"Evasive attack pattern Mayo two four," Captain Frederick Mayo calmly
said from his command chair as the Magellan continued to take a pounding.
"Aye, sir."
The majestic Sovereign-class starship glided through space in a dance of
sorts with the two D'deridex-class ships. The Magellan was not only trying
keep itself from being destroyed, but protecting the Rapier as well.
"Sir, the last of the crew if the Rapier have been beamed aboard."
"Good!" Mayo said, slamming a fist on his arm rest. "Now we can take the
fight to them. Focus everything we have on that second warbird.
"On it!"
A hail of fire that had been held back was unleashed on the warbird.
"Attack pattern Mayo four five!" Mayo ordered.
More weapons fire connected with the second warbird's shields as the
Magellan swiftly passed the sieged Romulan vessel, trying to draw both
warbirds away from the abandoned Rapier.
"Sir! The second warbird has suffered some structural damage and is
breaking off. The first warbird is pursuing."
"I'll be damn is that's going to happen," Mayo muttered, knowing that would
allow the second warbird to sit back and fire away at the Rapier. "Make
another run at that second 'bird. Same attack pattern."
The Magellan continued to focus it's attack on the second warbird. This time
with better results.
"Their shields are collapsing!"
"Finish 'em off, Ms. J'klock!" Mayo said to his chief tactical officer.
Another run saw explosions register throughout the warbird, but it didn't
explode entirely as he began to drift.
"Shields, weapons, engines and other critical systems are down. Our own
shields are down to forty percent."
Mayo knew that the first warbird had barely been touched and was in much
better shape than he was. Even so, he liked his chances in a one-on-one fight.
"Lets take these Rommies on a little ride," Mayo said. "Three-quarter impulse
away from the Rapier. Emergency power to aft shields."
"Aye, sir."
The first warbird had little trouble keeping up with the Magellan, firing away at
the Federation starship.
"Sir, we're starting to take hull damage to the engineering section!"
"Then lets end this, shall we," Mayo said. "Two degree incline then emergency
stop!"
The warbird overpassed the Magellan, but was quickly readjusting.
"Focus on their engines and fire!" Mayo ordered.
Phasers and torpedoes slammed into the aft section of the warbird, weakening
the aft shields considerably.
"They're impulse drive is offline."
"Continue the attack!"
"Sir, they're going to warp!"
"The hell they are! Continue to fire on their engines."
"Too late!"
The warbird went to warp, much to Mayo's utmost dismay.
"Should we go after them?"
Mayo wanted to say yes, but knew what his main priority was, "No. Take us back
to the Rapier and that second warbird. Have security to prepare to take onboard
prisoners."
"Aye, sir."
Mayo sat back more comfortably in his chair, just glad to make it through another
battle.
