After quite a bit of discussion the majority of you decides to shoot the ship. Or maybe they didn't, but there weren't any other options when somebody armed the lasers and pointed the ship in the general direction of the craft. Tensions are high, as there's only one chance to get it right. The engines have been powered down, and the drone would surely call for help or fly away if it wasn't hit on the first shot. Second by second creeps past, as the crew waits for the drone to emerge from behind the wrecks.
Suddenly it appears from a slightly different direction than you expected,
... and the first shot goes wide.
...Before you can adjust your aim for the second shot, the drone opens fire with both of it's railguns.
... The first shot misses, but the second one hit's one of the weakened patches
..., plowing right through it. The ship resounds under the impact, as several alarms go off. Luckily the hit room is an unused cargo bay. The drone mustn't have noticed the fact that you can't move, or maybe it hasn't got any combat routines, because it maintains it's position in your line of fire, giving you the chance to get off a another shot
.... It hits the drone right in it's center of mass,
... and it goes silent. After waiting for a moment to check that it isn't a trick, you go on and bring it inside.
Now what do you do. The drone will probably have sent a message, but the aftereffects of the jumps in this sector could have jammed it, and even if it got through, who checks these things anyway. Nevertheless, it is not a good idea to stay here for too long.
If only because the GM might get tempted to drop a spaceliner on top of you.- Corvette wreck. Might contain weaponry
- Cargo ship (cargo bay looks intact, might contain valuables, or not)
- Unidentified Cruiser (Heavily damaged.): Warning, surrounded by mines
-Inner scrapyard: Current location [Illegal to be here]
-Outer scrapyard: A more dangerous place, since ships are actively dumped here and the automated droid patrols make harvesting harder [Illegal to be here]
-Scrapyard borders: Sometimes scrap floats outside of the scrapyard, allowing everyone nearby free pickings.
-Galven III orbital habitation station: The majority of this sector resides here, or on the planet below. Due to the risk of an epidemic and a paranoid governement, planet acces is strongly limited, hence the creation of the orbital hub.
-Galven III Trade hub: This station includes a repair station, and has some governement officials. You probably could get your ship registered here.
-Galven III jump beacon: [ Pirates(seldomly seen)]

This is more popular than I expected it to be. Now get out of the scrapyard.
I'm pretty sure some people might have problems with shooting their ships into space.
Also, we're talking about a 10 meter attack drone here. On made from scrap, actually. It's designed to scare people away, not intercept and destroy cruisers.
The GM is pretty much calling this a mulligan. C'mon guys. take a chance before we get railroaded.
Well, no actually it was a genuine minor fail on the stealth roll.
