Captain Harlock transmitted an Astropathic message to the rest of the fleet.  "Everyone form up on the Everest... scanners at maximum.  Fire on any target you can confirm, but everyone move into close formation with Everest and report any confirmed contacts for firing solutions."<br/><br/>Order given, Jason instructed the helmswoman to keep the ship on course for the Pirate Base, while he continued working the scanners along with Sensor Operator Kim, trying to determine where, in fact, the attack on the Katana had come from.<br/><br/><em>The Everest maintains combat speed and continues silent running as it heads for the Wayfarer station.  (aka, it's pretty much drifting forward on course... no need to burn the engines if we're already headed in the right direction in a frictionless environment)  7 combat turns remain till it's in firing range, Jason will continue to wait to power up the weapons until some (any) target is within one combat turn of coming into range.</em>
