"BANZAI!"
Board them when they hit us!
"¡NO PASARÁN!"
While he's struggling with the rat, punch the marine and take the sword from him, and shoot hit him with the sword.
"HAKKA PÄÄLLE!"
Hack down anyone coming behind him, kill them all dead.

+1, as they say, God has a hard-on for Marines because they kill everything we see.

RAK-BUL MAIMS

As they approach your starship, you grab another rat from the floor, and begin rushing towards there estimated breaching location, past the cloning bay and the armory, and straight in. you wait patiently, holding the rat in such away that instead of biting you, it will bite the wall. Thuum emanates from the wall ahead of you, and you get ready! Finally, the wall is breached and you see the *Space marine* in their space grade powered armor, and you throw your second rat at him, he screeches in tower and drops his sword, attempting to run away, to no avail. You pick up the sword.

"¡NO PASARÁN!"

You Charge and barge, cleaving into the first sentient you see, in this case, a severely knocked out marine on the floor, with a distinct lack of  rat bites. He is cleaved into two.  After a full thirty minutes of killing the entire fifty man team of boarding shuttle, you come to a stop. your mechanists coveralls are drenched in three various shades of blood, and you note that your comm headset is screaming as to why your not manning your demined rail gun. You also note the fact that there is a cowering space suited technician, likely a cowardly alien, who also has a tailless rat  in his hands.  You think the other rat is probably eating a corpse.

What should you do about the two rats, the fact that the counter boarding team (good guys) should arrive soon, the massive amounts of loot around the place, your blood drenched unpowered clothing, and of course, your unattended railgun?

[Kassire]

Let the rats do what rats do, and walk back to our rail gun like a good little marine, stating to our officer over comms with the following "Sir, there was a threat close to me and it was dealt with sir!"

Never was a glorious job

The tailless rat is taking mercy to the cowering alien, as the alien is administering pettings.

Tell them that we've killed the shuttle's entire complement except for a prisoner that we're taking with us until someone collects it, and where the hell is the counter-boarding team that never showed up - Sir?

Getting back to the railgun.

Casually hauling the poor shivering alien out of the compartment, you adventure back to your railgun room, on the way, finding the Counter boarding team, when you ask why they haven't cleared that specific pod, they said that some maniac was clearing it out for them. You comm to your deck leader and tell them that you were dealing with the alien boarders, about two hallways down. the leader stutters for a bit, and then asks your "crazy murderous ass" to get back to your railgun room. by the time you get back, your pretty sure the alien has soiled himself, can't really tell because of the EVA suit and all, and the railgun seems to be already primed for priming, for some reason.

What do you do now?

[Kassire]

Attempt to place the alien into the railgun, load a pellet behind them, and fire it at the warship.

[vkiNm]

Guys,

what if..

What if we load lots of pellets into the gun and shoot it at the warship like a long-ranged rail buckshot?

guys, lets not be overly brutal/stupid here. The rats survived the trip because space rats are like cockroaches. they just don't die no matter what you do to them. The alien is definitely not a space rat. they would die before impact, wasting a perfectly good captive.
Meanwhile, loading multiple pellets at one time would rip the railgun to shreds. We could load something akin to a shotgun shell (a cluster of smaller pellets and a explosive charge in a casing) launch that, and then detonate the charge once it is close to/hits the enemy battleship. Speaking of that, lets not waste time targeting it and agree that's the next biggest problem.

Force the alien to eat multiple rail gun pellets and then fire him from the rail gun.

Yeah, this

[Maegil]

No, it's a prisoner.

It has more value for the intelligence people than as ammunition - and if it hasn't, we can suggest it to them in front of it, which I believe would make information retrieval so much easier...
Anyway, no.
