>>6051721“A break in?” you mutter, wondering who would try and break into a prison as one of your men, the Unggoy Duzup in charge of the cargo bay's security team looking from them to you curiously. “No, we're going to let them go. Just this once.”
“Are you sure?” he asks you, then realizes he's just questioned you and backs up a nervous step. But you shake your head, holding a hand out towards him as that massive powerlevel blasts straight past you all. Narrowly missing the nose of your ship.
“At ease, Duzup. No, I'm not sure.” you answer, to which all the pirates again level weapons at the two Galactic Patrol members. “But if they want to go chase down something stronger than my father, it's their funeral.”
“You sure you don't want to join us?” Merus asks you, catching you by surprise. “The Galactic Patrol could use a powerful warrior like yourself, you're the first mortal to ever best me in combat.”
“HA! Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not planning on directly opposing my father and the PTO, after all.” you say to the little godling, holding out your hand. “But try not to get yourself killed out there, eyy? I'd enjoy a rematch sometime.”
“Hmph. Very well. But you won't catch me by surprise so easily next time.” the divine being says, accepting your handshake.
“Thank you for your consideration, but I really must be leaving! See you back at base Merus!” Jaco calls, immediately firing up his ship. You reach out telepathically to Can Kag, letting him know the situation and to let the Galactic Patrol ships leave.
“Are ya sure about this, Capt'n?” he asks worriedly. “If we let them go, they'll come back with an army to take us all in or down.”
“If that happens, we'll take them on. And win.” you reply as the two Galactic Patrol ships disembark, splitting off in different directions. “Send a message to the other ships that the one we marked heading out further into the Outer Rim is not to be intercepted as it is leaving.”
“And the other one?” he asks, you smirking.
“If they can take him in, do it.” you reply, ending the mental link and grabbing your wife. Who giggles as you sweep her off her feet, wrapping her hands around your neck before you both kiss passionately a moment. If the Galactic Patrol ever return, you'll be ready. But for now, you're going to take your wife back to your quarters, and continue enjoying your extended honeymoon.
