He had assumed that they were simply entering into a skirmish with a freebooter vessel, maybe a smaller ship that would run off at the first sign of trouble, and most importantly: a ship without backup to call if the fight went on for too long. Instead, they had jumped into a situation where a prolonged fight without taking the enemy ships off the board fast enough could garner the attention of additional and larger Badoon warships.<br/><br/>Given this new information, Peter suddenly came to the conclusion that without the promise of a prize, the risk present in facing off against the Badoon far outweighed any potential gains, even if the curiosity regarding the unarmed Enead ship was fiercely eating away at him. Knowing it unwise to lose the Equinox's forward momentum, Peter plotted a course that would move the Equinox in an arc that would place the Badoon cruiser not currently attached to the Enead ship, between its partner and the Equinox. This would serve the dual benefit of keeping the Equinox away from the untethered cruisers' forward guns for as long as possible while also using one ship to shield the Equinox from the other in a motion that might not be construed as immediately hostile.<br/><br/>Looking over his shoulder towards Thor, Peter gave a shrug and spoke with heavy resignation in his voice, “Not a whole lot we can do about this unless you're planning on starting a war with the Badoon. Might as well head...”<br/><br/>Peter was violently cut off as shock waves from the explosion aboard the modified Badoon cruiser coursed through the Equinox. Taking this new development in mind, Peter quickly sharpened and adjusted the Equinox's turning arc to bring them above the unharmed Badoon cruiser on the port side.<br/><br/>“This is bad... with us showing up at the same time as that explosion, there's no way they're going to think we weren't responsible!” Peter shouted at nobody in particular as his eyes remained glued to his console. His mind racing a mild a minute he continued urgently, “Do we have any way of blocking communications?” While this might prove disastrous to anyone aboard the Enead ship or otherwise trying to communicate with them, Peter's biggest concern was keeping the Badoon from calling out for help.<br/><br/>With the Equinox bearing down on the unharmed Badoon cruiser, Peter's order of priority in targeting would be any weapons that could pivot and target the Equinox independently of the Badoon cruiser's facing, external communications arrays, then any thrusters that would aid in the Badoon ship's turning capacity. He wasn't sure if the Equinox's weapons were powerful enough to destroy any of these systems on their first volley, and he doubted he had the time to hit more than one before the Equinox moved past the Badoon cruiser on its first round, but that wasn't going to stop him from trying.
