As Adam continued to head in the direction of the ship's bridge, Spector suddenly announced.
[[Notice: I am detecting an unsecure transmission from within the ship, patching into it now.]]
After which, a series of new voices was suddenly heard by Adam and everyone watching the stream.
["Finally got a weak comm signal up and running using our space suits' comm system."]
["Good job, Shikei."]
["Thanks, but it's only effective in the ship; it doesn't have enough power to reach any of our alley ships."]
["What the fuck happened to the atmosphere? If I weren't wearing a space suit, I would be dead."]
["If I weren't locked in the bridge, I would be, luckily, I still have atmo up here."]
["I'd still put a space suit on just in case, Briz, we have no idea what happened to the rest of the ships' atmo."]
["Already put one on."]
["What the fuck is taking so long?"]
["The ship was basically hit by an EMP idiot, of course, it's taking us ages to fix this."]
["It wasn't an EMP, it was distortion shots, why the hell are they still affecting our ship?"]
[They must have hit something sensitive."]
["Fuck, you really fucked us when you took this job, Briz. Did you even bother to do your homework on the ship?"]
["Fuck you dickhead. Of course I did, the client sent me the data on the ship, but nothing in it said the ship could launch weird remote fighters or whatever they were."]
["Shut the fuck up and get back to work, I can see out the window that a Merinmian Defence Force ship has arrived. Judging by the fact that neither they nor our target is fighting anymore, the other ships must also be disabled or maybe destroyed."]
["Shit, we need to get the FTL drive back online so we can jump out of here; everything else can be repaired in FTL."]
["What do you think we've been trying to do, idiot? Bekkit, why haven't you got Shikei out of the R&D lab yet? We need him to check over the FTL drive."]
["Yeah, hurry the fuck up and get me out of here, Bekkit, you midget."]
["..."]
["Bekkit?"]
["Where the fuck is Bekkit? Why isn't he responding?"]
["Did something happen to him?"]
["No idea, I can't get any of the bridge systems working."]
["Fuck, Briz is stuck on the bridge, Shikei is stuck in the R&D lab, Bekkit is AWOL, that only leaves Cha Cha and me to check the FTL drive."]
["You expect a horny bitch like Cha Cha to understand how to fix an FTL drive. You do it, Simone."]
["Fuck you, Shikei."]
["You wish you could fuck me, you horny Rabitouser."]
["Shut the fuck up. Simone and Cha Cha, head to engineering and check the FTL drive and see if you can't somehow get it powered from the neutron reactor."]
["Sure."]
["Ok."]
["I will keep trying to get the bridge systems back online since I can't go anywhere anyway."]
["What about me?"]
["Is there even anything useful you can do in the R&D lab?"]
"What are the chances they can get the FTL up and running and jump into FTL?" Adam asked as he continued to fly in the direction of the bridge.
[[Practically none existent, according to my calculations, the distortion shot's energy will continue to affect the ship for at least thirty more minutes.]]
"No need to change the plan at the moment, then," Adam said while his minimap showed two of the dots indicating the ship's crew coming together before heading to another part of the ship.
"This stream just keeps getting more and more interesting. Who would have thought he would be able to hack in and listen to their communications?" Kasumi said with a flirtatious smile as her eyes sparkled.
"We learned a lot of information from their conversation, however," Eri commented.
"Why don't you sum it up for our viewers, Eri?" Malgath suggested.
"First of all, we know that the pirates were hired by someone to attack the streamer's ship, but they didn't know how advanced it was. Either because the client didn't tell them everything or because they didn't know themselves.
Second is that they don't know that the streamer vented the ship's atmosphere or that he has killed the Dwarfinian aparently named Bekkit.
Third is that Shikei, who, I'm guessing by his name, is a Catonian like myself, is the one trapped in the R&D lab.
Fourth is the one named Briz, who, by elimination, we can tell is the Nagareen, trapped on the bridge where the streamer is currently heading.
Fifth is that the final two, Simone the Brood and Cha Cha the Rabitouser, are now on their way to check and hopefully power up the FTL drive in engineering."
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Damn, she picked all that up from just hearing the conversation once.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): Most impressive, even I only know a handful of people who could do what she just did.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Indeed, Diva Lorelie made a good choice in choosing her to be her chaperone.]
A few minutes passed without much happening while the chat and show guests talked amongst themselves regarding what they had just heard, and the ship's crew bickered amongst each other before Adam finally reached the bridge's door that was sealed shut.
Adam studied the bridge doors' design, which jutted out around a quarter of a meter from the wall behind it, before deciding on a plan, after which he approached it and once more retrieved a molecular disintegration bomb from his utility belt and attached it to the door.
[[Molecular Disintegration Bomb Armed]]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): He's using the same plan as before? That wont work though, right?]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): I doubt it, we know the Nagareen named Briz trapped inside is wearing a space suit.]
[Beczontop (Imperial Down): You're forgetting. The moment the door is disintegrated, all the air inside will rush out, and the Nagareen will most likely be sucked along with it since he's not expecting it. That will give my baby a chance to attack him while he is distracted.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Spector): Listen, Succuba bitch, I appreciate how you found out and informed me about everyone's well-being on Trillion after the neutron reactor bomb, but he still isn't your man.]
[Beczontop (Imperial Down): Damn it bitch, I'm trying to make amends here and be friends.]
[OfficialLorelie (Spector): 😮💨 I'm not sure calling her a bitch is the right way to make friends with her.]
[Tessisdabest (Imperial Down): Diva Lorelie is correct in this matter, Becz.]
[Beczontop (Imperial Down): Ok, ok, I'm sorry. But why are you talking on here and not in person, Lorelie?]
[OfficialLorelie (Spector): Because we haven't announced the fact that both Stacey and I are dating the same man.]
[Beczontop (Imperial Down): You can't be serious. Your boyfriend's a streamer, and his chat already knows that you're both dating him since that quarter brood… I mean, since Stacey kissed him live on stream before.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): I basically just said the exact same thing to Jessie and Joe. Listen, Stace, you're better off revealing this information yourselves and not letting everyone find out from Xer-verse because of a Handsome3horns post or something.]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Hey.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): That's totally something that wanker would do.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Oh my, a secret love triangle that's not so secret? 😹]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): Stop teasing the young ones, Malacoss. You surely remember what it's like to be in love. I remember you got rejected by your wife nine times in the past before she accepted your offer of a date.]
[LadyErkath (Alastor): That was why the Demon King gave him Deverinian 9 to rule. It was to mark how many times he had to ask his wife out before he was accepted. 😂]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): I never knew that. 😹]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Empress Revi, I would politely state that I don't want to hear that from someone who has never been in a relationship or even in love.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Who says I have never been in love?]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Wait, you've been in love? Really?]
[OfficialLorelie (Spector): …]
[OrangeeyedStace (Spector): …]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): This is news to me.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Do you really think it's possible for me to have lived 12 lifetimes and not have fallen in love? Just because I don't go around bragging about it doesn't mean it hasn't happened.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): I guess that makes sense. So, will you tell us who the lucky person who caught your eye is or was?]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): No.]
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): Although this conversation topic is very interesting, might I suggest we put it on hold for a moment since Diva Lorelie's boyfriend is about to break down the door to the bridge.]
After setting the molecular disintegration bomb, Adam stepped to the side of the door and positioned himself with his back against the wall in one of the alcoves beside and behind the door.
He pulled up his uniband and once again pressed the button on the small holographic screen that said.
