On Board
With regards to Elpsis and Laira, the troopers did hold back, only to be almost singed by Elpsis's pyrotechnic powers. Their weapons raised, they moved forward - it was clear the invaders weren't going to be surrendering - as they followed the ship's layout, troopers coming down from the upper deck down the ladder to join the fray. Other troop units were redirected in an attempt to cut off the boarders, to prevent them from progressing further - doors were shut as well, at least two that directly led to the location they were trying to reach and some behind the incoming groups of troopers. One door, however, did not have any troopers between it and the dynamic duo.
In Space
"They're trying it again..." Vanessa looked through the binoculars. "No ion torpedoes this time. Fighters and bombers, move to intercept the warheads as they come in. Oh, and see if you can't snag one of those warheads we disabled." A gunship quickly left the hangar and dragged the disabled warhead to the hangar of the
Ablution, where the ordnance was quickly disarmed. There was no time of course to dissect the weapon given that a massive battle was raging - that would need to be worked on after the Silver fleet was removed from the system.
The fighters continued to engage the warheads as they came in, staying a distance behind the warships. Vanessa noticed that the strike craft were retreating and returning to their ships' hangars. "They're about to try something. I don't know what it is, but it's likely some sort of anti-fighter screen. Once we've dealt with their latest warhead barrage, have all fighters return to their hangars. We're going to try something depending on their next move. Have them ready to launch again at my command, though." She smiled. "We still have a ways to go."
The
Ablution stayed in the center of the fleet as the corvettes moved to flank it. The Resolute took a position next to the Pluton as the Legacys flanked the two warships, the three Guardians at the front, left, and right of the situation. All guns were currently being fired towards the fleet as they readied the starting calculations for what would prove to be a particularly bold move were she to successfully pull this off. They slowly began to move towards the enemy fleet.
"Begin the calculations."
