Limit Theory Exquisite Corpse Game

Welcome to the Limit Theory "Exquisite Corpse" project! It is currently your turn.
You have a space of 3000 characters maximum, and must use at least 750.

Number of entries so far: 1

DO NOT REFRESH THE PAGE! If you do, it will lock you out for the next thirty minutes.

Rules:

You have 30 minutes, starting the moment you loaded this page.
Continue the previous person's vision for the story to the best of your ability.
In accordance with the above, don't "abort" what the previous person said.
(In other words, don't try to start fresh, or switch the topic to make a new strand of the story. This is also considered "being random")
Do not try to "close" or "end" the story. Remember that someone else will take a turn after you.
You are only allowed ONE turn. After you click "submit", do not reload the page again. Close the tab and go, or you'll be locking other people out too.
After one week, Talvieno will post the results to the forum.
(If you try to be stupid, random, or silly, you run a high risk of disqualification.)

Here is the last 25% of the previous person's piece. Use it to try to continue their story the way you think they would have continued it:

soon make out the Scathecrow emblem on the sides of their ships: the silhouette of a blood-red crow beneath three diagonal gashes.

And then it happened: As if response to an unheard order, the three pirates began turning upwards towards him. Hraden immediately let loose, his proton beams slicing forwards across the nearest ship, its shields shimmering, ripppling, dimming under the assault. At the last second, he switched full power to his thrusters and swerved, narrowly missing his target as he sped past in a blur.
