[QUOTE="Tun Kai Poh, post: 8457330, member: 6761960"] [B][SIZE=5]The Closing Triangle[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4]"Dammit Caspian," Tabitha whispers as she watches the melee develop on the screen. The crew of the Nikolai Bukharin are still shaken by the sudden reversal with fear and anger etched on their faces as they watch mercenary pilots flicker out of existence, painfully out of range as Battlegroup Eland powers back towards the fray. "He's going to stand and fight," Tabitha grimaces as she watches the Wagner's kilometer-long hull swing to face the Titania. "Can he do that?" Elliot Meade asks tensely. "They're almost directly under his guns at this point..." "He's going to try. Caspian was never one to step back from a challenge. And he's going to get a lot of people killed," Tabitha grits her teeth and pounds the plot in anger. "Engineering! Give her everything you've got! Gunnery, get a lock on the Titania! We give him what he needs to work with and try to mop up what's left." The Bukharin's chasers begin to open up as she slowly claws her way back into range. "Colonel Milch, Captain Var - everyone hang in there and try to stay alive!" The Metafold Breach may have relocated its targets, but it did nothing to change their speed and momentum. The Thoreau-class battleship and its battlegroup continue their advance at maximum burn. The short-spool cannons hum with growing power. The heavy kinetic primaries lay volleys down what feels like the longest gun range Tabitha's ever seen. The sensor dots that represent the Wagner and the Titania keep getting closer together while the We Demand Hazard Pay falls behind, like the corner points of a narrowing isosceles triangle. Minutes stretch out, while the escorts and wings clash around Battlegroup Splinter. Twenty-eight minutes into the Bukharin's charge, its salvos begin to arrive, to streak past the Titania's wedge-shaped bow. Six minutes later, the salvos begin to hit. The impacts smash glowing craters into the Armory dreadnought. Field generators flicker and fail, and fireballs blast through internal bays. But the Titania keeps going toward The Wagner. [I]Battlegroup Eland: Maneuver: All ahead full! Move to range: 4 Fire Heavy Kinetic Battery at the Titania: 19 (-1d6 from difficulty, roll: 1) , 18. Deal 5 damage to the Titania +1 volley counter to the 3x3 Block Short-Spool Cannons. 2 now stored. Weapon is fully charged Tactic: Lock Firing Solution - target lock the Titania Shamokin Rising attempts to repel boarders (rolls: 1) Nikolai Bukharin attempts to repel boarders (rolls: 1)[/I] In the chaos and confusion of the breach, the Purview Marines find themselves overlooked as the Union Battlegroup desperately surges forward to come to the aid of their beleaguered brethren. That is, until CSO Gbeho notices an airlock failure where there shouldn't have been on. "S---." He unleashes a string of curses as he flicks the alarm switches as fast as he can, summoning security teams from the bowels of the ship to the potential boarding point. The decks are soon ablaze with close-quarters fire.
