Shadow: Admiral...the Trust frigate Amazon is on a direct collision course. If we do not take evasive action we will suffer massive casualties.
Harrison: And lose the Ulterior Motive.
Harrison crossed his arms, he stood straighter, pondering the situation.
Shadow: 40 seconds until impact.
Harrison watched the hologram of the Trust frigate, he scanned the battlefield, trying to figure out any plan where he could take out the Ulterior Motive and survive.
Shadow: 35 seconds.
Harrison stared at the map, he saw a second gap in the line a few hundred kilometers behind the Amazon. If he could use the high capacity engines, he could turn the Crimson Shadow to face the Amazon, take it out with the MAC, and have another shot to fire a barrage of archer missiles at the Ulterior Motive.
Harrison: Shadow! Inform Hayes we have to break formation in order to evasive action. Full thrusters to engines, I want us turned around and facing the Amazon!
Shadow: Admiral...you only have 30 seconds!
Harrison turned to the helmsman.
Harrison: Helms...give me your seat.
The helmsman nodded and sat up, Harrison took his seat.
Shadow stood behind him, examining his movements.
Harrison was using the engines for exactly what he designed them for, to cut the turning radius on the Crimson Shadow. He had to be precise, any miscalculation or movement could jeopardize the lives of his crewman. But, Harrison had been doing this for years. With the use of the engines, Harrison was able to make a turn that could have taken a minute in a little less 20 seconds.
The Crimson Shadow was now on a direct intercept course of the Amazon.
Harrison smiled and returned to the holographic table.
Harrison: Shadow, get a lock on the Amazon. Fire on my mark.
The Crimson Shadow was mere seconds away from crashing into the Amazon when Harrison spoke again.
Harrison: Mark.
The Crimson Shadow fired the MAC round at the incoming Trust frigate, smashing a hole right in the middle of it. The frigate split in two and exploded, no one could have survived.
Harrison: Fire archer missile pods 76 to 125 on the Ulterior Motive.
