like where we all sleep, there's always an alternative" Eden laughed, leaving the room and letting Lux handle the tour.
"She is right... we all sleep here; there is no private room for the Captain" she explained, sitting on one of the beds "You'll get used to the stench rather quickly... there's only so much a sonic shower can do."

Lux said to Bren "I'm worried about the state of this mission. We're down one ship, everything is undermanned or run by crazy cannibals and the Rebels... you saw what they did."
Her smile seemed to be wavering "I'm not even sure if my father is still alive... and whether or not he'd approve of me and The Gift..."
She cradled her belly "Great Steven's Spirit, it's all gone to stars!" she laughed "I guess Captain Awesome does have a quote for everything!"

He pat her on the shoulder, "Well...guess we will make it work, we have too, the feds are counting on it' he said

"Bren," Jake signaled to Brens' handheld comm unit. "I see you've boarded the Pelican. Until we get you a new ship, which shouldn't be THAT hard considering we break down the Robin and salvage its materials, you are also welcome to stay on board my ship, with Kyrie and WOL. We have plenty of room over here."

Bren looked at the room he would stay in, and smelled everything

"hmmm"

*Jump Cut to him and his crew walking onboard Jake's ship*

"So this is the ship from the future, I'm impressed..." he said, "So where is the weapon bay?" he asked

Eden chuckled at how quickly Bren took up the offer to go on the Mutare.
Lux said "I wouldn't be that harsh on him. He was raised on a slave ship with much more deplorable conditions than what your crew has."
"I would like to clean this place up from bow to stern, but a clean ship doesn't make for a fearsome crew and I need to keep up that reputation of being ferocious amongst other pirates" Eden said "Don't want to lure them into a false sense of security after all..."

She ordered her crew to tighten up the doors of the Pelican and run a cable through. "We're ready to jump... can you get a reading on the next beacon? I'm getting either a distress signal or a merchant transponder"

Later, after we stripped the Robin and got a ton of scrap: (When you blow up a ship a lot of loot is destroyed, but in this case we should get a ton of scrap from disassembly, since we have a lot of time to do so.
Now, what's left of the Robin is only its structural shell!)

"Well," Jake began, as Bren relayed the salvage data they had recovered. "I would say merchant location, we have a ton of scrap to buy all the upgrades we want! We could also donate some of that to Lux's runabout-in-progress."
