Spacedawg, crouched behind a fallen beam, narrowed his eyes. “Not a chance,” he replied, his voice firm and unyielding.
Weapons fire erupted, a cacophony of blaster bolts and energy beams lighting up the dim corridor. Spacedawg and his team returned fire with precision, their training and experience evident in their every move.
The gunmen had not anticipated facing the infamous Spacedawg PaulyBirth Name: PaulyCurrent Alias: Spacedawg PaulySpecies: Human-Canine HybridDate of Birth: February 22, 1973Place of Birth: Washington, D.C., United States, Earth, Sol SystemOccupations: Former Chef, Brewer, Distiller, Garden Worker, Apprentice Cobbler; Current First Mate on the Mandoleer's Folly, Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Space Cavalry (RCSC) Overview Spacedawg Pauly is a unique entity whose life story spans both Earth and the... and his elite crew. As the firefight raged on, it became clear they were outmatched. The sound of battle gradually subsided, leaving a heavy silence in its wake.
When the smoke cleared, only two wounded gunmen remained, clutching their blasters with shaking hands. They saw Spacedawg’s silhouette through the haze, and a look of fear and awe washed over their faces.
The gunmen were out of ammo, their weapons clicking uselessly. Spacedawg’s team quickly surrounded them, weapons drawn but restrained.
One of the gunmen, a young man with a ragged beard, glanced at his partner. “Can you believe it? We’re being arrested by Captain Spacedawg.”
His partner, a wiry man with a scar across his cheek, nodded enthusiastically. “I know! I’ve got all the Spacedawg action figures at home.”
Spacedawg raised an eyebrow, his usual stern expression softened by curiosity. These two were clearly not hardened criminals. “Drop your weapons,” he ordered.
The gunmen complied immediately, dropping their blasters and raising their hands in surrender. Spacedawg stepped forward, his team maintaining their vigilance.
“You made it easy to capture you,” Spacedawg remarked, cuffing the young man.
The bearded gunman winced as the cuffs tightened around his wrists. “We didn’t sign up for this. We were just hired to kidnap Henry. We don’t even know who the client is. The only ones who knew are dead.”
The scarred man nodded. “Yeah, they were real hosers, treated us like dirt. We never even fired our weapons. They weren’t loaded. We were just supposed to look menacing.”
Spacedawg’s eyes narrowed. “If what you say can be verified, it should take a considerable amount of time off your sentences.”
The young man’s eyes widened with a glimmer of hope. “Thank you, Captain. We just want out of this mess.”
Spacedawg turned to his team. “Take them to the holding area on the Mandoleer’s Folly. I may have follow-up questions.”
As the gunmen were led away, Spacedawg turned to Henry, who had watched the entire exchange with a mix of amusement and relief.
“Looks like you attract quite the crowd, Henry,” Spacedawg remarked.
Henry chuckled, brushing dust off his suit. “You certainly know how to make an impression, old friend.”
Spacedawg nodded. “Let’s get you back to the Folly. We need to figure out who’s behind this.”
As they made their way back to the Mandoleer’s Folly, the weight of the situation hung heavy in the air. The attack had been thwarted, but questions remained unanswered. Who had orchestrated this attempt on Henry’s life, and what were their ultimate goals?
Back on the ship, Spacedawg and his team began to piece together the puzzle. The captured gunmen, despite their limited knowledge, provided some clues. But the true mastermind behind the plot was still out there, and Spacedawg was determined to find them.
In the meantime, security around Henry was tightened.
