Eventually, the team broke through the shutter, but on the other side wasn't Jinny. Instead, they were faced with the remnants of a shambling horde of decaying space pirates, all of them turning upon this collection of ladies with hunger in their eyes. They let out a collection of horrific howls and charged for the mercenaries, arms extended and jaws snapping. On the floor was one of the pirates, a neat hole pierced in his head. A second corpse beside that one had a smashed-in face. Near the pair of bodies one of the vents lay open, a sign that Jinny had made her escape. For now.<br/><br/>"This is now how I envisioned my first fight against the zombie apocalypse going!" Jinny's voice crackled over the comms, "I've also always wanted to fight someone atop a speeding train and if that goes to shit too I might cry!" she joked, then continued, "I think I'm heading to-<strong>OHSHIT!</strong>"<br/><br/>Her voice cut out suddenly, followed by a loud bang. When she came back, it was mostly static.<br/><br/>"--ok! Th--- - ---- i--- the bri-g-! I don't s-- a--on-. I think my a-- is b---en. Goi-- to --- -- w--- the cons--e."<br/><br/>It was hard to understand her. She must've damaged her communication systems somehow. Were there more of these bloodthirsty pirates wherever she'd gone, or was it something else? The ladies didn't have time to ponder too much, what with half a dozen zombified space pirates baring down on them.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, back on the Belle Dame, the other pirate ship was closing in by the second.<br/><br/><em>"The other pirate ship is attempting to raise communications with the one the ladies are on!"</em>said<strong>Rose</strong>, looking worried. She tapped a few buttons on her console and piped the conversation into the bridge.<br/><br/><strong>"Spiteful Crow, this is Vengeful Crow, come in! Come in, you blaggarts! Why are all your security systems haywire! Respond! This is Captain Voss, respond!"</strong>The voice was female, gruff, and very angry. At the rate they were closing they'd either discover the Belle Dame or ram straight into them. Doubtless, they were going to try and board the other pirate ship and see what was going on.<br/><br/>
