K'Rin stumbled out of bed and ran to the bridge pulling on her shirt. She arrived just as another missile rocked the ship. She slipped into the weapons station just as Cy and another woman – Cheeb by the look of her – stepped onto the bridge. Cy headed imminently for the pilot's chair as the woman called out, “Status?”
"Ma'am!" Airyn yelled. "Shields at 80%, and falling, life support: operational, weapons: operational, navigation: operational, no hull breaches as yet."
"I don't know who you are lady, and I don't know why you're being fired upon but you look like you're in charge,” K'Rin said with vigor. “Just say the word and I'll blow 'em to t'other side of the galaxy!"
"Well Ma'am, do we run or do we fight?" inquired Cy, calmly as he took his station at the helm. Yn moved to the center of the bridge. "Aya, what is Athan's status? Is he aboard yet?"
"Not yet Ma'am. We have to lower the shields to allow him in."
Athen? K'Rin though, Nah, it couldn't be. There must be millions of people with that name. But still...
Yn nodded, "Okay, What's their status?"
"Full weapons, full shields…" suddenly there was a horrific 'bleep'. "Dammit Kez! This is no time for games!" Airyn yelled and thumped her console. There was a curse from the front of the bridge.
"Ma'am, navigation has just gone off-line, switching to manual." Cy reported.
"Suggestions!?" Yn yelled. K'Rin though for a moment.
"Hey," she called. "Kez is smaller and more agile than that boat. If Cy can take us as close as possible, I could get a lock on the underside of their ship. At that position they won't be able to touch us, and it'll give us an opportunity to distract them while we run."
"Good idea. Cy, implement evasive maneuver pattern Beta 02. Aya, drop shields as soon as we are in place, and Athen's in. K'Rin lock on to their weapons, and fire on my mark." As Cy swung the ship, K'rin set up her shot and noticed a tiny blip on her radar indicating an incoming single person craft.
"In place." Cy called.
"Airyn, on my mark drop the shields,” said the mysterious Cheeb. “Athen, you are go for penetration, in 3, 2, 1... Mark!"
"Target locked." called K'Rin.
"He's in! Shields raised."
"Fire!." called Yn. K'Rin was not slow to respond; her dancing finger found its mark and released a missile of blazing fury. "Cy? Now we run." Yn said, and the pilot did so.
"Full reverse thrusters implemented, getting us out of here ASAP, please sit back and enjoy the ride!" he said grinning, as he bore them away at full speed.
