The<em>Everest</em>'s main armament tore into the Shirke class raider, blasting the engine section with high powered laser blasts and pulling down the ship's shields, crippling the engines with precision fire before ramming several gigantic lances of pure energy through the vessel's rear section, tearing through crew and engine alike.  A panicked vox transmission came in from the Ignomious.  "You bastards!  We're on the same side!  Forget trying to get control back.  All hands: get the hell off of here before the inquisition murders you!!"  The captain of the vessel screamed, while shuttles started blasting away from the ship, and dozens of men in void suits began throwing themselves out the airlock, grappling life preservers while they desperately tried to escape.  "Just a heads up, there are a bunch of servitors reloading the torpedoes now.  I would watch out for that."  The captain voxed to the<em>Everest</em>, as the shuttles started making a beeline for the pilgrim vessels.<br/><br/>Down in the engine room, Baromir looked at the charges, and realized he had no idea how to do anything fancy with them, meaning that they would cause fairly indiscriminate destruction.  To avoid harming the adeptus mechanicus, they would have to clear the engine room of techpriests somehow, before detonating the charges.  The electronic device seemed to have been a technological interface of some sort, likely for disabling electronic locks.  Whatever it was, it was useless now, but the holy circuits might yet be salvaged.
