The SSRS Kostroma lies idle in the southeastern bay of Mended Horn Island. Only the front portion, the two forward masts and the front of the superstructure that sits in the center of the freighter's hull, is illuminated by a pair of dim lights that glow orange-red, a sure sign that the boilers of the Kostroma are dying, and the lights will soon go off. The remainder of the ship's funnel, and the mast behind the superstructure are visible only in silhouette. The gibbous moon and starry night that would have provided a clear backdrop to the black hulk of the Kostroma have been smothered by the overcast skies and light rain.
A sound comes, not from the Kostroma, and indeed, not from anywhere at all. A low, vaguely tinnitus-like sound that drains out the sound of silence. It calls to you. It calls to everyone.
"Come to the Kostroma, good soldier. Join us here. Come."

Posey doesn't say anything because she is trying not to vomit, but she points ahead to the boat.

Silver doesn't actually know. What he does know is: it's too small to be a proper destroyer or frigate, it seems to have... torpedo tubes? Guns? No national markings are visible.

It's design is low in the water and not exactly consistent with a fishing trawler or cargo ship.

Can we hear gunfire aboard the Kostroma?
Even if that GRU is here, they have clearly not solved that problem.
Full speed ahead either way. We already came this far.
Good to know there's another boat we could steal though.

Cavaliere double checks to make sure his guns are loaded. He also measures up his rope to ensure there's enough to reach the deck, with length to spare.

From the front of the boat, a muzzle flash and tracer fire. It moves across the deck of the boat, with many rounds hitting the "face" of the swan and spraying splinters of wood. Ponies and griffins dive for cover on the otherwise exposed deck of the swanboat.

This is the only direction that's been given to the boat and it's going to get us all killed. Can we please move evasively away from this?

Kira starts screaming and holding her hooves over her head. Silver is the first to react with aiming his rifle up towards the direction of the incoming fire and shooting.

Silver's bullet must hit near the gunner, given a static charge, but seems to deflect off of a cover
>>193092
They probably could, even if eventually they'd succumb to machine gun fire. The bigger issue is that the front most portion is lower and does not provide such cover
>>193094
Posey's arrow may have struck true, hard to say

Maybe this could work, sure. Let's do that. Let's go around the other side to avoid gunfire.

Posey hears many "thuds" and sees green lights travel to either side at very, very high velocity.

Blackheel:
"If you can't handle a few pirates who haven't even gotten to their big guns yet, you are not fit to fight a god"
Blackheel leans over the edge of the boat, and shoots at the other boat with his pistol
"Идите на меня, никчёмные бандиты! Прыгай в воду, если хочешь жить!"

Turning the boat brings the... port side to the boat? The wings face it
The boat is slow, so it will be in the line of gunfire for a bit of time

We have the machine gun from the airplane. Could we set it up on the gunwales so we can at least shoot back with equivalent firepower?

Silver: "ЕБАТЬ!"
Blood start running rapidly out of Silver's neck. Being a combat medic, he immediately checks Steppe Eagle for a pulse.
