Chapter 148: Pirates Part 4

Miho walked to the shuttle bay part of the ship and Zell followed her closely behind. Skel and his mother and Yun were left waiting, still on the pirate vessel with the federation's guns pointed at them.

The shuttle they were taking was around the size of Skel's ship. "This is just a shuttle." Zell said. "It's a full-sized ship."

Each shuttle is capable of reaching Sublight five, faster than any pirate ship can catch."

"What is a sublight?" Zell asked out of curiosity, having not heard that phrase before.
