Just as Sarah arrived on the bridge, the central damage control console started going crazy, flashing multiple shades of red in the central engineering section.  "By Thor's bloody left testicle!"  The damage control operator screamed, rapidly smashing in the buttons and levers trying to reverse the problem.  "Someone is closing the plasma reactor quarantine gates!"<br/><br/>Lord Tarsus rushed to the damage control console, trying to issue a command override.  "They cut the cables to the reactor!  We can't even vent the section into the void!"  He yelled, his own voice showing up over the micro bead channel.  Lord Tarsus looked to the helm of the ship, and abruptly regained his composure.  "Controls are unresponsive.  If anybody was suprised by this, please submit yourself to a senior officer for a nice friendly bolter shell to the face, you demonic scum."<br/><br/>The executive officer of the ship gave Sarah a polite bow as she approached, removing his hat in a somewhat uncharacteristic gesture.  "Officer Yrysriac, the helm isn't functioning, but I think we can convert the solar sails to propel the ship.  I don't have much faith it will enable us to evade the torpedoes, but it gives us a fighting chance.  I would appreciate your expertise.  This isn't an order... just a polite request."  Lord Tarsus said, while the junior officers rushed to rig up a sail based control mechanism.  (Getting the ship running on sail will require a tech-use test to adapt the controls, a stellar navigation check to plot the solar winds, a spacewalk and profession (voidfarer) check to set the rigging, and finally a pilot check to actually run the ship unpowered; complications will come up based on success or failure.)<br/><br/>Sensor Operator Kim carefully reported the tactical situation from the bridge of the<em>Everest</em>.  "We've got an incoming wave of four torpedoes, launched from the Crusader's Shirke Class raiding vessel<em>Ignomius</em>.  Accidental torpedo launches aren't terribly unusual, especially with inexperienced crews on a ship with heretical system components, but the timing is way too convenient."  Kim noted, moving on to actually detailing the situation.  "The<em>Cenotaph Driller</em>is eighteen void units away, prow to prow with the<em>Kobras Aquairre</em>at a distance of two void units.<em>Ignomius</em>is at a standoff distance of 37 Void Units, while the three Jericho Class pilgrim vessels are at 40 Void Units."
