"Lieutenant Hope, Commander Zimmerman, continue scanning the area for additional hostiles."
Both Ethan and Commander Zimmerman immediately began doing as they were ordered and due to the El Sal's powerful sensor's they quickly discovered the two other ships. Commander Zimmerman's plan was ambitious and dangerous.
Would the Klingon's disengage from the lead ship and fire? Would they even do enough damage? These questions were racing through his head, but he still had a job to do.
"Captain, weapons fire has ceased in main engineering," Ethan reported," medical teams are on there way."
"Understood," Captain Irae said and put her attention back to the battle at hand.
"Commander Zimmerman, is there any way that I can help you?" Ethan asked.

Savot handed the tactical station over to one of the junior officers and moved near the Captain's chair. "Captain, I will prepare the tertiary hull for the MVAM manuever, and signal Commander Parsons of our plan to facilitate his preparation as well."
Deis nodded, her determination thankfully increasing in proportion to her tension, "Verra good, Mr. Savot. Signal the bridge when ye're set. Mr. Zimmerman, prepare to transmit attack formation coordinates to the other hulls as soon as ye 'ave them."
"Commander Zimmerman, is there any way that I can help you?" Ethan asked.
Savot turned towards Ops just as the station's chief spoke, "Pardon the usurpation, Lieutenant Hope, but I require your assistance. Your file indicates you have sufficient pilotting skill and your Operations experience will allow you to more efficiently process and implement the data sent by Commander Zimmerman upon the completion of his task. Prepare for site-to-site transport."
<Any specific response from Ethan can be included here>
The two operations specialists, former and current, stood on the open upper platform of the bridge as the vulcan tapped his commbadge, =^= Bridge to transporter room 2. Lock onto myself and Lieutenant Hope and transport us to the bridge of the tertiary hull. =^= A few seconds later, the officers dissolved and reappeared in the darkness of Vector 3's bridge.
"Computer, lights", Savot ordered immediately upon their reconstitution, and the previously inactive bridge lit with activity as both lights and consoles illuminated themselves. As Ethan moved towards the forward console to assume the helm and keep an eye on this hull's ops screens, Savot assumed the command chair and tapped his commbadge once more.
=^=Savot to Parsons, upon containment of the situation in Engineering, proceed to the battle bridge and prepare to assume command of the secondary hull. Contact the bridge as soon as possible, Mr. Zimmerman will elaborate on the details of our strategy. Savot out. =^= After passing on the order to Parsons, Savot and Ethan were both bent to their respective sensor screens in time to witness the shuttlecraft impact the Bird of Prey at the Klingon vessel's port shields...

Judd was movving around Engineering, assisting with First Aid in a couple of places, then got the blast door open again to admit the medical personnel. WHile he was assessing damage to Engineering systems, he heard the Marine ask, "Hey have you ever seen anything like this before?" handing the device over to Sandage to look at.
Judd looked at the curious device. "Looks like come sort of communication device...only like none I've ever seen before." Then Judd thought of something. We ain't been properly introduced. Lieutenant Judd Sandage, Chief of Engineering," he said as he held out his hand.
<TAG runningwolf>
"The Cap'n needs t'see this, but we got them ships outside to deal with, so I'll get back to ya." Judd hurried away to tend to his Engineering systems, shouting orders to his people at the same time.

Wolf: Looked at Lt Sandage for a few moments and took his hand and shook it " Lt Runningwolf most people just call me wolf nice to meet you" knowing the Lt had a job to do he left the device with him while the Lt was getting things back in order.
"Bridge this is Lt wolf engineering is secure medic are on there way, I'm waiting for futher instruction" knowing that he wouldn't hear anything any time soon so he though he assisted with the injured until he got new orders. <Tag anybody on the bridge>

Deis sat in her Captain's chair, Kevin Zimmerman the sole remaining senior officer with her on the El Salvador's main bridge. She waited patiently but tensely as Zimmerman plotted the flight paths that would enable the Primary and Tertiary hulls of the ship to hopefully get the jump on the 3 attack vessels still cloaked...
As she rolled various battle tactics through her mind, the intercomm activated and the unfamiliar voice from earlier once again filled the bridge, =^=Bridge this is Lt wolf engineering is secure medic are on there way, I'm waiting for further instruction.=^=
Deis furrowed her brow in confusion, she didn't recognize the name from her last roster check. Tapping her commbadge she replied, =^= This is th' Captain. Who in blazes are ye Lieutenant?=^=
<Runningwolf's reply>
Deis exchanged a quick, surprised glance with Zimmerman and replied with a nod though the man on the other end of the comms had no way of seeing the motion, =^= I see. Lieutenant yer timin' is positively uncanny. Very well. 'ave someone point out Commander Parsons t' ye and tell 'im I've given ye tactical command of the security personnel so he can take command o' the battle bridge. Do what ye can t' contain any further boarding attempts and take care to run frequent scans in case they try beamin' in at an unguarded section o' the ship. If'n anymore pirates do get aboard, give 'em Hell Marine. Irae out. =^=

Your file indicates you have sufficient pilotting skill and your Operations experience will allow you to more efficiently process and implement the data sent by Commander Zimmerman upon the completion of his task. Prepare for site-to-site transport."
"Understood, Commander," Ethan responded giving way for another operations officer to take his post. His position filled, Ethan joined Commander Savot in the open platform on the bridge and waited to be transported to the tertiary hull. Ethan had yet to see the El Salvador in MVAM, so he couldn't deny that there was a bit of excitement mixed in with fear.
As the lights and consoles of the tertiary hull came online, Ethan made his way towards the forward consoles and took his seat on the helm. He quickly adjusted the helm controls to his likings abd began scanning the area.
Ethan made sure to keep an eye on the shuttlecraft that was mere meters away from its target. He couldn't help, but look at the explosion that was created when the shuttle hit the klingon's port shields.
"Commander I'm ready moderate damage to their port shields," Ethan reported," the two cloaked ships have yet to move from there current position."

Wolf: Understood her confussion after all he snuck aboard the same way the pirates did. " Sorry Captain for not asking you formaly for permission to come aboard, but it looked like you could use some help. My Name is 1st Lt Runningwolf I'm your new Marine officer.

"Commander I'm reading moderate damage to their port shields," Ethan reported," the three cloaked ships have yet to move from there current position."
Savot nodded silently as he observed the same data on his console as well, then lifted his head to speak, "Very good Lieutenant. Make preparations for breakaway once the other two hulls are ready. When we receive the signal to proceed, I want you to, immediately upon the beginning of the separation, shut off the breakaway thrusters after a 2 second burn and allow our momentum to complete the separation."
The vulcan paused for a moment to ensure that Ethan had time to fully intake the orders as they would be especially detailed. As Operations officers often have to assimilate multiple data reports simultaneously during an emergency, Savot judged a roughly 2-second span would be more than sufficient for Lieutenant Hope to be ready for the next instructions.
"The instant following the shut-off of the thrusters, vent 1/4 of the thrusters' fuel in space. Upon reaching 10 meters distance underneath the secondary hull, reactivate the breakaway thrusters to ignite the vented fuel. The only damage to the ship from the following flash-burst of flame will be aesthetic. However, it may increase the probability that the remaining cloaked vessels will believe us damaged, rather than forming for attack. Preparing a haphazard course upon separation once you have received the coordinates from Commander Zimmerman on the main bridge and reduce the inertial dampners by 25% following the ignition burst of the vented fuel", the first officer finished his orders as calmly as usual.
As Ethan worked at the preparations, Savot relayed his fuel venting stratagem to Kevin on the main bridge, for him to judge and pass on to the Captain.

Ethan didn't think he had ever received such complicated orders in such a short time, but his training was doing its job. Everything the Commander said was memorized and then slowed down so that his head could comprehend. Though for a couple of seconds, Ethan thought that the Vulcan Commander was toying with him, but he quickly realized that wasn't the case.
As Ethan made the preparations, his thoughts roamed to the cloaked ships. The fuel wouldn't damage the hull much and it would appear that they had taken damage, but would the pirates fall for it. It was risking, but if it worked it would give them the advantage.
"Commander, I'm ready at your order," Ethan said turning to his superior.

Wolf: Secured the prisoners in the brig regardless of there Medical conditon. He allowed the medics to do there job but under guard and in the security brig. He didn't want to take any chances he was sure to hear about this later. The security teams were stationed around the ship with patrols moving around as well. Going throught the gear he took of the prisoners he found some more communication device and started doing a scan of them. When he found what he was looking for. There was a return function that beamed them back automactical, this could be very useful. I dont think the captian will let me take a strike team but if my hunch is right we could send back a thank you card. Looking through the ships cargo log he found what he was looking for. Well what do you know a em pulse generator, that will do nicely.
" Bridge this is Lt wolf I have a idea and with your permission I would Like to act on it. There communication devices have a return function set to automatic I would like to beam over a em pulse generator which should short out there primary systems for a few secounds before they can switch to back ups. which means there shields will be down for a few secounds giving you a clear shot"<Tag Bridge> waiting to hear a reply he started to head to the cargo bay where it was stored hoping to get the okay

The Captain had approved Savot's idea, which Kevin had assessed as a good innovation, and Kevin had placed the finishing touches on his plan.
"I've completed the scenario," said Kevin, sending the data to the other two parts of the ship.
"Very good," replied Captain Irae. "Savot? We're ready."
"I've just recieved Zimmerman's flight informatino. We are ready."
"We are also go," said the third part of the ship.
Irae opened a commlink between all three. "Separation on my mark..."
Moments later, the ship split, two drifting/piloting their own way apart from the Main Engineering section. The cloaked ships did nothing. A couple seconds before the two sections of the ship locked onto the cloaked ships, the pirate crews may have figured out what was going on. But by then it was too late. Phaser bursts, accompanied by a very few well-placed quantum torpedoes, found their mark on the cloaked ships. The back two were instantly disabled, one critically so. The remaining cloaked ship, only minimally damaged, came out of cloak and maneuvered behind its companions while it charged its weapons. The boarding ship was kept busy by the Main Engineering section, while the other two sections waited for the remaining pirate ship to make its move.
Kevin watched his console intensely. "Captain, they've deployed a sensor and communications jammer... I don't think it'll have a large effect, but we may experience slightly distorted communications between the three parts of the El Salv. In addition, our long-term sensors and communications are temporarily damaged. I estimate a one-half hour repair."
"Don't bother fixin' it jus' yet," said Irae. "Keep all repair teams on standby for emergencies until that las' ship is outta commission."
"Aye, Captain," said Kevin. "Enemy vessel seems to be focusing on Commander Savot's section..."
"Move to assist," ordered Captain Irae.

OFF: Slight backpost at first, just to include the fuel-explosion distraction tactic. I feel it's cool enough to be described. Also will be first responding to Wolf's post before I go into my own.
*To Wolf*
Captain Irae grinned as she listened to the Marine's plan. Turning the pirates' own tactics and technology back upon them was deliciously just. =^= Verra well Lieutenant. We'll be separatin' in 90 seconds, ye best be ready by then if ye hope t' catch 'em unawares. Initiate transport th' instant the separation begins. Quite the fairst impression ye've given today Mr. Wolf. Irae out.=^=
After about 65 seconds Kevin spoke up from the science station. "I've completed the scenario," said Kevin, sending the data to the other two parts of the ship.
"Very good," replied Captain Irae. "Savot? We're ready."
"I've just recieved Zimmerman's flight informatino. We are ready."
"We are also go," said the third part of the ship.
Irae opened a commlink between all three. "Separation on my mark..."
*End Wolf section*
ON:
Irae opened a commlink between all three. "Separation on my mark..."
As the go signal came over the comms, Savot gave the order to engage, but it was fairly unnecessary since Ethan would have heard the Captain's green light also. The vulcan First Officer didn't repeat his earlier orders he had given the Ops chief; he felt confident of the young Lieutenant's ability to both recall and implement the complex strategy.
The instant Ethan's fingers hit the last command on the console, a huge burst of flame came into being between the bottom of the central hull and the top of the tertiary hull, washing out into space and being snuffed out by the cold vacuum just as quickly as it had begun. Their section seemed to fall down and back from the El Salvador's center hull and it shuddered with the motion thanks to the decreased inertial dampners.
Their listing motion took them under the belly of the original pirate boarding vessel, but they made no attack against it, as they had been made aware of the tactical plan the new Marine officer had ready to launch from the Secondary hull. Savot and Ethan's portion continued its list until it was belly to belly underneath the boarding pirate vessel. When they had a sliver of the planet coming into view from the port side of the front-oriented viewscreen, Commander Savot nodded, "Mr. Hope, engage."
One instant seeming to be wounded prey, the next heartbeat they soared out from under the boarding vessel as their quite intact impulse engines roared to full power and carried them surging into battle against the 3 vessels cloaked in the upper atmosphere of Verdatii...
***********************************
As the initial assault subsided, all the portions of the El Salvador were clearly holding the better hand. One pirate ship that remained battle-worthy started an attack run against the vulcan and the Ops chief, and Savot started to issue engagement orders, but his eyes noted on the sensors that one of the ships had been so badly damaged in their ambush assault that its orbit was decaying and it was headed downward toward the atmosphere...and impact with the planet surface.
Without hesitation, Savot looked up towards the viewscreen and spoke, "Mr. Hope alter course toward the waning vessel. Prepare tractor beam and engage upon reaching optimum range. We shall have to entrust our safety to the Captain or Commander Parsons if his efforts allow an intervention. Engage."
OFF: Mr. Hope you're free to add any battle details in there if you had something specific in mind to get your creativity on. Just so long as it fits with Kevin's post you can fill in whatever specifics you'd like, if any. Either way you choose, you can roll with the tractor situation at your discretion.

Wolf: Recieved his approval for a go by the time he reached the cargo bay. There wasn't much time the ship would be seperating soon. Finding the em pulse generator he set it up with a 5 secound cout donw that would start the minute it was stransported over. Pulling out the pirate own communication device and attaching it to the generator waiting for the moment. All of a sudden wolf felt the ship shutter like a tree in the wind. Counting down in his head to give the ships enought time to complete there seperation. Its time to say thank you to our friends. Wolf attached a note on the generator telling the pirates its time to pay your light bill. then hit the return button watching the generator disappear in a stream of lights.
" Captain the generator is away estitmated time 10 secounds to activation good luck and good hunting" <Tag Bridge>

*To Wolf*
=^= Captain the generator is away estitmated time 10 secounds to activation good luck and good hunting =^=, the Marine's voice came over the main bridge comms.
=^= Verra well, Mr. Wolf. I'm directin' Parsons to disable tha' ship's weapons and shields as we separate. Once that's done I wan' ye to take a boarding party and secure that ship. I'm hopin' to pry the coordinates of the pirates' base from the beastie's computers. Take Lieutenant Sandage with ye to do the pryin', and guard him while he does 'is job. Irae out. =^=, Deis responded to her new Marine Lieutenant just as the separation took place and the battle ensued.
*************************************
What was only seconds later but seemed like minutes, the majority of the battle was over. Then Zimmerman spoke up saying the remaining ship was gunning for Savot and Ethan in the tertiary hull. For the first moment she wasn't very worried. She knew that any portion of the El Salvador was more than a match for these vessels in a 1 on 1 engagement. But as she pulled the sector up on the viewscreen she saw what was occupying the third hull's attention, the plummeting pirate vessel.
Knowing Savot would focus on that to save lives on the planet rather than his own safety, Captain Irae ordered the helm to lay in a full-speed pursuit and told the officer at tactical to be ready to divert the pirate's attention from Savot's hull...

Wolf: Heard his Captains orders " Verra well, Mr. Wolf. I'm directin' Parsons to disable tha' ship's weapons and shields as we separate. Once that's done I wan' ye to take a boarding party and secure that ship. I'm hopin' to pry the coordinates of the pirates' base from the beastie's computers.

" Understood Captain board the ship take control and secure there computer, I may even take the ship for alittle spin around the block"
Wolf: Rounding his security team up and issuing battle armer and contacting Lt Sandage "Sandage this is wolf I need you to grab what ever you need to hack a computer system and meet me in transporter 3 we've been invited to a party aboard the pirate ship and we have to dress for the occasion I have battle armer waiting for you we've got to move"<Tag Sandage> while waiting for sandage to answer and starting to think I"m not going to let anything happen we are all coming back. Turning to his team I want saftey on and visor down if you see a green dot thats your fellow team member if you have a red dot then put them down I want weapons set to maximum stunn. If that doesn't put them down dont ask change your setting and put them down nothing negates the right to self Defense is that clear. With a quite nod from the team wolf admired how well trainned they were.

Ethan could see them coming, they would be in firing range in mere seconds. All he needed to here were Commander Savot's order to fire and it would be done, but when the time came the Commander gave another order.
"Mr. Hope alter course toward the waning vessel. Prepare tractor beam and engage upon reaching optimum range. We shall have to entrust our safety to the Captain or Commander Parsons if his efforts allow an intervention. Engage."
Ethan's attention immediately was drawn towards the ship that the Commander was talking about. It wouldn't take long for it to crash land on the planet. He immediately broke off his course and headed towards the ship.
The pirates must of been momentarily surprised as they did nothing to stop them, but soon enough they were back course to attacking them.
When they reached the ship, Ethan engaged the tractor beam. It aqua blue color looked out of place on the pirate's ship helm, but it was doing the job. All of sudden the tractor beam faltered as they were attacked by the fully functional pirate ship.
"Commander they are coming in for another shot," Ethan reported," I don't think the tractor beam can take another direct shot."

Judd was still busy in Main Engineering, helping to repair some of the damage caused by the pirate boarding party, while at the same time monitoring the ship's systems, when the call came in.
Judd gaped at the message. You gotta be kiddin' me! he didn't say. Instead, he smacked his commbadge. =/\= Acknowledged, I'll be there directly. Sandage out.=/\= Then he dashed to his office, came back with his 'special' tool kit and a tricorder he had modified especially for computer work, and hurried back out and stopped Ensign Dawkins. "I'm going on a little stroll in a Pirate ship," he said. You're in charge until I get back!" He turned and jogged out, leaving a gaping Ensign Dawkins in his wake. Two minutes later, he strode into Transporter Room Three, wondering ily if he should have replicated a wooden leg, since it was a Pirate ship. Arr matey, I be ready to board yon ship o' scalawags, he almost said as he entered, and actually grinned to himself.

Wolf: Looked as Lt Sandage when he walked into the transport room. He had brought the gear he needed but nothing else.
" Well Lt its my turn to show you how to party, First you need to put this on. your going to have to strip your uniform." Handing Sandage a black uniform with blast plates and shielding wolf smiled.
" It may feel Little weired but once you power up the armer it will become lighter. Also once we beam over there you are glued to me okay. I will get you where you need to go then its all up to you. The captain wants anything the computer will tell you most of all she wants the location of the base. Me I want Shields freq of the other ship. If these 3 work togehter then there's got to be a recored of it in there scans. Besides after what I saw you do down in engineering this should be a walk in the park for you."
Sandage changed his uniform and was ready to go. " Okay here's the last bit " handing sandage a helmet. " I want you to pull down the visor those green dots you see thats us dont shoot at the green dots now if you get a red dot then those are the people who want to hurt us, I know that I might be making this sound stupid but when we get over there I just want you to remember green dots good guys, red dots bad guys and remember you dont leave my side you just point to where you need to go the ship designs are already down loaded into your visor use the hand control to pull what what you need. Its simple go ahead and get a feel for it alright. By the way after this is over the first round is on me" <Tag Sandage>
" Before I forget you did a good job when the boarding party came aboard keep the same cool and you wont have any problems"
Giving everybody a chance to set up and double check there gear wolf called the bridge.
"Bridge wolf hear the party crasher's are ready energize on your mark"

Judd had eyed the armor with some hesitation, but decided that in this case he'd be better off with it than without, and so kept his grumbling about it to a minimum, and likewise about the Marine Lieutenant's fussing over him. Finally, he got impatient, probably an outgrowth of his nerves. "I got it Lieutenant, Red Dots are bad guys! Let's get this here show on the road!"
Judd took a spot on the transporter pad next to Wolf, clipping his tool kit and tricorder to the handy places where probably sonic grenades and spare phaser power packs would go. He made a special point of double-checking his phaser while he waited for the word from the Bridge.

Wolf: Could tell that Lt Sandage was getting annoyed with him but he couldn't help it he was still dealing with issue's from the last time he had to protect somebody and they still ended up getting shot so he was over doing and decided to back off a little.
Even thou he still wanted Lt Sandage close to him, What Lt sandage didn't know but would figure out soon since he was a engineer was wolf had linked there battle armor together. Lt Sandage suite was getting a boost in shielding from his suite which meant that his suite was not shielded at all it was a chance he had to take to ensure Sandage was safe but sooner or later if Sandage checked the shield readings in his visor he would notice a above average reading. Standing there on the transport pad waiting for the order to go wolf tried to lighten the mood and keep Sandage distracted.
" So Lt how about you and me take that wreck out there on a trip. what do you think we could start our own sight seeing tour or better yet turn it into a bar Sandage lazy wolf bar has a nice ring to it" <Tag Sandage>

Judd half-turned in the bulky gear and gave him a look. "That's some kinda Marine joke, right? Them old D-12's fall apart if you look at 'em wrong!" Then Judd noticed the increased shield power in his helmet display. "Say, are ya sure it's a good idear t' drain yer own shields like that? I'd feel right awful if'n you got one in the back while I wasn't lookin'!"
<TAG Wolf>
Judd was getting impatient, and keyed the suit's comm. =/\= Sandage to bridge, we'd like to get goin' before we collect our pensions!=/\= he said somewhat archly, then silently chided himself. Great goin', Sandage, yer mouth is gonna be yer undoin' one o' these days!

*Aboard the Tertiary Hull*
"Commander they are coming in for another shot," Ethan reported," I don't think the tractor beam can take another direct shot."
Savot calmly but firmly gripped the sides of the command chair as their section rocked under the enemy fire. Releasing his grip as the last shot receded, he spoke over the beeping klaxons, "I believe you're correct Mr. Hope. Lock phasers on their forward shields, and transfer all power from weapons to the tractor beam."
Ethan blinked, not sure he heard right, "But, a-aye sir. Weapons...locked, transferring power to tractor beam now", beginning to question the sense of the orders, he stopped himself and carried them out, presuming, and hoping, the Commander knew what he was doing.
The tractor beam's tenuous grip on the plummeting pirate vessel strengthened as it was reinforced by power from the ship's respectably strong phaser banks. But Ethan switched the viewer aft to the pirate ship pursuing them, the other members of the skeleton bridge crew almost wincing in anticipation of the pirate's next shot when they saw the enemy's disruptors glowing in preparation for another shot...
An eye blink's worth of time later, red-orange phaser beams pounded into the aft shields of the pirate vessel, with a quantum torpedo following right behind to plow into the hull. As the phasers pierced the shields, the torpedo's way was paved and caused a massive explosion within the craft's engines, the outward burst of which sent them hurtling slowly away from the planet.
Into view glided the primary hull of the El Salvador, having used the same tactic employed by the Captain of the Veridian, skimming the atmosphere above the planet's pole to hide from the enemy's sensors. Savot had been monitoring sensors and when he saw the primary hull disappear he hypothesized as to what the Captain's strategy would be.
The pirate's sensors would have picked up the tertiary hull's weapons locking onto them, and knowing it was a Starfleet attack cruiser it was a calculated assumption that the pirate commander would shift his aft shield power to the forward shields, since he saw no other threat on his sensor screens due to the primary hull's improvised stealth approach. Even though Savot and Ethan's weapons had their power transferred to the tractor beam, by locking on they provided the Captain a clear shot at the aft of the vessel.
Additionally, the Captain, noting the predicament Savot and Ethan were put in by the descent of the previously disabled ship, her ventral-based attack had given the final pirate vessel momentum away from the planet, giving them time to contain the situation before having to secure it.
Back within their bridge, Savot gave a slight nod of satisfaction, "Quite satisfactory Lieutenant. Continue tractoring manuevers and secure the pirate vessel in a stable orbit. Maintain yellow alert."
The vulcan Commander then tapped his commbadge, =^=Savot to Irae. Your timing was impeccable Captain, you have our gratitude.=^=
The Irish reply came back over the comm-system with a hint of amusement to it, =^= Tis quite a'right Commander. I couldna stand the thought of travelin' through space missing the bottom of me ship. =^= Normally more aloof and no-nonsense with her speech, the success of their manuever and at least a temporary reprieve from battle had her pleased enough for a moment of jovialty to slip through.
*End Tertiary Hull Section*
**************************************************
*To Wolf And Sandage*
The voice of Commander Parsons came back over the comms in response to Wolf and Sandage, a small chuckle trailing his words though they were still laced with serious concentration, =^= You're lucky the Captain's out of comm-range and missed that polite request Lieutenant. All right gentlemen, you have a go for boarding manuevers. Keep your heads low and good luck, Parsons out.=^=
The Secondary hull of El Salvador, having remained stationary through the entire battle, had been given ample opportunity to disable the boarding vessel's minor weapon systems and engines thanks to the improvised gift-exchange tactic of Lieutenant Wolf. The pirates had given us a wealth of potential interogation participants, and so as not to appear rude the Marine had sent them the gift of essentially an EMP bomb in return. Parsons, his anxiety growing over not being at the head of a boarding mission leading his team, took solace in the hope that, with all the damage and chaos aboard the boarding vessel, the strike team would have a leg up on the pirates aboard her...
OFF: Ethan if I was off in guessing your response to the orders feel free to correct it in your next post and then I'll go back and modify mine to include the correct reaction if need be.

Judd took a deep breath. "Here we go, kids, say the magic word and win a prize," he said as their bodies began to be swallowed in the cool blue glitter of the transporter beam.

All right gentlemen, you have a go for boarding maneuvers. Keep your heads low and good luck, Parsons out."
Parsons' command of the Secondary hull was relatively uneventful compared to the action seen by the other two sections of the El Salvador. The Secondary hull had remained stationary through the entire battle. The section had easily disabled the boarding vessel's minor weapon systems and engines thanks to the improvised gift-exchange tactic of Lieutenant Wolf. Most of the action was drawn by Savot's section with the Captain assisting in the primary section. The pirates had given us a wealth of potential interrogation participants, and so as not to appear rude the Marine had sent them the gift of essentially an EMP bomb in return.
Parsons, his anxiety growing over not being at the head of a boarding mission leading his team, took solace in the hope that, with all the damage and chaos aboard the boarding vessel, the strike team would have a leg up on the pirates aboard her...
After a little friendly banter and the order from Parsons, Sandage and Wolf found themselves materializing on the enemy ship. "Good luck, gentlemen," Parsons said softly to himself.
"What's that, sir," said the ensign at the Ops station.
"Nothing, Ensign, just make sure you keep a close eye on our boys over there and keep me apprised of their status," said the Secondary hull commander.
The Ops officer responded with a crisp "Aye, sir."

Wolf: automatically went into defensive mode when they appeared on the pirate ship. They were lucky for the moment. they appeared in a empty crew compartment. Checking everybody over to make sure they were good. Turning to Sandage
" okay this all you I need to know which computer access port you want I know there are a couple on this deck but I"m thinking your going to want the one in engineering" <Tag Sandage>
Turning to his team while Lt sandage was studying his blue prints in his visor
" I want Ranger file for the moment we will keep Sandage in the middle I dont want him exposed to any more danger then we have to. He"s already going to be in the open when he does his trick with the computer. Once he access there computer there going to know we are hear. So lets move fast and as quietly as we can okay"
Looking back to Sandage "okay point us to the treasure and we'll start digging"
