The ship itself hadn't sustained widespread damage.
Qin Feng walked to the main console and connected a miniature intelligence core to the pirate ship's system.
"Hammer, take control of this ship."
"Command received, Master."
Hammer's voice resounded in his mind.
"How much longer will the ship's power system hold out?"
"Analysis complete. Power core integrity is at ninety-two percent, and energy reserves are at seventy-eight percent. We can maintain a high-speed pursuit for an estimated twelve hours."
"Good."
Qin Feng's gaze once again turned to the distance. Shi Dang had already produced another small vessel and was rapidly fleeing into the depths of the cosmos. "After him."
"Command confirmed."
The next second, the "Hyena-class" frigate, now under new ownership, roared its engines, came about, and shot off in the direction of Shi Dang's escape, pushing far beyond its designed speed limits in full pursuit!
During the pursuit, Qin Feng issued a second command to Hammer.
