((Thats nice and all but it would really help if you would...I dunno...operate a quad laser turret. Because you know, their fighters are shooting us apart and stuff...yeah.))

Niomie’s finger blurred over her board as she trained the Ruusan’s sensors the Rendili Light Corvette, as the Ruusan angled her nose to face the attacking ship. Locking the sensors on target, she opened a direct line, shunting the information to engineering. “Starting scan of second target, feeding data to engineering.”

A second stream of data sweapt into Ellbee's droid brain and was analyzed with the swiftness only a computer could manage. The hologram he projected for Helix shifted to that of a Rendili Light Corvette, and then broke apart into a set of schematics, as the droid marked the ship's weapon ports, critical systems, and noticed something unusually. The dorsal shield was resonating the plating it protected, and giving up its modulation frequency in the process.
With the vital parts of the enemy vessel marked the droid sent back the data, marking the dorsal centerline and sending out a shield frequency. If the weapons were calibrated to match they'd pass right through the enemy shields.

Once more, her com board lit up with a message from engineering; again, she glanced at the file before sending it to the captain’s weapons board repeater screen. “Targeting data on the Rendili received from engineering Cap’ transferring to your station.”

((Yeah...you know...some times people feel a little safer with a gun ready? Or maybe I was a bit too stunned from being torn from hyperspace like that for the first time that things got a little hectic? hmm? think that's a possibility?))

((Your deafness and cowardice have been noted.))
"Affirmative." Jag said as he started targeting the Rendili. The enemy ship was attempting to slink around the side as the forward guns lined up on it. "Eat osik, sleemo." The yellow beams of the high powered forward cannons sprayed forth in a torrent of fire as the quad guns let fly on cycle shot. Jag adusted the freqency of the bolts from cannon three, hunting for the sweet spot as the other three guns hammered at the shield. Finally he spied a black charr mark on the enemy hull. "Got it. Freqency located." The entire ship shook violently and alarms began to blare as the starboard and foward shields reported being at 50%. Despite the clubbing it was taking from the main ion cannon, the Maurader refused to shut up, and the fighters were running basic attack runs on the ship. "Emperor's Black Bones, where the Kriff are my gunners?!" Jag cursed. He grabbed the intercom again and repeated his request for gunners. "Someone get on those kriffing quad guns now!! Thats an order!"

Mareal held Tabula close as the jolt went through the ship. It was a rough jolt, but at least the girl wasn't hurt. The bumps weren't doing going away though. Mareal was beginning to get worried about the trip. Jedi or not, she couldn't do much inside the ship to help out unless someone boarded.

" Kriffing Nine Hells! " Laura said to herself, running down the hall while finishing zipping up the light armor suit she was hastily putting on just moments ago. " I suppose shots in the dark are better than nothing. "
In a few moments, she came to the starboard turret. She reached for the comm as she started sitting at its controls. " Laura here at the starboard turret. Any preference on what to shoot at, Cap'n? "

((I'm not asking you to be chuck norris. I honestly didnt think I was asking too much.))
Getting a confirmation from the starboard turret, Jag grunted in acknowledgement. "Cookie, you're getting a pay raise. Set the gun to cycle fire. Thats the dial on the base of the gun. It should be on your right. Thumb trigger fires the gun. Thats all you need to know right now. Aim at the Spearhead fighters. They're pointy with two big white engines. The targeting computer already has these fighters marked as hostiles, so you can just follow the screen as it tracks them. Got it?"

Helix began to feel himself worry as the shields dropped to fifty percent, and the captain yelling about where his gunners were wasn't giving him any more confidence.
"Alright, switch to emergency lighting on all decks, and direct the power to the shields. I'll shut down the lifesupport in the unoccupied quarters and send it that way as well." With a hoot Ellbee began shutting down the lighting systems and transferring the power, as Helix cut life support and sent the extra juice to the shield generator.
Slowly the shield strength began to climb, rising back to sixty percent, and stabilized as the incoming fire buffeted the ship. "Alright, that should hold em a bit longer."
He glanced at his schematics and saw a number of minor systems had begun to fail, still nothing of any real importance had been damaged yet, still he scrambled a pair of r2 units to fix as much as they could. If something important broke he could retask them, or fix it himself. As the ship bucked under another bolt he grit his teeth, "I'm not sure how much more of this she can take."

Kalin sighed and finished his food as the last person left the crew deck. He was tired even though he had just woke up. He threw down the rest of the sandwich/burger and picked up his cigar. The past two days had been ungodly slow and Kalin found his mind wandering and slipping. Like the fact that he was still wearing his dogtags that he never wore. His mind began to wander and think about his family...
...then he lost his footing on the table as the ship lurched forward. He flew from his chair and went headfirst into the wall. He felt something sharp enter his chest and the last thing he heard was Jag's voice fade to nothing...

Kalin's head jerked forward and he rolled onto his back. He was drifting between conciousness and nothingness, and it seemed like a kind of shellshock to him. He could hear the sounds of battle and a switched flipped in his brain, bringing him back to reality. He tried standing up, but when he felt a pain from his upper torso, a cold pain of realization shot up his spine. He reached down and found his knife lodged in his ribs, right above his stomach. The blood-flow had slowed, most likely the platelets in his blood, but if he stressed too much, he would open up the wound even worse. Then he would bleed-out. Very carefully, he eased himself up and made his way to the lift, leaving the knife lodged in his body.
He exited the lift, now on the main deck, and made his way to the port gun. He had always preffered port guns. For some reason, they always fired faster and better. Seeing no-one there, he eased down into the seat and strapped himself in without irritating the knife. He grabbed an eye-piece and put it on, giving himself a HUD for one eye. As quickly as he could, he activated the manual controls for the gun and patched into a Comm channel to the bridge.
C-Cap... Jag. Kalin, repor-portin' for du'ty. Sorry I took so l-long to get 'ere. I 'ad a bit o' a p-pr-problem. *cough, cough. Is there anybo'ty else o-operatin' the q-quads?

Gairus slung his repeater over his shoulder, and walked out the door. The shock from being yanked from hyperspace must have caused him to hear any announcements in warbled tones. "Just like when I'm drunk. Damn it..Alright, alright. C'mon Geb, just keep it together..." Gairus said, opening the door into the crew deck. He walked over to the tipped over items spread around the galley to see blood stains. "Whoah...what the hell is going on!?" The shock was starting to fade away. The alarms came into his ear, unwanted as they were, the sound was clear. Gairus moved to lift and went down to access the turrets on the main deck. He walked through the main corridor, and into a free quad. He sat down and accessed the communications channel. "This is Blikk. Sorry for the delay. What's out target?" He asked, placing his hands on the turret controls.
