To add to the ravages of a brutal civil war The Schaler Trivarium must also now suffer a terrible plague. You have accepted a mission to deliver a vital supply of much needed serum to the system. Delivery of the serum and other much needed medical supplies to an awaiting hospital ship, it should be an easy mission.
A quick examination reveals that the Major is in seriously bad shape: the repeat laser blasts he received from Fineline may have cause blood clots. Dr. Feldspar, please make a test against Medic.
There is a dull clank, as the magnetic grapnels strike the Luis Wu's outer hull.
It's an outside chance, but maybe if you give him a dose of 'Fast' Drug (your med-kit has two doses), you can stave off complete brain-death long enough to get him into one of the low-berth chambers, and put him into suspended animation long enough to get him to a proper medical facility.

Aurora, thinking quickly, digs in her medkit for the Fast drug. Without much pause, she administers the drug and begins dragging the Major's unconscious body to a low berth.
Georg: I knew this was not a good idea! Grunting he helps you drag the Major into the Lower Berth chamber, and then stands by, looking anxiously on, as you power up the cryo-tube.
Fineline, you see two figures in the airlock. They have cleaver like blades hung on their belts.
Can't very well be a space pirate without a sword can you!
One thing after another, Anson thinks and continues monitoring what they do under the guise of helping them board.
He double-checks his ship's defenses but knows it will do little if they truly had a fusion charge somewhere. Still, whatever measure of control he could have was welcome.
On the bridge, a dejected Fineline enables the bridge-control protocols. From the way the pirate hovers over his shoulder he quickly gets the idea that a helmet-cam is recording his actions at the console.
A jump from the middle of asteroid field, with bridged controls, could be hairy, and it is certainly nothing he would do if there wasn't the threat of a fusion charge hanging over his head.
To clarify, is this the pirate with Anson or with Aurora? I assumed me at first but then thought it would be Aurora because he spoke about reviving Boone. But then now I thought he could simply be speaking to me as the captain.
Anson: Of course. Our ship's doctor should be working on the injured right now. I'm Captain Anson.
Anson turns to face the man, eyes tracing the tattoo on his left eye for a moment. It seems familiar but he can't place it.
Anson: You're welcome to check in medical.
Is it alright for me to leave the ship unpiloted? It should be on automatic, but better safe than sorry. Also, is it near a mealtime? Could be a good time to eat whatever it is we have available.
