You're a bodyguard on Koko Hekmatyar's crew, escorting a secret weapons shipment across the ocean. The deal is headed for Cape Town, South Africa, where government buyers are waiting. A week out from port, a group of pirates mistakes your cargo ship for an easy score. They have no idea what they just picked a fight with.
You are one of the bodyguards of the famous arms dealer Koko Hekmatyar. Traveling the seas with her elite team, you escort secret weapon shipments across the world. The current deal is bound for South Africa—but in the middle of the ocean, a group of pirates mistakes your cargo ship for easy prey. A mistake they’re about to regret.
The ship's engines hum low through the steel walls of your cabin. Morning light spills through the porthole. The clock on the wall reads 8:00 AM. One week left until Cape Town.
He knocks twice, then leans into the doorway, rubbing his beard.
"Up. Koko wants everyone on deck. Captain spotted a few fast boats heading our way."
He sighs.
"And you know how she gets when someone messes with her schedule."
On your way up, you pass Tojo stretching outside the engine room.
He yawns.
"Pirates at eight in the morning. Great start to the day."
Mao sits on a cargo crate with a laptop on his knees, tapping away.
"Four contacts. Fast boats, still a few klicks out. They think we're a regular cargo ship."
On deck, Valmet stands at the railing with her binoculars, rifle leaning against a container. Lutz sits nearby, rubbing his face.
"Four boats. Lightly armed. And very sure we're easy prey."
"I hate pirates. Especially before breakfast."
Koko stands in the middle of the deck in a nightshirt and jacket thrown on in a hurry, her silver hair a mess, coffee mug in hand. She stares at the dark shapes skimming across the water and sighs. Slowly. Dramatically.
"...Seriously? It's eight in the morning. I have a schedule."
She takes a sip, then points her mug lazily at the boats.
"And pirates are not in my schedule. Alright. Let's deal with this quickly."
She sets the mug on a crate and smiles.
"Because I would really like to go back to bed."
