'You mean, the ones who work for to support the official AI army? The ones who guard the drone shipments and go hunting for 'human scum'. They were created by your brother?' She tries to hide her look of shock. 

'Your brother invented the unofficial terror of the seas? I don't know what to say. I mean, I'd ask why, if that wasn't too insensitive. One official android army is bad enough without people voluntarily making and contributing their own to bolster the threat. I'm guessing their propaganda got to him, or he was captured and... broken?'

'A horrible person he must be, if you don't mind me saying. Why anyone would want to support the AI regime of mass incarceration and psychological torture is beyond me.'

Just then, the rest of the band begin to show up. *What instruments does your band have, and what is the band called?*

First comes in Kai. He's a rhythm guitarist, and used to be in charge of a group of scavengers. He's a decent guy really, and has a snake tattoo on his arm signifying his allegiance to Captain Draco of the Ninth Serpent (one of the more lawful ships)

*got to go, will be back in a bit*

*I'm back*

Next comes in Cody. He's the bass guitarist, and an expert hacker. He's got a bit of a checkered past, but who hasn't round here?

Then there's Triley, the other rhythm guitarist. Not originally part of the band, he joined recently on a temporary basis when the other guitarist ... disappeared

And then there's Fiver. He's the drummer. He's a very good drummer, and he knows it. He loves nothing better than a massive drum solo to show off his skills. He used to be a member of the Liberty, one of the wealthier pirate ships, but he got into too much trouble

'I'm guessing that's everyone' the bartender, whose name is Kat, says

Triley strums a few chords to his favourite song whilst humming along, Cody plays a riff, Kai runs up and down a scale, and Fiver drowns them all out with the drums

'Hey!' Kai calls out. Fiver, grinning, carries on playing the drums at top volume
