Dent regards the pistol you have given him in much the same way that a junior high school girl might regard an oversized slug on a pink and diamond-encrusted leash. You think he mutters a banal pleasantry by way of thanks, but his heart really doesn't seem to be in it.<br/><br/>Of course, if he's a born spacer, he might well be handier with larger defense implements, such as those used on other ship-sized targets.<br/><br/>Going through the south hatch leads you to a short corridor that lets out into a larger, double-height room full of expensive looking computer infrastructure...and at least four more pirates, one of whom seems to be in charge. Between the fancy sash and the way he is instructing the other three ruffians to 'keep beating them', he acts like the officer and gentleman that he probably isn't.<br/><br/>'Them' being a pair of women, possibly hospitality staff, who are looking decidedly unhappy about this...there's something kinky going on, too, given how roughly they're being handled. Their shirts are ripped open, breasts already bruised from being grabbed and slapped and squeezed, and any minute now someone's going to start talking about ramming into every available orifice.<br/><br/>Which means, of course, that none of the four brutes is paying any attention at all to the hallway. Or the hatch. Or you...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Stat Block</div><div class="spoiler_body">Three more AC 13 mooks--1 HD, Attack +1, Morale 8, and one asshole maledom of an officer...also AC 13, but your Fray Die won't affect him as he's a higher level.  3 HD, Attack +3, 1d6+1 damage from a slightly better pistol, Morale 11.</div></div>
