When Eric finally managed to not only get the IFF back online but the radar online, she raised an eyebrow, rather impressed and at the same time pleased with his work, though her overall facial expression showed a more serious countenance. â€œImpressive, that was quicker than Iâ€™d thought you would get it done. I guess you are useful for something after all. Me on the other handâ€¦â€ Katâ€™s words seemed to trail off and she exhaled a light sigh. It was written all over those words how she felt. However, she didnâ€™t want to seem like she was feeling sorry for herself or make it evident that she was frustrated that aside from helping her partner she had nothing to do. Now that this was back up, maybe things could finally get moving.<br/><br/>She had hope though she wasnâ€™t sure just how long it would last.<br/><br/>At the sound of the commanderâ€™s voice, she briefly snapped her gaze away from the radar and half glared at the commander. What the hell was he thinking? Right now, a direct attack was impossible; the recoil from any attack would more than likely leave them open for another assault from the enemy since they were a larger ship. Her eyes scanned the radar again. Coming up with a strategy was not her thing either as she was use to following orders not giving them, but she knew well that they were in no position for an attack now. A few moments ago, they were good, but now they had waited way too long. â€œWell so much for jamming the enemyâ€™s system.â€ She muttered, speaking to both herself and her partner. â€œIf we strike now theyâ€™ll more than likely continue to gain the upper hand.â€<br/><br/>She moved over to her station for a moment now that everything was back online. A screen showed up, displaying the shipâ€™s weapon system. â€œWe have close range weapons but they may do more harm than good right now. The recoil is still too much, since again our size does get in the way despite the good it does. Not only that, but our defenses are down forty percent. Either way, itâ€™s risky.â€ She wasnâ€™t sure about Eric but she could almost sense the concern in the other crew members. It seemed to radiate from them in strong waves making it hard to keep calm. Kat was, however, really beginning to question the commanderâ€™s motives especially after glancing at the screen. Was he trying to perhaps tire the enemy in some way by making them waste their weapons before moving in? If that was the case this was definitely an odd time to make a move.<br/><br/>Just too damn risky.<br/><br/>â€œIâ€™m getting a bad feeling againâ€¦â€ she looked back to Eric. Kat never considered herself to be a gorgeous woman, she certainly did not have a celebrity figure, but she has caught the eye of a few men in the past. Eric had a slight charm to him as well, she admitted, but she knew better than to flirt on the job. Even then she was always way too serious to flirt in general, just a part of her nature.
