After a few moments, the sound of the fight seems to die down. But then, a pair of pirates leads two Spacers away at gunpoint. Then another pair of pirates walks past, also escorting Spacers at gunpoint. At least you have your own life. But you have something else: another chance. If you had joined in, you might be a prisoner now. But as the pirates walk by with Spacer prisoners, they don't seem to pay any more attention to you.
So hiding worked. Sort of.
But now what are you going to do? There's an entire ship full of people. And Lothair could get away with selling them all into slavery somewhere unless you help stop him. Thoughts go through your mind, but the idea that catches your attention is this: if the bombs could be disarmed, maybe then some daring group of Spacers would be able to storm the Bridge of the Farragut and put an end to Lothair's evil plan!
And all you have to do is help.
