But interesting and unusual storyline. Yes, very unusual.
Interesting Pete, who was super whitebread through college, and able to get through FBI security clearance, knew how to get in contact with pirates. One whiff of that at his work and he would have lost that clearance. I guess if you want revenge enough you take chances you normally wouldn’t.
About that HIV blood injection; it would have to be from an O-negative (universal donor) person, otherwise you would have risked anaphylactic shock, in seconds if not minutes, since the injection was intravenous. You should have made just a simple intramuscular injection, or just said “he was injected with some HIV+ blood”, and skipped the technical bit.

When I read this paratrooper will kill you, I don't think being serious was ever the intent. What's next, are you going to put on your robe and wizard hat?
But the ending and the use of a human choice and not a damn plot device to get to it was good. The length of conflict wasn't unnecessarily long. So, the best way to reconcile this with reality is that this is a joke.
