"What doctor?" Jeremy asked. "And those pilots knew the risks. They volunteered. But if you do kill them...you will feel Oblivion."
All the while, unnoticed by the Verminator, small probes took,place and just broadcasted a signal on a frequency unknown to the Sarissa.
Jeremy sighed. "This is going no where. You're stubborn you're a jerk, and you have no idea how much someone can change. Nor the meaning of compassion. Maybe you shouls try to have a heart."
Jeremy booted his entire ship up.
"Now... Surrender the cure, and my men, or this will end very badly for you. Very, very badly."
"You speak of compassion? YOU SPEAK OF COMPASSION?!.. You know very well what will happen if you engage. You know that many, many more innocent people will die for one evil, filthy, cannibal. How dare you speak of compassion when you don't even excessive it. But.. Heh.. What do i care? The cure will be discarded if you engage, and you'll have so many lives on your hands.. "
A guard brought a box to the captain along with a small plasma gun. The captain waved the box in the air.
"This is the cure."
He then picked up the small plasma gun and waved it around.
"This is a plasma gun. It can easily vaporize the cure for Smeagle."
He smiled.
"I'm willing to negotiate.. Say.. How much credits is this worth to you? Do you have any prisoners, perhaps? Or how about this! You give me one of your crew members and i give you the cure, and these two prisoners. Yes? No? Any offers?.. Heh.."
Jeremy looked at the screen with Rika on it. He took a moment to rethink. Yeah, it was worth giving someone a second chance. Jeremy touched his picture of Rika, then looked at the screen withDeath Runner on it.
Death Runner turned and looked around at his crew.
"Is he serious?.. "
Everyone looked around confused, and some shrugged.
"Hm.. I see.. Alright.. Alright.. Deal. I'm sending a small transport vessel to pick you up. Along with this vessel is the cure. My soldiers will be aiming their guns at this cure at all times and if you dare try any tricks.. the cure will be destroyed.."
The small vessel left the Sarissa and headed towards the enemy ship.
Jeremy latched onto the Hathor and left his weapons behind. He went to the airlock, and when the shuttle had docked, Jeremy raised his hands and stepped through, followed by Aqua and her assault rifle. They walked into the shuttle.
"Hand the cure to Aqua. You get me. That's the deal."
The soldiers aimed their guns at Jeremy and Aqua, ready for anything. The one holding the cure stepped forward and handed it to Aqua while a few others bound Jeremy and set him on a chair. Aqua stepped back and waved farewell to Jeremy. The vessel closed it's docking bay and retreated back to the Sarissa. Once docked, Jeremy and the soldiers were brought to Death Runner. The captain motioned for Jeremy to stand up front, beside him.
"Call off your men. Or you're dead where you stand."
