Transferring all the pirates from the captured ‘Iron Sunrise’ to Eolar’s ship, the ‘Pride of St Cuthbert’, Mendez feels the knot in his stomach unravelling.
The pirate prisoners are Eolar’s problem now.
Taking the minimum crew able to effectively pilot the ship, Wer, Chen and Mendez drop back from Eolar, Elogyn, Thesis and Durin.
Keeping Eolar’s ship in sight, Mendez watches Wer contentedly puffing on her pipe and Chen in quiet meditation.
Finally Mendez’ jaw relaxes.

"Iron Sunrise"? Has Dag been reading Charles Stross?
Good book, though, I do hope we don't get hit by an anti-matter explosion that has gone through some kind of worm-hole thing.
As long as the next ship isn't called Singularity Sky, you should be fine...
