Chapter Summaries

Yang Bo used a heavy sniper mech to ambush and destroy a pirate squad aboard the Transport Ship. After surviving the five-second battle, he considered using Metal Control to locate the Boss and shoot through the viewing platform.

• Yang Bo chose a powerful laser-cannon mech and found four pirate mechs and five armored pirates threatening a Cargo Hold.

• Yang Bo disposed of the wrecked mechs through an airlock and gained confidence as he realized the ship's compartments blocked communication between the enemy mechs.
• Yang Bo considered locating the Boss with Metal Control and firing through the wall beneath the viewing platform.

Yang Bo prepared another ambush aboard the Transport Ship while hiding his ability to control mechas, and the pirate warship crew realized their losses were mounting. The Pirate Boss remained unreachable as the warship commander waited for the next scheduled contact.

• Yang Bo gained authorization for a third mecha, charged himself, and found that Skin Metallization made his mind and reactions calmer.

• The warship commander said the crew would know something had gone wrong if they could not reach the Pirate Boss within ten minutes.

Yang Bo weighed how to counter the pirates and decided to hunt their scattered squads while considering the possibility of boarding their warship. The Pirate Boss learned that Sky Rend’s controller had attacked his men, ordered the capture of escape-pod passengers, and hurried back to the warship as Yang Bo spotted pirates breaching Cargo Holds.

• Yang Bo secured protection for the Transport Ship’s passengers, confidentiality and safety for the pirates’ families, and witness status for the pirates in exchange for their testimony.

• Yang Bo put on his Energy Armor, hid beside the Escape Pod, and let a Mutant take a supply crate before destroying the pod and heading to find water.
