screams, groans, confused padding
footsteps, to make the moment one of
a nightmare. The boarding party stood
at bay, not daring to venture from the
spot on which they had landed, firing
steadily but with discretion.
Huddled together like children in
fear of the powers of darkness, the
three held their fire against the inev-

fearfully by their absolute ignorance

body like log into the midst of the
