XO: No, Sir.  I cannot detect anything of that type.

MaraAstatre says:
#::Continues to fire on the convoy::

XO_David says:
CSO: Find a way to cut through the ECM they are using.

Kako says:
#::Is distracted by the USS Elara and goes after it following at an even pace::

Kiko says:
#::Buzzes a bit as the Federation torpedoes simply fly everywhere but to her ship and locks weapons again at the Elara trying to get a direct hit::

FCO: Concentrate on the vessel in grid 25 Alpha.  Their shields are down to 10%.

MaraAstatre says:
#::Sends repair teams to repair the shields::

CTO_Valar says:
::Fires phasers::

MaraAstatre says:

Kako says:
#::Beams a repair team to the MaraAstatre::

MaraAstatre says:
#::Strikes console.  The shields briefly regain strength then fail again::

CSO_Hall says:
::Thinks: “Electronic”:  XO: What if we used a magnetic burst?  The ECMs are electronic of course.  It should disrupt them.

CTO_Valar says:
FCO: Another pass!  Their shields and weapons are disabled!

Kako says:
#::Knows that the Elara will only bounce off their shields if they come in contact::

FCO_VanSickl says:

CSO_Hall says:
::Initiates the firing of the magnetic burst::

Host USSRespite says:
ACTION: The Elara is rocked by incoming fire.  Shields at 44%.

MaraAstatre says:
COMM Kiko: Understood.

CTO_Valar says:

CTO_Valar says:
XO: Sir, targeting scanners are back online.  Firing torpedoes!

XO_David says:
CTO: Torpedoes full spread!  Don't destroy their flagship!

FCO_VanSickl says:
XO: Looks like this one is going to ram the convoy.

CTO_Valar says:
::Fires full spread of photon torpedoes::

MaraAstatre says:
#::Sends crew to Kiko and Kako ship and continues on autopilot::

Kiko says:

XO_David says:
FCO: Intercept that ship!

FCO_VanSickl says:
XO: Aye, Sir!  ::Maneuvers right between the Mara and the convoy::

Host AGMWubbie says:
