As the fleet turned and burned towards the enemy holoprojector, the laser batteries of the Everest ripped into the iconoclast raider sitting next to the station, rows and rows of laser battieries tearing down the shields and melting the armor of the ship, leaving the exterior dangerously superheated.  The side lance followed the laser bombardment with an apocolyptic spear directly through one of the vessel's macrocannon turrets, vaporizing the entire turret in a single shot.  Meanwhile, the prow battery dug directly into the engine compartment and vaporized the plasma reactor, completely aborting the vessel's self destruct sequence.  "Think you'll get that lucky again, sir?"  Kim asked, marveling at the damage reports.  "It might blow up if we gave the capacitor shells a big shock, but other than that...  why is glass coming out of the ship?"<br/><br/>As the iconoclast came within eyeball range, it quickly became obvious that the vessel was filled with incredible amounts of broken glass, all flying out through the hull breaches opened up by the Everest's guns.  Arkhah's sensor scan comfirmed it; the crews were all dead, and the ships were both filled with hundreds of tons of glass.  Each vessel also bore a few torpedo impact holes, all unrepaired, and the engines showed signs of having received severe stress, which was likely why the plasma drive overloaded so easily under fire.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, the holo ship hardly adjusted course, remaining in the same general position in relation to the destroyed frigate.  (The fleet is now 57 VU away from the holoship, and has a straight shot for the vessel.)
