As the Chimera's helm officer pulled the ship upwards, Natalia caught a glimpse of a dying warbird, one who's singularity drive had lost containment and literally causing the ship to slowly implode in a gruesome, jerking manner with showering sparks. It was a D'deridex class, with more than 1,500 crew onboard, collapsing under its own stardrive technology.
Such was the sight that for a moment she paid no attention to her console and only looked back when she heard Xerxes call out, "Three more warbirds on our tail... one unknown, the other Norexan class!"
Natalia listened closely and then quickly looked back at the science console where she was standing, quickly performing a tactical scan of the third warbird. It was a smaller vessel with limited firepower and powerful sensor emitters. It also boasted a menacing forward cannon that reminded her of a Galor-class main beam weapon.
"Incoming plasma torpedoes!" Xerxes yelled from behind the tactical station.
"Dexter, fortify aft shields," Rojac ordered calmly. "Xerxes, return torpedo fire."
"Aye, sir," Martin replied, and a moment later the ship rocked as several plasma torpedoes detonated against the shields, causing several consoles to flicker briefly as power distribution was disrupted before coming back to life.
"Shields down to 75%," Natalia said as she read out the damage report on next to her console. She glanced back at the tactical scanner and saw the smaller warbird speed forward between the two large Norexan class ships. A spike in the energy readings alarmed her and as she turned to report it, Xerxes said:
"Sir! The Norexan class warbirds have launched their fighters," the Trill tactical officer said.
"Helm, bring us about and execute tactical maneuver Epsilon Beta 12," Rojac said and Lieutenant Dacour responded with lightening speed, her fingers tapping over the keys before Natalia could object.
"Sir, wait!," the XO said as she rushed forward.
But it was too late. The small warbird, a Tal'Shiar science vessel, fired its primary beam weapon at the large Chimera class vessel, slamming with full force into the starboard shields above the nacelle. The force of the impact caused Natalia to fall down and injure her wrist as she tried to break her fall.
"Sir, our shields are falling!" Dexter shouted in a panicked voice.
"What the..." Rojac said just as Natalia got up and made it back to the science console.
"It was a shield inversion beam, sir!" Natalia reported as her eyes glanced over the information the scrolled across the monitor. "It's inverted our shield modulation frequency, causing our shields to collapse. We need to drop the remaining shields in order to reset the modulation frequency!"
"Romulan fighters are firing on us!" Xerxes called out as the ship shook, this time resulting in blackouts and sparking consoles. Without shields, they were sitting ducks.
"You heard Commander Trzetrzelewska, Lieutenant Dexter," Rojac ordered. "Do it, now!"
