Because he can't stop himself from making a movie reference, the theme of this year's Prom is "Enchantment Under the Sea". (Don't get too freaked out, Marty McFly.) Equipment has been moved out, seating has been set near tables and walls, and a makeshift stage has been constructed to host the DJing equipment. There's plenty of food and drinks - including spiked, and very-much-not-spiked punch (magically protected, thanks to Ilsa). In a corner is a small set up for people who wish to get their photos taken by Tsukasa.

The party is under way - have yourselves a good time, Mayfield!

Nah. I'm not the usual sort of space pirate. Unless you've got Zangyack ties, you're pretty much off my radar.

So what sort of space pirate are you? Because the space pirates I know attack human settlements, kill most of the population and use the rest for slave trade.

[sumofallreds]

Pirates like that can rot on the end of my sword. Piracy is about freedom...not mass murder and slavery.

We may steal and cause damage, but it's ultimately for a good cause.

[the_end_run]

And what sort of good cause is that?

[sumofallreds]

Bringing down a tyrannical bunch of monsters bent on ruling the universe.

[And at the same time getting the Greatest Treasure in the Universe...but she doesn't need to know that.]

My crew and I seem to be the only ones that can currently stand up to them.

[the_end_run]

A man I knew did what he thought was the best for the galaxy; he ended up killing humans and aliens, and nearly got the entire Terminus System invaded. Because he could work outside regulations, the Alliance military couldn't detect that he was working with the enemy until it was too late.

I've got nothing against freedom, but you need someone to regulate, or there's no telling what a person can do.

[sumofallreds]

Believe me...you don't want THESE guys ruling you. They've slaughtered BILLIONS in their conquest of everything in their path. They're power-mongers. They don't care about freedom, culture, or governing. The just RULE.

And if it wasn't for us, Earth would probably have fallen to them by now.

[the_end_run]

I'm not saying you're not doing the right thing by taking these monsters on. What I'm saying is that you shouldn't resort to piracy to do it.

[sumofallreds]

With no supplies, they can't send out attack parties. Without bases, they have to spend resources on rebuilding, rather than further invasions. And without using an army on our part, we save lives and keep innocent planets out of it.

Plus: it symbolizes our dreams: to live free and not be under somebody's boot. We do what we want, and if people look down on us because of it...so what?

[the_end_run]

What about the innocents who get hurt? Not everyone working under tyrants have a choice. It's either that, or starve.

[sumofallreds]

Considering the main faction of their army has either been forcibly reconfigured into Goumin or are from Zangyack's home world itself, I don't see the problem.
