Option three is a good choice.

When out of the darkest night

into docking bay not so bright

With the shield doubled in front

The bird landed within sight.

After careful exam of the bay around

but alas, nothing was found.

Vote for option 1. I like the more renegade aspect of it, a pilot making a split second decision in the midst of destruction.

Not gonna lie, I kind of want to see how option one pans out. But, option three would be the most prudent.

Thank you for voting! I had the sneaky suspicion that you'd like this one too.

I am caught between 2 or 3. Three might be the more cautious answer but two sounds very plausible. But if I must, I would go for two, why not go at it with a blast and finish the rest on foot hoping by some miracle it won't be a fools errand to do so.

Entertaining as always, thanks for sharing

Thank you for your vote! I think that in this episode the vote will be split between 3 and 1 :)

Three because stealth is almost always the best strategic maneuver

Thank you for your vote! Indeed, and Spacers like our gunslinging, starfighter piloting, ghost-ridden derelict exploring Northstone Firehand, are all about maneuvering :)

I am going to vote for #1. I think Firehand would enjoy this one the most. And it would make for an exciting story to tell.

"Our mag-boots are locked upon the shoulder armor of giants!" That's a fantastic line. And nice to see another sammich make an appearance! Haha! Anyway, 'Option 1' sounds great this time around. A neat little parking space, just waiting to be taken. Full speed ahead! 😎

Thank you for voting! You know, Terrans young and old, they do like to create their parking spaces… even in space :3

I'm finally all caught up and I can actually impact the vote!

Option three would certainly be the wisest choice. But it feels like Northstone is developed to be more of a character of action rather than planning. If he thought too cautiously all the time, he wouldn't have as many interesting stories to tell, right?

I'm going against the grain and I'm going to pick:

Option 1

Thank you for your vote! Yes, and you are correct about this. Northstone is a Spacer and Spacers more often than not do commit to doing the most ballsy stuff ever.
