Mission Briefing

The Ringleader and its pirate crew, Patrick's fancy friends, have been terrorising border planets for months. Lacking the resources to properly deal with them, a cluster of planets offered to bait The Ringleader with undefended merchandise, in exchange for Future Club contestants to engage the pirates. Hidden in the crates of merchandise, the contestants were instructed to slaughter everyone on board with maximum prejudice.

Mission report

Account

Two pirates made their way into the cargo part of their ship to inspect the crates, which was signal enough for Gustavo to burst out of his crate and slaughter them both. George and Skullduggew struggled to get out of their crate. Sir Buzz, estimating the situation already being handled, made his way to the back to inspect the rest of the merchandise.
Having torn the two pirates apart, Gustavo made for the door as two more pirates came through the airlock. George took out one of his swords to take one on while Skullduggew accompanied Gustavo. Sir Buzz found a Steven, a butler android, and activated it. He instructed it to make his way to the bridge and deactivate gravity on the ship. The pirates, catching onto the fact that Gustavo doesn't get hurt by bullets, began to retreat to their own ship, followed by Gustavo. George was still fighting one of the wounded pirates, slowly slicing him to pieces, prolonging his agony. It reached a sad climax where George's sword broke, and Sir Buzz, witnessing the tortuous end of the pirate, decided to end him with a swift hit of his morningstar.
the Steven walked through the chaos, distracting the pirates enough for some devastating attacks by Gustavo and Skullduggew. Sir Buzz let loose some bees in the vents, to try and make their way to the bridge. They got lost, some ending up finding their way in the void of space. The pirates got annoyed at the Steven's insistance and decapitated the poor chap.
Fighting in the confined space of The Ringleader airlock, Skullduggew got shot quite critically. Distracted, and still not used to his new cow skull, he let loose a fireball that consumed Gustavo almost instantly. There was no time to mourn. Sir Buzz joined the fray and held the line while Skullduggew attempted to fix himself with a nearby corpse. George decided that the team could use some meds and used his small stature to sneak past the cloud of bees and blood, towards the medbay. He quite successfully found his way there, only to find himself face to face with a female pirate of about his stature, treating a wound on her arm. Sir Buzz sent bees to devour a pirate from the inside while Skullduggew was struggling to land more attacks.
While Sir Buzz was holding the line, shield first, he could not stop a couple of well placed shots from destroying what remained of Skullduggew. Meanwhile, George began to talk to the attractive pirate, pretending to be the new guy on the ship. While she was between him and the meds, he could still find something of use there. She introduced herself as Sophie Durand , and bonding over talks of their respective daughters, George convinced her to give him the rest of the "tour". Starting with... the bedrooms.
As the dust setteld on the airlock fight, Sir Buzz' stray bees found the bridge and discovered Captain Patrick and his eight year old daughter Fiona on the bridge, as well as a very large sleeping man. On his command, the bees began to assault Patrick, torturing him with bites and general buzziness. Sir Buzz had noticed that there were other pirates that had taken position up near the escape shuttles. While George was otherwise occupied, Sir Buzz made his way towards the bridge.
George emerged naked from the bedroom and ran to the medical supplies. He offered to the confused pirate a deal, he would help her find her daughter, and she would give up this life of piracy. As he slung a large box of medical supplies on his shoulder, Sir Buzz' bees smashed into the button that controlled artificial gravity.
What few individuals were still alive on the ship began to float. This was no hinderance for Sir Buzz, who floated through the ship and made his way to the last two pirates. They were waiting for him. The melee was tricky, but he emerged on top, bloodying his armor for glory.
George and his new friend had made their way to the shuttles, intent on leaving. Sir Buzz reminded him the mission was not over, and his bees gloriously smashed the gravity button again. As they fell to the floor, Captain Patrick snapped his neck, while Fiona and her very large and now awake uncle landed firm. No time to grieve. George shut down power to the bridge, and oxygen supply, hoping it would deal with them.
As Uncle Gary began to tear through the door, George and his dear friend hopped in a shuttle. Sir Buzz made his way back to the Cargo area, locking the doors behind him. Upon leaving in the shuttle, George effectively vented the ship. Young Fiona flew out of Uncle Gary's hands and was flung into the void of space, instantly freezing to death. Gary, furious, hung on for dear life and eventually reached the generator, bringing the ship's power back online and stabilizing it.
Sir Buzz started looking through more crates, finding a nifty little grenade launcher. In the corner of his eye, he noticed Gary trying to break through the airlock to murder him. Fortunately, George pulled up close to the airlock and worked to cut the cables between the cargo and the rest of The Ringleader. Halfway through the second cable, Gary broke through the airlock and found himself in the void of space, as the cargo half had drifted just far enough. George and his friend watched him choke to death and got on with slicing through the cable.
They rescued Sir Buzz from the drifting cargo hold. He took the shuttle and flew away to report on the mission, while George and Sophie began cleaning the corpses and blood off their new ship, and sailed away into space together.

Consequences:

• Complete annihilation of Patrick's Fancy Friends
• The Ringleader is in George Pouffiasse's hands
