"Are you sure you want to do this?" Williams asks you.

    "We have to stop the pirates," you say.

    "All right," Williams says, "When I signal, you press the button that opens the doors."  You nod.  Williams waits a few seconds, and then he waves to you.  You press the button, and the doors slide wide open.

    You jump through the doorway as laser blasts shoot out.  You duck, to try to get to a safe place, and you fire off a few stunner bolts.  The white bursts of energy knock down a few pirates, as more Spacers come through the door.  But as you ducked for safety, you didn't realize that you were hit in two places by laser fire from the pirates.  As the infamous pirate Lothair is taken prisoner, you feel your life slowly slip away.  The Spacers try to bandage your wounds, but it's too late.  The last thing you see is the Bridge of the Farragut, and the Spacers who helped you end the terrorist takeover.  The last thing you hear is their prayer that God gives your soul rest.  Then you close your eyes for the last time.
