Just reading the story of the scarab again,
So, Hank and Johansen are manning 2 turrets, and there are other gunners: at least 2, since it's in plural, and probably more, since they constitute "most of the crew".
Or is there any question about the Scarab being a Drayman? Certainly it wouldn't be a Galaxy or an Orion, and certainly wouldn't be a Paradigm... Are there any other cargo ships in WC?
I assumed command, sent most of the crew back to their guns and the rest to restoring our maneuverability. This was too big a job for our one repair droid.
Outside, three Talons still circled us, two of them damaged. I knew that, given our condition, we couldn't do much to them but there had to be something. Switching power from guns to shields, I resolved to use the ship's bulk as her defense. It didn't take long for a Retro to make the mistake of flying directly in front of us. I engaged afterburners and sent the Scarab's weighty prow through the tiny ship. I had the comm lines open and shouted orders into the air.
"I'm taking the shields down. Hank and Johansen use the extra power to blast those freaks. Everyone else hold your fire. On my mark. NOW!"
