"Did you start the engines again? "He asked in an urgent tone. "We have to get out of here as soon as possible. Whatever your initial reasons for being here are, believe me, it's not worth it."

Even if we wanted to, your stupid pirates caused so much damage during their boarding that we would have to stop at the space station to finish those goddamn repairs!

Faced with the reprimand, the pirate captain's face darkened, but he didn't lose his temper. Quite the opposite, a surge of despair flashed fleetingly before being immediately repressed. It went almost unnoticed, except for a few watchful glances.
