Wincing at the destruction wreaked on the<em>Ignomious</em>, Navigator Vanessa continued the Everest's smooth turn away from the now mostly crippled Shirke raider and toward the incoming Battlecruiser, maintaining near to flank speed (9 VU a turn) as they adjust course.<br/><br/>Sammy voxes to the Gun Cutters that had been running ahead of the Everest in a vain attempt to ward off a torpedo or two, with new instructions.  "Board the<em>Ignomious</em>and get to their torpedo bay... take it over and keep them from firing again!"  That said, she looks out the forward view screen at the slowly growing image of the Chaos Battlecruiser, and grimaces.  "This is NOT a good way to begin my first real command...." Sammy complains wryly.  "Shooting out the engines of an allied vessel before getting my Cruiser blown up from under me by a Chaos Battlecruiser.  I wish the Captain was here!"<br/><br/>Meanwhile, 4 Gun Cutters carrying 120 seasoned navy marines (wearing brand new suits of full body riot armor over their void suits) headed for the<em>Ignomious's</em>forward airlocks, conveniently open, in an attempt to board and take over it's torpedo launch bays.<br/><br/>As they turn toward the Battlecruiser, Sensor Operator Kim again tries to get a reading of their enemy, trying to determine what kind of weapon systems it might be using.   15/70 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=31675)<em>(5 extra degrees of success)</em>This time she gets a solid lock, and starts describing it's loadout to her best ability to the bridge crew.
