Tiny arrived just outside Ella's system looking to tangle with Pedge and all he found was a wall of ships, friends to Pedge and hired guns. Pedge had sought refuge aboard the Sylla, out of reach and out of range. It was at that moment Tiny realized he wasn't looking for Pedge at all, he was looking for a fight.Always up for a brawl, Das Boot and Aluminum Mallard were dragged into the skirmish against five other ships. They had a greater hull capacity but they were outnumbered and outgunned, Tiny's squad perished but not before taking down Dr. Esstimpress and The Nitimeistheritime.

You absorb much more damage than your shields can handle. The Jewel of the Desert lays into you with a final barrage of homing missiles and you feel the rush of oxygen leaving the bridge.

Zot Zot Zot! You crushed that ship like a tin can. Your critical hit in the first round of combat did 84 damage and you could have knocked him over with a feather after that.

The model G2-4311 Android melts in the most satisfying way as your zot guns tear through the hull of its ship. You hardly feel a bump as the return fire glances off your dense hull.
Pretty damn impressive, I bet Brad Nebula will want *your* autograph!

You manage to dodge the first several volleys, the Talionis is getting pounded and you see the captain of the Mallard take a space walk. It's two ships against five.
Dr. Esstimpress spins out of control and you launch your homing missles into the mess. Four against two but it still isn't going well.
You know this is the end when Marshal Seldon lines you up and starts transmitting a Coalition Rights Policy. You interrupt the transmission with a volley of homing missiles and The First Post1 breaks in melting your boat to slag.

The battle takes too long and the damage you're soaking up is pushing the limits of your new hull. Das Boot appears from nowhere with a line on you and it's all you can do to turn the guns in time. It was you or them.

You wheel up to the Scylla and poke around until a perimeter droid gets a little too curious. You fry the droid and hightail it back to Pete's with your cache full of data on the warship and her commercial companions, a Galaxxon Mark X Sun Harvester and a fleet of planet crunchers.

You drop in on a G2-4311 Android in pursuit of Brad Nebula. You quickly assssesss it's weak points and drive home a volley of zot gun fire and a Mondo cannon blast for good measure. Despite dealing a respectable amount of damage, the scuzzoid barely has your ship off balance. The hull density improvements appear to have been a good investment.

Marshal Cochrane shows up to relieve Charybdis of a rage-filled Space Lizard and a few of his friends. It's a long battle and takes a toll on all involved. The Ironclad takes a few small blasts from the Aluminum Mallard and dishes out heavy damage in return.
After the battle you swing by Ella's to pick up the mail and find a package lumped in with the bills. Inside is a Chupalla, a perfect hat for you, now standard issue for frontier lawmen.

You dropped in on a well shielded and armored space scuzzoid. It looks like a model G2-4311, a particularly nasty brand of assasin droid developed by ICUP contractors.. why would it be out here?
You're dead. On the bright side, you gave your life for Brad Nebula. THE Brad Nebula. That's almost better than an autograph, now he'll have to attend your funeral!

You take a few good blasts from each of the ships you're up against. The hula dancer rattles on the dash, the pile of organs slosh around a bit. You dig out the homing missiles, better use up that old ordinance. A few well placed shots and the Mallard is a lame duck.
You turn to face the Talionis... he's been taking heavy fire from all fronts and it's just a matter of finsihing him. You press the button and watch a rain of scrap metal. Salvage time.
