Eddie snorted awake and fell off his chair.

Mandy's voice was repeating something over a backtrack of gunfire.

'Shields at 80%, Shields at 60 %, Shields at 50%'

EDDIE punched the Comms and screamed into the audio receptor:

'GAWD DANG ROOTIN TOOTIN BOUNTY HAWRS! WUT IN THE GREEN BLAZES OF YER MAMA'S PETTICOATS IS GOIN ON?'

Jimbos' voice rattled an irritated reply; 'We is taken fire from anuther destroyer Boss, so we is shootin back!'

'CEASE FOIR YEW NAVY LUVERS! THIS RUMBUCKET DON'T SHEWTS AT FRIENDS!'

'REPLACE THEM SHIELD BATTERIES AN' SEE IF HE SHEWTS US SOME MORE!'

'MANDY, INITIATE COMMS WITH THAT FELLA, LETS SEE WUT HE WANTS!'

'Yes Eddie', came the reply, 'comms initiated'.

Eddie leaned into the audio receptor and spoke evenly: 'Outcast Destroyer, Outcast Destroyer, this is One Eyed Eddie of the Rumbucket, WHY IN TARNATION IS YEW SHOOTIN AT US?'

Suddenly Mandy's voice sounded urgently over the comms.

'Two Bounty hunter Vessels Inbound and closing fast!'

Eddie scratched vigorously at his eye patch and shouted his orders:

'WUT THE HEE ELL IS THIS? BOUNTY HUNTARS HOAR DAY?'

'MANDY, FIRE SHIELD BATTERIES AND NANO BOTS AT THE DESTROYER NEXT TO US, OI RECKON HE MOIT WANNA JOINS US!'

'JIMBO, ALL HANDS ON DECK, LETS AT THESE BOUNTY BOY SHAGGERS WITH ALL WEEZ GOT!'

'MANDY, BRING HER ABOUT, SAME DRILL AS LAST TOIM!'

'BOYS, LETS GITS US SOME MORE DINKIN BUDDIES! HAR HAR!'
