Destiny Forward Deck 2
Ben had just given Flint the wrong answer. The Republic Expeditionary Fleet had lost nearly all of it's bombers, starfighters, and nearly half of it's interceptor wings. Many of which came from Flint's own ship. Not to mention all the boats that had gotten torn to pieces out on the firing line. And for what? ...For nothing.
"Jedi. I have two gunships left on deck 1 above us, and two pilots on standby. They are yours. Get to where you need to go. Otherwise, follow me to bridge. We've got a Fleet to pull out."

"...And that was his report Admiral."
.. "I understand Captain. The Grandmaster is on his way back too. Get your ship ready and stand by. We are almost finished on our end too."
"Understood Admiral. Pherson out."
Flint stood on the bridge and looked out the window towards the gunfight beyond. It was time to start rallying people for the close.
"Helmsman. Task tracker beams to lifepod recovery. Deploy the last 12 Interceptors on recovery duty. Tell our Assault boys on the station to get back here on the double. Time to close the doors on this adventure everyone. ...And Lt. Commander Daniels?"
.. "Yes sir?"
"Get down to the Medical Deck and check on our three wounded Engineers. We'll be micro-jumping soon."
.. "Yes sir."
The bridge was fine. Lost a few panels here and there. Maybe a gun console or two. But the burn marks and scoring could be painted over later. It was time to close the book on this chapter. Flint was tired of this station already.
