T20: High Law and Low Justice, Part 3

[ Do we have an open channel between the ships? That is, can Ktarle hear the conversation between Trelene and Julia? ]

 

[Watus]

"Right, let's head for the bridge. Check each room along the way, and be ready to provide cover fire. If there are hostiles aboard, we don't want to get surrounded, and we don't want our line of retreat blocked."

"Ready?"

[ Do we have an open channel between the ships? That is, can Ktarle hear the conversation between Trelene and Julia? ]

ooc: yes and yes

"Right. If things go bad, we make back for the boat."

Saanath switches his PComm back one, linking him back into the ships comm system, then pulls his pistol out, taking care to keep it pointed down for the moment.

"OK. I'm ready. Lets see whats going on."

 

[Seonaid]

Ktarle yelps at the communications from Beta. "Who's firing at the Dvonn?" she demands across the open channel.

OOC: Ruzz'koff knows there's an incoming missile so if he can get it on his scanners or get a data feed he will do the following (assuming that they are docked tight enough to pull this off)

IC:
"Brace for collision upon my mark. Hold yourselves steady, am undertaking an emergency positioning burn in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - execute," Ruzz'koff fires up the boat's drive without undocking from the Dvonn, trying to pivot the dead mass of the Dvonn to keep it between the shuttle and the missile.

OOC:
So that when the missile does strike, it will strike the other side of the Dvonn from where they are docked.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Those inside the Dvonn feel a low vibration as Ruzz'koff attempts the dangerous maneuver, trying to exert just enough force on the dvon that it pivots without tearing the boat free from the woefully inadequate clamps holding the crafts together - but at least they hold. With the Alpha's hatch still open and the painted vargr skull and crossbones device still staring at everyone, this is of no small comfort, considering what would happen if they gave way. The rotation of the Dvonn, at this point, however, is excruciatingly slow.

Vyrkris picks up the missile, which lights up the sensors brilliantly as it emerges from between the heavy metal-laden asteroids. She looks at Ruzz'koff with a panicked expression. "It just changed course! Not by much, but it definately adjusted! I can't tell if it's targeting Dvonn or US!"

ooc: in combat, Vyrkris, or someone else beside the pilot will need to man the sensors. Ruzz'koff's maneuver has improved the AC of Alpha by one against either a direct or indirect hit by the missile.

Trelene nods at the instruments. Her words are noticeably urgent.

"Confirmed missile on intercept vector to Dvonn or Alpha. Can't get a confirmed target at this time."

She continues to try and get a fix on the missile's target.
