Last year you were just an ordinary bum on the street, but then the planetary government went and conscripted you into their exploration service. After a six month training program you are ready. You get given your assignment, find a rare metal, rumored to exist on a distant planet, and bring it back. But, right before you set out, you learn that the governments of other planets as well as space pirates are also after this metal, you must beat them to it.

You open a com line to the pirate, "And what you fail to realize is my ship is dragging mines!" Then you pass him and the missiles hit him, killing the shields, but you got hit too.

Pirate Lord Energy Sword, 3ft. long, but a little unwieldy compared to yours.
You hit his ship and watch it explode. You think you have won when the environment disappears and you end up on the surface of a planet facing him. He produces an energy sword and charges at you. What do you do? (no guns allowed)

You try to, but he is stronger then you expected, and almost pushes your blade into your head before you pull back. You can't win a contest of strength, so you have to use your wits. What do you do.

You get given your assignment, the unobtainium might be in one of three neighboring systems.
system a, high chance of meeting a space pirate, but planet surfaces are really safe.
system b, there are a few space pirates, but they are not real dangerous, planet surfaces have a good mix of predators and prey.
system c, no space pirates, but planet surfaces are filled with carnivorous plants and animals

I choose system b. On entry I try to keep as silent and try an echoscan for nearby ships. (If I dont have an echoscan I use the radar, if I dont have that then I just look for enemy ships)

Keer Antilles: former privateer, Fighter class ship, high maneuverability; middle damgage and health; low cargo space.
Well, you could have mentioned that before.
"Screw this!" I turn to Zago. "I'm going to strafe them with the Wolf, stick with the plan." I make a run for the Wolf, while firing off a shot at the invaders every so often. When I take off, I'll strafe the troops already on the beach, swing around, then open fire upon the navy. Repeat until drunk, then repeat some more.

You run towards him and dodge when he slams down his sword, you then slam it into the ground, (getting it stuck) and stab him in the gut. While you were busy Damon found another fighter about the same as his previous one. You walk over to the other pod and find the pirate dead and a countdown to destruction of the base and the fighter. What do you do?

You arrive at the system. There are two planets which could have the medal are opposites, one has a high pirate presence, the other has lots of dangerous plants. Which one do you land on?
You scan the space above the planet, the pirate is gone. The metal source might contain the metal you need to repair your ship, and there might be fruits on the plants nearby that are edible. What do you do?
