The others have helped to calm each other, and all seems well in the passenger compartment.Shom continues to fly defensively, making minor adjustments and evasions to Kerracor's deft handling of the ship at maximum(-plus)impulse. He winces when the portside shields get depleted down to practically nothing, but he feels better as the giant sky creature begins to fill the windscreen.Pog, with Tilon's assistance, is right on top of the shield replenishment as soon as the torpedo impacts. Together, they restore 10 points to the portside shields.Denny also has a go at the shields. This time, he does a little better: 7 points go to the shields.Hiru manages to reinitiate the countermeasures. [+2 to ship's defense]Kerracor keeps it on a steady line to the manteon, as the ship breaks through the upper atmosphere.The Sanctuary manages to do a little repair work of it's own: after the shield generators replenish 8 points to the shields, the engineering computer auto-redistributes power to each shield, resulting in 62, 63, 63, and 63 points to front, port, starboard, and aft shields, respectively.Round FiveInitiatives:Droid Starfighters (2): 24Tilon: 22Ka Jor: 20Pog: 18Shom: 18Denny: 14Hiru: 13Kerracor: 6Refugees: 6Manteon: 5Speed: Cruising+ - 9sq per turnHull: 62/230Shields: 251/300Position: 3 squares within Eraydian atmosphere, 25 squares from surface.Defense: 25 (+2 sensor jam, +4 flying defensively)Droid starfighter #2 (on the right) decides to return to his post, and peels away from the dogfight, in case other ships attempt to land on Eraydia without authorization.Droid starfighter #1 comes in with all barrels blazing, and unleashes a proton torpedo and a shot each from both laser cannon banks at the Sanctuary: the torpedo hits, completely depleting the portside shield. A residual of the explosion crashes against the hull, but does not penetrate the titanium-alloy shell.The starfighter's portside laser bank misses, but the starboard side bank connects with the aft shield of the Sanctuary, for 26 points of damage.In the distance, a 500m by 1km, skyblue and white ray-like creature called a manteon turns toward both ships, its nose tendrils flapping in the current. The manteon's mouth opens slightly to reveal a row of yellow bristles, and two golden horns start at its top and curl down in front of its mouth. [The manteon will act on its initiative, this turn.]</blockquote>
