Lt. Cmdr. Maril glared at the fleet of ships on the main viewscreen as | |||
they approached the relatively puny USS FEYNMAN. "Hail them again, Mr. | |||
Ein," he said to the AOPS. | |||
"Channel open, sir." | |||
"How dare you threaten us under a flag of truce, when in fact it was your | |||
own people who invited us here!" | |||
The Cesphalian captain looked even angrier as he came back on the screen | |||
and said, "It was not `my people' who invited you here, Commander. You | |||
have been given more than fair warning, now you will be destroyed!" | |||
The FEYNMAN rocked violently as the lead Cesphalian sent in a volley of | |||
energy beams. "Shields down to 75 percent, Commander!" shouted the CSO. | |||
Lt. Koreth got back to his seat from where he was thrown by the shot and | |||
said, "Structural integrity field down to 90 percent." | |||
"Mr. Jerran, get us out of the area, best possible speed." | |||
"Thrusters have been hit, sir, but I'll get us out," said the pilot as he | |||
pulled the ship around a little bit faster than the design specs dictated | |||
as safe, and brought up the impulse drive to full power. | |||
"We can't just leave the Captain and the others, sir!" yelled Mr. Charles. | |||
"We're not leaving anyone behind, Mr. Charles. Mr. Jerran. Plot a warp | |||
jump that will take us around the system, out of the Cesphalian's scanner | |||
range, and then back on the other side. I want you to come back out of | |||
warp as close as possible to the system's primary. We'll then engage the | |||
metaphasic shield and loiter there till we get a chance to come back | |||
after the captain, Lt. Jenn, and Dr. Tok." | |||
By the time the FO was done giving his instructions, the helmsman had | |||
already plotted the course into the nav computer. "Course plotted and | |||
laid in, sir." | |||
Another shot hit the aft shields as Cmdr. Maril said, "Warp 9, engage!" | |||
The warp drive nacelles of the Feynman pivoted into their warp flight | |||
position as the ship shot off into warp speeds. | |||
