[Naked Crook]

Damien: Sir...I have managed to signal some of our ships. I have received an acknowledgement...and their ETA is 5 minutes. Kolya nodded. Kolya: Understood...keep our distance. Let ONI make the first move. I am not going to budge this ship until I absolutely have to. Kolya paused. Kolya: Keep our weapons hot...and ready to fire at a moments notice. Meanwhile: Burke looked at the holomap of the system as saw how The Ulterior Motive was now in a defensive stance. Burke: If this bastard is calling in reinforcements...this battle is going to become a lot more complicated than it needs to be. Burke paused for a moment to think. He then walked over to the comms station and broadcasted a message to the other ships in the battle group. Burke: This is Admiral Burke. If The Ulterior Motive is calling in for backup...I recommend we engage with all ships. We should not squander this opportunity to take this SOB down. Burke paused. Burke: However...I maintain that we must keep at least one ship on defense near Midnight to continue providing support. We have no idea how many ships, or of what class The Ulterior Motive is calling in...so it is my recommendation that The Draco and The Crimson Shadow move forward and engage The Trust right away Burke paused. Burke: In the mean time...Captain Cochraine and I will continue to engage The Ulterior Motive.
