The central corridor bristled with barricades. The crew put up desperate resistance and did not want to give up their ship. But that day wasn’t their day.
“Khag, are you ready?” asked the captain.
“Oh, so the captain!” the Shork broke roared in response.
“Let’s go then.”
Two bulky figures broke darted off, advancing. The crew laid down a squall of fire, but light rifles could not even dent the thick Shork armor and the knight’s exoskeleton. The captain and the boatswain blocked the corridor completely with their massive suits of armor.
In a few moments they got to the barricades and crushed them using the advantage of wearing heavy exoskeletons. Suddenly something big and powerful hit the captain, and he barely maintained foothold. The second blow struck at the back of his head and tore off the backpack.
Someone guessed to use autoloader robots in combat. Heavy duty machines had powerful enough systems to damage a combat exoskeleton. But they did not have enough armor protection. More precisely, they did not have any protection at all.
Seit plasma weapons are fragile and require complex maintenance, so the Shork has long lost his. But an Eltofa ax is also a good weapon. The mighty Shork clad in an exoskeleton crushed the loader robot with one blow. The captain dealt with the attackers and rejoined his teammate. Defenders had been broken.
“Vultures,” said the captain. “Finish them off. The ship is yours.”
The pirate crew responded with joyful cries and headed deeper into the captured ship’s bowels.
