Valian couldn't help but laught hysterically at Cy's move.  [i]Taking out thirty damn ships at once.  Now that's a fucking weapon.[/i]  Then Jaydaar crashed into the pirate's ship.  "Fuck!"  He switched on his ship's radio.  "Everyone, Jaydaar's been hit.  He crashed into the pirate's mother-ship.  It looked like his forward shields were working, so should still be alive.  He'll probably need an evac, but anyone who tries to close in on that damn thing is probably going to get rushed by every ship they've got in the air.  Cy, whatever the hell you just did, more of that would be really nice right about now."  Valian altered his course.  "I'll cut the rest of the anchors in the Babylon.  When the boarders in there are cleaned up, another ship out here would help with that evac."

With so many pirates having been taken out by Cy's lightning storm, getting to the anchors wasn't too difficult.  Valian took out another two pirate fighters on the way, and used his energy beams to cut another anchor.  And then another.  He was taking aim at the last when another pirate fighter came out of nowhere.  Valian wheeled around to face it, only to find himself surprised.  This one was visibly less shoddy than the others he'd been fighting.  It looked like someone actually decently competent was behind it, instead of just another pirate.  It dodged his fire with ease, and began circling to come at him again.  Valian cut the final cable, barely dodging a shot from his new opponent.  [i]Looks like I'm in for a dogfight.[/i]  Valian would be excited at the idea of a proper opponent, if Jaydaar weren't still in the lion's den.  "I've cut the anchors on the Babylon, but one of these fuckers actually knows his shit.  I think he's gonna have me tied down for a bit."
