The bomb in the engine room went live, while the allied forces ran like mad to get away from it, and Inquisitor Durke stepped calmly into the turbolift.  A moment later, a muffled<tt class="bbc_tt">BOOM!</tt>blasted through the main plasma chamber, leaving a massive cloud of smoke in its wake.<br/><br/>When the smoke cleared, the egg was gone.<br/><br/>Techpriests set to work quickly, chanting hymns of praise to the Omnissiah, while the let down Genetor Anthium, and began reconnecting the plasma generator.<tt class="bbc_tt">"We will have the ship fully functioning in 11100 minutes, 10000 seconds."</tt>Lifts to the bridge opened up, while various lights indicated that anyone not of the cult omnissiah wasn't welcome while the repair work took place.<br/><br/>Just as Sarah boarded her shuttle, a high priority vox came from sensor operator Kim.  "Officer!  We've lost the chaos warship on our scopes.  One minute it was there, the next it dissapeared!  I'm trying to get it back, but I can't find one single trace of that vessel.  Do we continue an engagement pattern?"<br/><br/>The shuttles from the<em>Kobras Aquairre</em>came into formation with the gun-cutters, and swarmed the bridge of the<em>Ignomious</em>, even as the ship came within torpedo range of the<em>Kobras Aquairre</em>.  A voice came on the vox.  It was similar to Cortez' voice, but cruel, sarcastic, and dark.  His accent showed education, yet his delivery was constantly pushing over the edge of dramatic, directly into dramatic villain territory.  "Esteemed commanders of my brother's flagship:  I'd like to inform you that your beloved commander will not succeed in disabling my vessel.  Not before my torpedoes can kill every last one of you, at any rate.  I will accept only an unconditional surrender of your vessel, if you wish not to die.  Do not trust in your own capacity to dodge my weapons; this vessel is fully armed and operational, despite the lack of crew.  Do the sensible thing and power down your weapon systems, so that we can talk further."  The vox abruptly ended, and Ignomious pointed its prow directly at the<em>Kobras Aquairre</em>, ready to deliver a hail of torpedoes at any sign of defiance.
