[Naked Crook]

Meanwhile: The Ulterior Motive had continued firing on both The Dreadhawk and The Infinity's Voyage. Howevrr, The Ulterior Motive was still taking more hits than either of the two ships alone. Trust Officer: Sir...I think ONI is trying to offline our communications array. Their attack patterns suggest this. Kolya: Do not allow our comms array to go offline until we can signal for backup. Take a defensive posture. Set all missiles to proximity detonation. Target any incoming cluster of archer missiles and fire at will. Meanwhile: Burke looked at the holotable, which showed tbe current positioning of all three ships. Burke: They are going into a defensive posture...why? Burke thought for a moment. Burke: He may be trying to buy himself time. The only reason to do so would be too...call in reinforcements.
