"OK! I didn't mean to make power go down from the shields, I meant, when more power comes give it to weapons, because more's coming as the reactors warm up."

*The All clear signals, as the last Infidel Raider retreats. It jumps into the Warp, and cannot be followed.*
[Nibel] Well done men. I want a status report. I don't think we suffered any major damage, but I want to be sure...

[Nibel] Want something to do? That crippled Raider had Macro-Cannons, like the ones we have on the forward Gundecks. Head to the Salvage Deck and see what you can find... (F117850?thread=259343).

Captain, I'm looking for work, I gave your servitor my details.
I've led covert-ops units, but I can do solo work, infiltration, sabatage, assassination, etc. Got anything for me?

[Nibel] I don't know... Do you have any skill at planetary assaults? Boarding actions? Support Craft, such as Starhawks?

[Nibel] Then perhaps we can find a job for you after all... I'm giving you the rank of Lieutenant, and the title of Assault Captain. It's your job to organise landing parties, boarding teams and so forth. You could probably make yourself usefull in the Launch Bay too.

Wargamer (The Wanderer)

[Nibel] I'm afraid not. Only Battleships carry Assault Boats as standard. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm headed to the mess hall. Mystrunner, you have the Bridge.

Nerd42 staggers onto the Bridge, muttering "Hey, was that a drill?"

Straightening up, he says to whoever wants to listen, "I wasn't happy with the preformance of our engines, I've told the Engineers and Logstaticians to get working on that. Now, what should I do now, hey, there's an EXPLORING party going on???? Cool! Can I come?"

Is the intercom working? If it is, I'll be in touch, if it isn't I'll send a droid.

[Helm] Intercomm is working, sir. Simply use the Vox system.
Outgoing messages look like this...
Launch Bays. Captain has ordered an exploration party to enter the Starship graveyard. Prep a Fury squadron for immediate launch.
Incoming messages will look like this...
[Pilot] Roger, We'll be ready once we reach launch range..
[Helm] Hope you find that helpfull, sirs.
