Fire!

This bitch killed one of your friends and is threatening another. Pirates are often times not right in the head and talking probably won’t have much an effect. Besides, you need control of the ships systems now and managing a vessel in the midst of a hostage negation isn’t going make things run any smoother.

One well placed shot is all it toke. The Pirate's body fell to the ground in a heap. Giana, uninjured, couldn't get away fast enough from her ex-captor.

You lowered your rifle to your side and took a deep breath. Technically your side won but at the expense of a lot of good women. And it’s not over yet by any means. The Pirate ship is still out there and for all you know, the ship is crawling with more pirates. You and the two surviving marines looked to your captain for further orders.
