The Ship glows red with the lights painting the two-person crew in an insidious glow. They are in maximum stealth mode.

You have ordered the ship to be in stealth mode as you and First Officer Starwright observe the pirate crew that was strip mining an old abandoned station on the very last known edge of mapped galactic space. You know that this is illegal, but also risky for an exploration vessel to engage in combat.

You see a few ways to deal with this. First would be to move out of enemy sensor range and ping local security forces. But this would delay your departure as well as give the pirates a chance to escape. Second would be to engage the pirates but that would be risky considering this is an exploration craft. The third option is the most awkward: you would need to order Starwright to help recharge their hybrid-alien ship's power banks by engaging in sexual activity. This would allow you to use your secret weapon, the hidden railcannon, to take out the enemy ship's reactor completely.

Starwright speaks up: "Well sir? We are running out of stealth observation time. Eventually our systems will need to release the waste systems and that will flag us on their sensors. What is our next move?"
