"A tractor beam from the Imperial ship locked onto the shuttle and in seconds it became apparent they were being hauled in. The tractor was inescapable, and they knew it.

"He's dying!' Doctor Cove, one of the ship's two medical officers told me, looking at his med-scanner as he kneeled at the broken body of the only living Corsair on the black ship. I remember the look on his face as he told me " which seemed more to be puzzlement than actual concern. The man was a Corsair after all, and had injuries I could see, but he was conscious, and none of them looked fatal. But then, I'm no doctor. I never was any good at healing anything " and my job was doing the opposite, and I admit I'm pretty good at it. Always have been."
