Y'Tar pulls the wheel hard right, and the ship turns just as hard, aimed for a planet down below.
*WHOOSH* The Sinful Ones' ship dives into the atmosphere at full speed.
*WHOOSH* The pilot-less ship dives in after them.
The turbulence stops as the ship breaks through the thick upper layers, and the clouds clear to reveal a shining city bustling with people.
"Wait, those aren't people," Verde says over Y'Tar's shoulder.
V'Bar gets up from the couch and looks out the windows.
"Are those robots?"
Y'Tar has the ship swerve left, and those standing get tossed at the right side of the ship.
"Brother!" V'Bar shouts. "Give us warning!"
"No time!" he shouts back. "That ship is still coming!"
"I don't think it has weapons," V'Mar says. "It would've opened fire on us out in space if it did."
"I think we should land!" Ruby says as she clutches to Y'Tar. "Neither ship has weapons, and we might be able to get the robotic natives to help us stop that ship."
"Doubt it," Y'Tar says, "but it's not like there's a place we can hide."
Y'Tar lands the ship in an open street like it's a runway, and the robotic citizens scatter out of the way as it screeches to a halt.
The five of them bail out as the pilotless ship flies by overhead. It continues on its way without turning back.
"Wait, where is it going?" V'Mar asks aloud. "We're right here."
The robots come back, and they all stare at the five Sinful Ones.
"Organics!" they all shout in chorus. With arms outstretched, they move closer and closer and closer, their tiny claws snapping away.
