"We can't out run them, captain!" cried one of the men.
"We have no other choice!" spat back the captain.
Men were running from control board to control board, trying in vain to stabilize the cargo ship. How stupid could they have been trespassing on another cargo ships territory. Any other cargo hauler would have considered what they did suicide. But they had no other choice and now they were being trailed. The ship shook with suddenly, causing men to crash from side to side.
"Captain, should we send a distress signal?"
The captain furrowed his brow. He didn't want to risk sending out a distress signal now. Not with the other ship trailing them so close that they could pick up the transmission. But, seeing as there was no means of escape, the captain bit his lip and nodded.
"Send it."
