Well, the tech priests DID tell us how long till repairs would be completed, didn't they?  11100 minutes, 10000 seconds is just over a week.<br/><br/>Anyway, there is an easy response to the evil Cortez's threat, thankfully.  He probably should have waited for the Everest to get out of firing range before making a threat AND telling the crew of the Everest that the civilians had cleared out of the way...<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>And it's done... if the first lance hit turns out to not have been enough, I have two more to follow it... but I didn't roll their damage as the first hit should have destroyed their torpedo bay... or rather, damaged it, which would make it not work till it's repaired... which is good enough for our purposes.<br/><br/>I WOULD suggest that the PC's transfer to the Everest at this point, however.  The main bad guys on board the Aquiarre have apparently been defeated... and if there IS a Chaos Battle Cruiser out there, sitting on board a ship that won't have it's engines back for a week doesn't sound wise...<br/><br/>The Everest is right nearby the Aquiarre, luckily for you, and the Chaos Cruiser is a minimum of a hour (2 combat rounds) away... so there is plenty of time to transfer over... if you don't mess around.
