Autoplay at the end
Having hacked the Seagull systems, Cadette Black Beak and Captain Swiftbreeze addressed the other Seagull ship captains to negotiate the terms of their surrender. They had their leader and their flagship, with all its firepower. They did not mention they had also hacked their systems.
The Space Penguins did not want to use any more violence to solve this, but Captain Swiftbreeze had told the Communication Team to enable him to operate the ship's defenses. Should it come to that, he would ground the other Seagulls and then arrest them.
Unknowingly, they had left the Seagull with the implants unattended, who had feigned to be unconscious. When he noticed the Penguins were distracted, he leapt up and clawed his way out.
The captain, being battle hardened, leap gracefully to the side, taking only a wound to his flipper, but his officer didn’t manage to avoid the attack. The vicious Seagull clawed his face and left him on the cold floor, curled in pain.
As he ran away, he yelled “fight them to the end, for a greater galaxy!”. The other Seagulls, emboldened by this, echoed the battlecry "for a greater galaxy!".
The captain had to let the Seagull go, to activate the ships defenses and look after his fellow wounded penguin. All hopes for a peaceful resolution were gone and Captain Swiftbreeze prepared to open suppressive fire on the other Seagull ships.
