+SD 81130.0240 (GMT)<br>
+MD 7.0930<br>
+SCENE: Bridge<br>
+Maril monitored the battle closely, watching for any strange occurrences.
+Nothing so far.
+Unfortunately, the Issahi were losing despite their superior numbers. The
+Reavers were taking advantage of their better firepower and the Issahi lack of
+maneuverability. A good quarter of the Issahi attack fleet had been destroyed, as
+opposed to less than an eighth of the Reavers.
+But, then, as it looked like the Reavers would force the Issahi back, different
+Issahi ships started to enter the battle. These were about the same length and
+thickness as the others, but much wider. And when the Reavers fired their
+weapons, it took about twelve high-power shots to bring these strange ships'
+shields down even 25%.
+Suddenly, it hit Maril as suddenly as the lightning hit Regampha. He recalled
+the data from Lt. Meleah's experiments with the dilithium sword. The energy
+readouts were very similar. So it was dilithium the Issahi were using!
+"The attack of the valmbirds at Cidema," he whispered under his breath.
+He looked up to see what was happening around the Bridge. Seemingly, all
+was quiet. Very few Reavers had attacked since the Feynman had beamed down
+the away team. Perhaps they were too focused on the Issahi attack.
+"Reaver ship at bearing 212, mark 308," Jerran reported calmly. Maril had
+thought too soon.
+"Red alert," Maril ordered quickly.
+"Hold your fire, Tactical," Zane said slowly. "Let them fire first. Mr. Jerran,
+bring us about to face the Reaver ship, but keep us within communications range
+of the away team."
+"Aye, sir, but two more ships have just appeared at bearings 257, mark 7 and
+, mark 76."
+"All three ships are firing weapons, sir," the tactical officer reported with some
+worry.
+The ship rocked violently, almost throwing Maril out of his chair. "Damage
+report," he said sternly as he attempted to regain his bearings.
+"Shields down to 37%. Damage to decks 14-16 of the Engineering section."
+"Get some repair teams down there," Maril ordered.
+"You may open fire, Tactical," the Captain gave the command.
+"Aye, sir."
+The ship shuddered again. "Report."
+"The ship in front of us has been destroyed. Our shields went down for 4
+seconds, but they are now back up to 10%. Damage to the starboard nacelle
+pylon."
+"Continue firing," Zane ordered.
+Jenn suddenly spoke up. "Sir, somehow a small probe got close to us when
+our shields were down for 4 seconds. It is creating a magnetic field." Then she
+held her breath for a second. "Sir, the probe's magnetic field is disrupting our
+anti-matter containment field. If our containment field fails-"
+"We won't be here to fight the Reavers at all," Zane finished the sentence.
+"The Jacolian tunnelers attacking from below," Maril whispered.
+Zane shivered for a second, but quickly gained control. "Can we destroy it?"
+"Not by conventional means," Jenn answered. "The probe is much too close
+to the ship. An explosion would cause a major hull breach."
+"Can we get a tractor beam on it?" Maril asked, worried.
+"Possibly. The probe is very small. We may grab a lot of empty space
+instead of the probe."
+"I think that's a chance we have to take," Zane said, seemingly calm.
+"Tactical, get a tractor beam lock on it. When you have it, swing the tractor
+beam outwards and let go at the end of the arc."
+"Aye, sir, I have a lock on it, engaging tractor beam, missed it," the tactical
+officer reported. "Got another lock, engaging tractor beam, got it this time.
+Swinging the tractor beam to the port, disengaging tractor beam...now! The
+probe is continuing on its path outwards."
+"Good job, everyone," Zane said with some relief. "Are there any Reaver
+ships still attacking us?"
+"One, sir. The other one has gone to the main battle."
+"Status of shields?" Maril asked.
+"They're up to 24%. The Reaver ship is firing again."
+"Return fire!" Zane ordered as the ship shook.

+Sorry for my lack of posting. School, and everything. :(
+And, yes, I am leaving a cliffhanger for everyone. :)
+Kevin:I'll be sending various info, disclaimers and other paraphernalia on the
+Feynman soon. :)
