Rega finally sat down, if only on the edge of the captain's chair on the bridge. She jumped slightly when Jon spoke.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">â€œExcuse me!â€ Jonâ€™s frustrated voice finally erupted out from his long silence, â€œbut I canâ€™t understand a word you are saying! That is my ship out there and I donâ€™t have any idea what the hell you are planning or what anything on here does!â€ After his little outburst, Jon takes a deep breathe to calm down before speaking again. â€œSorry itâ€™s just very frustrating not being able to do anything. So could I be clued in a bit here as the only thing I can figure on help the Elyandra is using your AIâ€™s processing power to help speed up the jump computerâ€™s plotting or trying to jam the Childrenâ€™s sensors to they effectively would be firing blind.â€</span><br/><br/>Rega's face lit up even more. "One or the other? Kit, can't you do both?"<br/><br/>"Affirmitive." he replied sharply.<br/><br/>"Do it."<br/><br/>"Computer link established with the Elyandra. Allocating processor banks 102 to 150 for jump drive calculations." Kit stated, "Phase two: deploying ECM array. Targeting enemy ship. Target jamming initiated."<br/><br/>Before Rega could open her mouth, there was another alarm, "Warning! Enemy ship has engaged in collision course with the Elyandra. Estimated damage would be terminal."<br/><br/>"What? They're ramming them?" Rega exclaimed. "Can't we.."<br/><br/>"It would be unwise to try and block the ship. Doing so would result in the destruction of the Mauna Kea and the destruction of the ether generators on board would cause significant damage to subspace in the area, preventing any faster than light travel for quite some time."<br/><br/>"I have an idea." Dren said. She had forgotten the channel was still open and his motionless helmet finally moved in the small window in the corner of the view screen as he listened intently. The view changed to the group of Paladins darting around in space while they danced together and destroyed various targets. They then converged and shot toward the enemy ship.<br/><br/>"I need your ship to shoot everything you have to drop their shields and kill their engines." Dren said. Rega jumped from her seat and ran to the con to start targeting, but her frustration with the system began to show after a few seconds. She slammed a fist into the smooth glass surface then snapped her fingers with an idea.<br/><br/>"Kit, interface with the Elyandra, copy their weapon control console layout profile and program this console with the same interface, connecting it to our own weapons systems." There was a lengthy pause as the terminal went blank, then reappeared written in English and configured strangely.<br/><br/>"Jon, let's see if you can shoot." she said, gesturing for him to take the controls.<br/><br/>--------------------------------<br/><br/>Dren sped through space, dodging shots and burning mechs and shot towards the bow of the ship. Perfectly timed, there was a shot from all cannons from the Mauna Kea that hit one spot on the shields, penetrating and piercing the armor of the enemy ship. The hole in the shields let the small squad of Paladins through, and he landed the mechs on the hull.<br/><br/>Guns quickly pivoted and pointed at him on the hull but quick firing jets moved out of the way of the massive shot and they closed in, taking out the turrets along the hull that were a threat.<br/><br/>"<Dren, what are you going to do?>" Yuri finally asked. Tapping a few controls, the other remote Paladins took up positions all around the bow of the ship, spread equally apart forming a ring around the bow.<br/><br/>"<Yuri, activate the ether generators of all squad members and expand hyperspace bubble as far as it will reach around this section of the ship.<br/><br/>"<It will never reach to cover the whole ship! Are you trying to jump this ship away from the Elyandra or something?!>"<br/><br/>"<No, just the front half...>" he replied casually. There was a pause and a devious grin formed on Yuri's holographic face.<br/><br/>"<This is evil. I almost pity these people.>" she replied.<br/><br/>"<I know it's bad to kill so many, but this is a war.>" he said. He looked up and the Paladin's head turned to see the ever nearing Elyandra as it grew bigger as they neared.<br/><br/>"Mauna Kea, get those shields down and engines stopped!" he said, "We're running out of time!"
