Difficult choice. Knowing the info from the sweep would be great, but can't pass on a good buddy arc. Number 3

I'm going with three, just because I'm a sick pup and I want to see Vinson laser any stragglers to death.

I am thinking #3, because it includes backup in the case of him being outnumbered, also, stalling for time seems to be in our hero's favor and one never knows what tips in the balance those critical extra minutes might mean.

Thank you for voting! The space pirates in my book series are certainly sneaky. Clanners like to have a way out in case of trouble and Terrans, oh, they certainly are trouble! I will grab a line from your comment and weave it in my next Terran-Tuesday poem.

Voting for 1 due to the protection and safety of civilians.:) Thank you, Knight! Staying tuned…

Two seems a most appropriate continuation, revealing more of Vinson's character. Bwahaha! Ah, the pirate's life!

Those are interesting choices again this week. I think '3' is the way to go, though. Two hands are better than one! 😎

Thank you for your vote and the haiku fodder :D

I am inclined to go with three as well. In the military, we always practiced the buddy system. This should apply here as well.

The Terran Morale Officer buddy system is insanely cool :D Thank you for your vote!

I'm a stickin with the sneaky morale officer idea. Hightail it to the highest point on the building and set up snipin' action. Wait fer his Terran friend and smoke some pirates.

That's how a sniper would handle it.

Thank you! I hope you liked my Terran-Tuesday poem too :)

I choose three. One feels too much like a coward’s way out (not the type that seems right for the character). Two is okay but three leaves it open for more surprise.

Three! Stall and confuse. My strategy throughout school.

Thank you for your vote! Terran Morale officers can wield words better than any weapon. Even as he conversed with his enemies, Vinson pricked them here and there. Just enough so they would bleed…
