The olive-skinned first mate, Mr. Kahir, says, "We don't."

He looks to Darrius. "Captain, I'm sure from what we know and what we've seen that a monstrosity as well-known as this has the advantage when it comes to attrition. Looking at the other ships is proof of this. I recommend we set up an away team to scout as we can, starting with that hulk a couple hundred yards away. If there is a mother, and her children come out at night. I think that means she is vulnerable in the day, even if only a little bit. We can't hack our way out, so let's hack our way in."
