He counted himself lucky that he was able to add more to his supplies that can last now for a month or two thanks to the 'generosity' of the space pirates he encountered. Not that he had a shortage of supplies, he generally just believes that having more is better than having enough. While carrying the last parcel to his storage closet, he passed the sleeping O'Gun, his trusty co-pilot, childhood friend, and lifelong companion. A bubble of snot was forming at its nose as it whimpered and made exciting noises, no doubt dreaming about chasing his prey. Eilsel chuckled then made sure to walk carefully and silently to not wake O'Gun up. After he put the parcel in the storage closet, Eilsel was surprised to see O'Gun already woken up, jumping and barking with zeal. Eilsel crouched down next to it. [color=aquamarine]"I am sorry, my friend. Did I wake you up?"[/color], he asked as he scratched its head. [color=aquamarine]"You have been sleeping for hours, O'Gun, and I am betting a bag full of diamond coins that you are hungry as a lentarii?"[/color]. O'Gun excitedly jumped and barked once more in response. [color=aquamarine]"Very well then, follow me so we can go get your lunch"[/color], Eilsel said. He stood up and walked towards the pirate ship, O'Gun happily running and jumping around him in circles as it followed him. He may not have been exploring Elysia for that long of a time, but Eilsel can definitely tell that it was one very odd-looking pirate ship. Large enough that it can fit a headcount of 20, steel black as the starless sky, it even looked brand new. The weird part was its circular model, resembling a very large ring when viewed from the top; there are also anti-gravity generators on the inner rim of the ship, might be used to carry huge and perishable materials without the risk of damaging it. Judging from how it attacked them earlier, Eilsel guessed that it relied on its silence in flight to fly towards and trap their target inside the anti-generator ring to prevent it from escaping, like how it did to his airship. The pirate ship had a hatch and a retractable tunnel bridge so the pirates can safely enter the airship of their poor victim without being exposed to the vacuum of space. Perhaps the pirates thought there was only one passenger inside Urune or they greatly underestimated it, but even as the tunnel connected the pirate ship to Urune, Eilsel filled his airship with aquamarine smoke. When the airship's hatch opened, the smoke rapidly wrapped around the pirates' heads as they hopelessly screamed and covered their mouths and noses in vain. They dropped dead on the floor in seconds, their bodies jolting from shock. Eilsel willed the smoke to fill the entire ring-like pirate ship, immediately killing everyone inside it. That was minutes ago, and now Eilsel was exploring the ship one last time to see if he missed anything worth salvageable. O'Gun was on his heels, gleefully chomping and eating on the pirates' corpses along with their clothes and weaponry. The pirate ship was still filled with Eilsel's toxic fumes as he explored. His hunch was right, this ring-like ship was stolen. While its interior was formal and classy-looking, litters of 'man garbage' was splattered around the floor: reeking pieces of used clothing, spoiled leftovers, weird looking and smelling liquid sprayed across its walls. Eilsel willed the toxic fumes to become acidic and burn a hole through each of the closed doors he hadn't opened before. He was disappointed to find out they were only the pirates' sleeping chambers. [color=aquamarine]"O'Gun, there's still more here if you are still hungry!"[/color], he called out. O'Gun happily bounded over to the chambers and ate every single dead pirate. Disappointed that he couldn't find anything interesting left, Eilsel went to the control room of the stolen ship and, after failing to understand the ship's controls, burned all the buttons with acidic fumes. The ship's alarm blared a system malfunction and was set to self-destruct in 90 seconds. Eilsel quickly ran back to Urune and scooped O'Gun just as he was about to bite on its next meal. He was relieved to see the anti-gravity generator turned off when he went inside his airship. He closed the hatch and quickly flew away from the stolen ship. Only when Urune was far away that the stolen ship exploded. Eisel continued to fly after that, O'Gun burping loudly and sleeping on the floor next to Eilsel's legs. He chuckled and rubbed its head. He studied his map and found the nearest planet to where they are, Terersg, and set Urune on autopilot towards the planet as he went to his chambers to wash off the smell of man garbage off his body. A few moments later, Eilsel was drinking from canteen, O'Gun at the back playing with one of his toy balls, as he entered the planet. Before he entered Terersg's atmosphere however, he noticed spaceships of the same model flying around the planet which only gave him bad vibes. The feeling of uneasiness didn't leave him as he left Urune with O'Gun inside as he didn't want it to run around aimlessly while he looked around the place.
