It's remarkable how amenable people can be to a vocational reassessment when a high-velocity messaging system of piercing expression and incendiary punctuation is being adequately showcased.
Reminds me of another HFY where a human gets in "legal" trouble with the "galactic goverment" because they think his civilian ship has too much firepower.
I laughed so hard i choked. you all at Sci Fi Realm are wonderful and incredibly gifted in humor. if this is how we treat hostile aliens then none of them will harm us. LOL
Was that.... An image of Captain Jack Sparrow in space? Dame, you really can put Johonny Depp in any setting and he still looks cool. Edit: PFFFT, wow you really need to be a Legendary SMUGGLER to come up with "descriptions" like that.
It's just your typical matter displacement Device. You know, when do you want to displace part of star in close proximity To people who offend your sensibilities...
My guess was that those were combat robots, and while pirates would gladly steal weapons, dealing with activated combat robots is entirely different matter.
Sure, but with that much ordnance around it's difficult to enforce the robbery without risking something blowing everybody up if the guy dives for something or grabs a weapon. It's not like you can fire on him without risking hitting whatever is behind him.
I'd have laughed and gone, "wait, you're suspicious cause I didn't get bored and mess with you? Seriously?"
Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett would be proud of these developments in Sci-Fi humor.
Yep, nailed the genre right there :o)
Just came here to post similar. This is great!
lol 😂
Absolutely love the wonderfully creative descriptions ! Keep up the great work!
How the hell do you threaten a pirate into a 9-5 job?😂
Offering them to be on the "other end" of paperwork .. essentially the same work ..
:)

Every scoundrel is an EMO waiting to happen. Excitement Moderation Opportunity, of course.

This Captain sounds like a fusion of Haun Solo and Baloo from Tail Spin. Sounds fun.
The 'pirates' remind me of the air pirates also from Tail Spin.
I liked "Tailspin". Your showing your age.

Oh so wonderful! This is what would have made for a better Han Solo movie. So witty and light hearted.
I smiled out loud! Nicely done.
Loved it...I'd definitely give it a thumbs up. Of course, the two shots may have made it funnier. lol.
Love the humor!!
Good tale
This is pure gold.

Weren't the pirates looking for weapons to steal?
Yes, they said as much. BUT...... If you dealing with a Smuggler that looks at your armed Robbery and Smiles widely, "May I make a Suggestion? RUN!"
My guess was that those were combat robots, and while pirates would gladly steal weapons, dealing with activated combat robots is entirely different matter.

So, those cardboard boxes included combat robots or something?
Well, the ship captain did ask the computer to prepare an active demonstration should the pirates ask for one.
