Adventure!

In a masterful display of subtle interrogation techniques, Abara casually drops in to the conversation a description of the approaching ship. One of the uninjured pirates nods along with you and identifies it as their flagship, assuming from your tone that you already knew. "It's near as dammit completely automated," he continues. "Harper doesn't even need a crew to run the thing – pilots it himself."

"Yeah, like I say, it's the flagship. Harper's here to bask in the glory of a job well done." He looks uneasy. "Oh, he is going to be so pissed."

As you carefully explain the reality of the situation, the woman's eyes widen in horror. The other had already started climbing down into the coupler itself, but he had clearly been listening in. You can tell this because, when you begin explaining—in somewhat graphic detail—the inevitable result of an uncontrolled shutdown, you hear shocked swearing from below and he rapidly reappears at the railing, sweating hard.
These two still believe you are pirates and, either way, there's no way they are touching any machinery today. The pirates at the other coupler have been essentially nullified by Abara and Logic, and so the Gate is safe for now. But Harper? From what you've heard, he might not go down without a fight...

Logic and Abara, after securing the pirates, you rendezvous with the Raptor at the nearest airlock. With Logic assisting at the helm you quickly and stealthily skim over the surface of the Gate to an access point where Robo-Barbie and McGunner can join the ship, having successfully dealt with the pirates at their location. Redstone is also now back on board.

As you reconvene on the bridge, updating each other on the events of the last hour or so, you see on the screen the pirate flagship making its final approach. It's enormous. It appears to be made up of many smaller craft crudely welded together; the residue of laser impacts streak the hull and you can make out more serious damage from missile impacts dotted all over the ship's superstructure.
