It was spectacularly played. Out of the trade lane came the LPI gunboat Leavenworth, an LPI bomber, Liberator, and a Navy Avenger. Captain Debs began to call for a retreat, but was cut off by a cruise disruptor and forced to a screeching halt. Demands were made by the LPI, including the transfer of 'guests' being held aboard La Villa Strangiato. Some Xeno and Pirate Transport that arrived about the same time as the law beat a hasty retreat (though definitely not together, as they had been shooting each other).

Then the Leavenworth demanded that the Rogues surrender and come with him to Sugarland. With little choice in the matter bar being destroyed, Debs complied and let them law lead the ship through the New York jump gate and down to Texas, where the Rogue Gunboat was parked in an impound lot on the far side of the blue planet that Sugarland orbits.

The crew of La Villa Strangiato was taken aboard the Leavenworth for transfer, and as Eugene looked around the bridge one last time, he felt a tad bit sorry he had ever hated the name that had been given it. It had certainly been a good run.

He walked off the bridge and into the careful watch of some LPI SWAT members.
