hmm...depending on where they were in history, there might be able to stay...
i.e if they were said to disapear and only the wreckage of their ship was ever found, or something...

"I lived through Cromwell and the Restoration. I am well glad of it." He raises his coilgun as I destroy a patrolling robot. "I don't suppose that I could prevail upon you to permit us the continued use of these arabesques once this affair is over, could I?"

"Not a chance."

Well, that's certainly the most verbose 'Can I keep it?' I've ever read.

"Bit late for that. In answer to your question, Captain, this is not English territory. Britain conquered all French and Spanish territory in North America before losing most of it to a revolt by the colonials. We're presently in Rhode Island."

Britain only conquered a portion of French territory, plus Spanish Florida(though that would change hands many times before finally becoming American territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase). We colonials purchased the rest from Napoleon and conquered much of the formerly Spanish territory from Mexico.

Xenomorphs, to the best of my knowledge, have never used guns of any description. Might you be thinking of the Predators/Yautja?

No. In Aliens: Genocide, the fire control practice of the marines when fighting Aliens was to aim for either their heads or their legs. Heads to kill with minimal acid splatter, legs to slow them down and make hitting the head easier.

Orange beams blast for their centres of mass while the railgun tracks them xenomorph style, head shots to kill and leg shots to impair mobility.

Not really a typo, but should this be "predator" style? I think the predators are the alien guys who go around hunting people for sport and the xenomorphs are the monster bugs that lay eggs in people. There's also some kind of Smart Gun that the humans use but I'm not sure if that's what you were reffering to in this sentence.

Edit: I see the question was already asked.

That should probably be "which".
I think that should be "bear".

I can't put my finger on it but this doesn't feel right. Possibly "the" instead of "then".

Thank you, corrected.

Didn't Paul say earlier in the story that the stiff upper lip thing came about in response to the horrors of World War I?

Yes. Captain Fortune's a bit unusual. It comes of being constantly surrounded by pirates.
 
So yeah, Ambush Bug continues his track record of being a colossal douchebag by dumping a group of 17th-century privateers into the modern day under false pretenses*, handing them weapons they almost certainly don't really know proper maintenance/use procedures for, and assuming that nothing would go wrong and leave one of them dead, traumatized, seriously injured, or temporally stranded.

I propose that OL have Constantine find a way of siccing those imaginary characters on the bastard; he's probably meta enough for that to work.


* And yes, not telling the men you're hiring that you expect them to be fighting mystical superbeings in the future very much counts as not being honest.
