Captain Harlock makes his decision quickly, knowing minutes count as the Katana moves to attack.  "All vessels, move to support the Katana.  Repeat, all vessels, move to engage the Gospel of Condemnation... Captain's discretion as to how." Putting action to words, he orders the Everest to move toward the Katana as well, although keeping the engines on silent running for the moment.  Despite Commisar Antony's advice, Jason felt wary of revealing his trump card too soon.<br/><br/>Setting a course for the enemy cruiser, Jason prepared to bring the ship up to full power, timing it so that he would have full power active and his guns hot just before they entered the Everest's maximum firing range.  The enemy would certainly spot the Everest then, but it would be only moments before the Everest's cannons were able to fire.<br/><br/>"Ensign Kim, plot me a firing solution for that cruiser!" As they approached, the sensor officer locked the weapons on target, taking all the time she needed to do it properly.
