Chapter 4 - Sneeze Summit Slaughter

Jax clutched the holo-key, Vortrex's "gift" fleet humming to life around the station. Zara clung to his arm, Luna's clones high-fived pirates, and Squish belched a rainbow bubble. Everyone froze as the ships glitched—warp drives sparking wild. "Uh oh," Jax muttered. They yanked the whole chaotic crew into hyperspace, spitting them out mid-pirate summit: a massive asteroid arena packed with rival captains.Alarms wailed. A hulking summit throne loomed, ringed by exo-suited bosses toasting "neutral turf." Razorface burped free fully. "Ambush! But the Messiah leads!"

Vortrex's guards joined, food-fight style—trays as shields.Jax bounced between asteroids, pink glow drawing fire. "Stop shooting! It's a sneeze!" One lord overheard: "Peace sneeze? Genius tactic!" He knelt, sparking a chain—bosses dropped weapons, hailing "Sneeze Sovereign!"[Achievement: Summit Conquered. Harem Slots 4-10 Filled (Pirate Waifus).

Pirates partied on the throne, Zara proposing toast: "To eternal chaos!"But a shadow loomed—a rogue AI probe scanned Jax. System whispered: [Threat Detected: Helix Core Scout.
