USS Hood: Bridge
"Target their weapon systems and fire!" Cedria shouted.
Acting Helmsman Hal Baker let out a whoop of joy as he savagely jabbed at the fire control system.  It was the first time he had ever fired the ships main weapons in anything other then target practice and he enjoyed every second of it. The procedure was the same as it always had been but this time the ship shuddered as it sent forth the deadly fire.  The bridge reverberated with the sound of the awesome discharge and most spectacularly he could see the damage that HOOD’s main weapons, that he himself, had inflicted on the enemy vessel.  As far as Baker was concerned there was no better moment then this.
**Order the torpedoes, order the torpedoes!** He prayed silently as he pictured them ripping the enemy cruiser apart.  Enemy cruiser!  He was taking apart a CONSITUTION class heavy cruiser.  How many people could say that?
The order for phasers came again and this time it was while he was taking HOOD into a steep bank for an optimal spread of the forward batteries.  Just like the Book said to.  This was it; this was his chance!  He jabbed the fire button again as he peered into the targeting computer.  Another devastating hit.
Finally who ever was in command of TSS HOOD pulled themselves together enough to return fire.  Hal held onto his console, his euphoria begin to fade as he watched the return phaser fire streak towards….with little effect.  Another whoop of joy.
Zade gave the fire order again. "Target their impulse engines and fire."
With a predatory grin Hal swung HOOD about to allow both fore and aft port phaser batteries to fire.  A full broadshide smashed through TSS HOOD’s impulse drive.
And then it was all over.  “Hold fire.”  Came the order. Hal wanted to object still in the heat of the moment.  Fortunately Cedria’s cooler head prevailed. "We still have people aboard that ship."

Just getting in the HELM’s POV…man, I think we need to get this slot filled.  This guy has issues!
Respectfully,
