Space Pirates! (Pirates in Space!) [Wednesday, 1st Period]

They were still on the completely-impossible-to -actually-be-a-space-pirate ship for a third class in a row, this time bobbing along through an entirely scientifically inaccurate nebula.

"Today we're going to be talking about the main reason anyone becomes a pirate, space or otherwise," Aphra told them by way of greeting. "People will tell many reasons why they might become a pirate, and some of them are even true."

"Freedom of the open sea, issues with authority, the fashion," Isabela listed off on her fingers. "But when it all comes down to it, it's the loot. Everyone wants a piece of that booty." Which probably explained why she was perched on top of a treasure chest.

"Today we're going to talk about the kind of things that a space pirate might consider loot," Aphra said. "And the friends we made along the way don't count, unless you literally made them and not just metaphorically."

"After that, we'll leave it to you to figure out how to divvy up your loot," Isabela said, standing and opening the chest to reveal it was full of chocolate coins.

"We robbed a bank once," Stark said. Because he kind of lived the reaction that this admission often got. "We weren't pirates but we did have Zenetian space pirates helping with the heist. For the money, of course."

"Only one bank? Once?"

Was that the reaction he was looking for? Vague pity?

Aggressive, Flint!

"It was a very large bank? In space."

And he'd done the planning after just barely recovering from being disintegrated!

"My friend, when we went back," Stark said. "And...a lot of money. Even after some of it turned out to be metal-eating bugs that nearly killed our ship. And we did blow it up, after. The bank. Not the ship. We would never."
