Archer<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>Matthews have the section chiefs reported ready?</em><br/><br/>At her com station, Akira was listening to both the words being spoken around her, and those being reported inside the receptive walls of her mind. As the Captain asked, the section chiefs were indeed reporting in through the use of their own, low-level, psychics. There were plenty of folks who could communicate within the confines of a ship, or for a small distance, Akira was one of the few who could communicate over massive distances. Her record for speaking to another receptive mind was 10 light minutes but that was under controlled circumstance and while it had left her exhausted, it also left her wondering just how much further she could push it if she<em>had</em>to.<br/><br/>Waiting for the Captain to stop speaking, she looked up to meet the other woman's gaze, her own dark eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation, "Sections Chief's have checked in Ma'am, all are ready to go on your mark."<br/><br/>It was all she needed to say, all that she had been asked and as she finished speaking she let her eyes fall closed  and actually used her mind to feel outside the ship. What she did wasn't something that had actually been a part of her training but had, instead, been a sort of game among the other Psychic children she'd grown up with. She cast outward, using her mind to feel the others around her and also feeling the quiet space between them. Human minds felt<em>much</em>different from Quartona, making it easy to distinguish the feel of their own ships from their enemies. It also let her "feel" the spaces between them. As children they had played their own, unique, version of hide and seek where the seeker had to actually feel the spaces between the hiders and use those opening to reach the "safe" area or risk being captured.<br/><br/>Akira had held the record for being captured the least.<br/><br/>Now she used that child's game to find a hole for their ship to punch through. Feeling the barest opening in the enemy line, she felt her skin crawl and shuddered. It was narrow, barely enough to punch through, but if they did it, they would leave two Quartona ships shooting at each other while trying to shoot at<em>them</em>.<br/><br/>Snapping her eyes open she looked up at her Captain once more before moving to a view screen that showed the array of the enemy coming to bear on them. On the screen it didn't even look like a hole, but she could feel the quiet space between the ships echoing in her mind, "There's a hole there. They're too tight along the rest of the line, it's out best chance at punching through, Ma'am."
