Absolutely which is why the scenario was set up to "artificially" create a situation where the ship is alone(ish) and immobile, allowing all the beligerents in the area a "too-good-to-miss" oportunity.

I guess if you're Somali in this scenario, you could refuge in the ole adage: "Everybody gotta die sometime." I think it was Barnes in the movie Platoon.

It will be fun after you get it solved.
