That was interesting to spend some more time with the Clanners and Zhur in this Chapter. This is definitely a tricky one this time. I think Option '2' is probably the best way to go. They're growing in confidence now, and if they could sabotage a few enemy ships and leave them stranded that way, that could really be the final nail in the coffin for their morale. Then later, once the Corpo arrives on the surface, Boom Time will be the perfect welcome! 😎

Thank you for your vote! Certainly, all of the options have their merit, and each will achieve or fail different objectives :D Also, remember what Vinson told Zhur during his verbal takedown earlier? “Your doom will occur at a time and place of my choosing.”

Vote for 3. I really like the imagery with the PDA and how it sets up the strategy and action that follows.

I like the idea of #3. Nothing like a good boom, boom, boom., boom to stir the senses.

Alternatively, if I were the clanner, I'd probably kill the corpo bitch.

Thank you for voting my friend! Unironically, why do you think the clanner sent the corpo bitch down :D

Why, to die, of course.

His Clanner honor would not allow him to break the contract. However, if something should happen to the contract holder, while he or she is acting on their own accord… Of course, Captain Zhur shall be down there too. Just nowhere near her vicinity :3

I loved the baddies shooting At rocks and mud hills and bushes. Not knowing which were which🤣🤣🤣☺️ I Vote for three the idea of the pirates setting on that muddy rock waiting for death is just to good to pass up. Yes Morale Officers can be scary ☠️

I actually like three. As any soldier knows, if you deprive a unit of its supplies, they wither and die.

Okay, I love the way this battle went down. I would take option two. Sounds like it would cover the most ground and make the most headway.
