Ambushes and Pirates and Dragon
We were heading back to Serenity's Reach when we received a distress Beacon. Captain Debreu decided to answer the beacon and eventually we realize that we were in some kind of trap.
Once we turned about we realize that we were on a heading with a debris field which would make full speed acceleration near impossible. Captain had Dee clear a path through the debris; we took advantage of the explosions and cloaked up, taking a tactically advantageous position under the Klehnaki raider. Dee diver off the ship into the aether and transforms into a dragon. Upon seeing him the pirates surrender, but the captain of the pirates has a little fight left in him. He sets off a self-destruct sequence which causes everybody to backpedal followed by launching a MOAB which is typically used to give pirates time to retreat from oncoming Capital ships. They open fire on the bomb causing significant damage to the pirate ship, D goes back and disables the aether screw and they leave the Pirates to their fate.
Tomalandarian, now realizing that Dee is the Dragon, still has no like for him. Maybe even less than before.
Upon arriving at Serenity's Reach, we eventually learn that the entire story has been masterfully skewed by the pirates, making them look like they were the attacking raiders and that the dragon story was a cover up or a ruse.
Toma cannot get off of the ship fast enough but is sent back by her people, ostensibly to work with the crew but also to lay low.
