To the Alexander and the Kobras Aquiarre, Captain Harlock transmits this message.  "Accelerate toward the station as if you're rushing to rescue your profits... but don't slow down, keep accelerating... poor on the speed, fly right by at full thrusters and swing port at as much over your maximum velocity as you can manage.  Get to that holoprojector and take it out!"  The astropath may not transmit the evil grin, but somehow, you can hear it.  "Leave the trap to me."<br/><br/>To the Katana, Captain Harlock transmits this, (pretending he's transmitting it to all ships).  "All ships, we are going to make a run on the station to attempt to defuse those reactors and salvage our prizes.  Katana, you are ordered to take up rear guard on the Everest.  I'm not requesting that you enter the blast range of those plasma reactors, that's our risk to take, but you're our escort ship.  You brought us in, it's your job to bring us out.  Maintain rear guard position and whatever you do, do NOT let us out of your sights!  That's a direct order."<br/><br/>Navigator Vanessa pushes the engines up to flank speed.  8/55 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=29027) 5  successes total, driving the ship up from 6 speed to 11, and making a simple (free) 45 degree turn to port to bring the starboard guns all in line to fire.<br/><br/>Sensor operator Kim locks on target.  17/70 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=29028) 5 extra degrees of success, +15 to gunnery checks on the main gun.<br/><br/>Captain Harlock aims his guns at the pirate frigate closest to the station on it's port side, and fires a full volley.<br/><br/>The Starboard Sunsear Laser Battery first:  34/70 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=29029) 3 extra successes, 4 hits.<br/>The Starboard Sunhammer Lance second:  7/70 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=29030) 6 extra successes... 1 hit, and a crit.<br/>The forward Sunhammer Lance Battery last, aided by Kim's lock on target.  33/85 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=29031) 5 extra successes, two hits and a crit.<br/><br/>"Just softening them up for the raiding parties."  Captain Harlock lies blithely over the vox to his fellow ships.  "Good luck on stopping the overloads, and godspeed!"
