Phoenix: Rebirth prt2
~continued~
Cayden soon began work on attempting to locallise the power cut, narrowing it down to the new addition he made to the kitchens.
Cayden: What the fuck? How could a freeze do this?
Phoenix: I have the same question, but unlike you I have an answer.
Phoenix takes over a consol and shows a diagram of a feedback loop of energy that would eventually overload the buffers if unchecked.
Phoenix: It seems your pizza burnt out my fuse board, maybe next time you'll stick to the protein modules we have aboard.
Cayden: -releasing a loud sigh- If I wanted to eat cold porridge every day I would live with my aunt.
Phoenix: Not the one with the cats?
Cayden: The very same. -caydens attentions are drawn to the sensor array.- Phoenix what is that?
Phoenix: what?
Cayden: that anomally, it's like somekind of energy displacement.
Phoenix: one moment, scanning.
Cayden waits for roughly a minute before growing impatient.
Cayden: Well? -sounding calcastic with the wait-
Phoenix: it's a long range jump window. I calculate company within 30 seconds.
Cayden: Can we get out of here?
Phoenix: Negative. engines are still recharging.
Cayden: shit. -begins walking towards the main door leading to the corridor- What about weapons?
Phoenix: Only minor systems. I can get you pulse batteries but thats it.
Cayden: -stopping and looking confused- What no shielding?
Phoenix: Don't blame me, this is your fault.
Cayden: I'm heading to the bridge. -begins jogging-
Phoenix: Already there, and our friends have arrived.
Cayden: who are they?
Phoenix: Salokhin, it's a small purge class destroyer. They will be in weapons range within 5 minutes. I can tell you now they don't look happy.
Cayden finally reaches the command bridge and takes position by one of the many controls.
Phoenix: engines are still down. They are almost in weapons range.
Cayden: Target there engines, maybe we can kick them where it hurts. -frantically attempting to activate primary weapons.-
Out the view screen, a second ship explodes into sight from jump space, a massive T.S.F command cruiser, bristling with guns and immediately firing on the Salokhin destroyer.
Cayden: What the hell?
Phoenix: T.S.F battle cruiser, I suggest we submit for now.
Cayden: Yea right, last time I tried that I was sent on a prison ship for no reason.
Phoenix: You probably pissed them off, trust me your good at it.
Cayden: Not as good as you.
Phoenix:...right...
The Salokhin destroyer soon explodes after a magnificent display of weapons fire from the T.S.F ship rips right through the hull and blows it in two. The debris floats across the sector while the T.S.F ships guns turn to the Phoenix herself.
Phoenix: Incoming transmission, audio only.
T.S.F: Un-identified ship, you have entered T.S.F space, prepare to be boarded for inspection.
Cayden: well aren't they friendly. Please tell me we have engines.
Phoenix: Sorry, they are only 76% charged.
Cayden: shit. I better go sweet talk I suppose.
Phoenix: what should I do in the meantime?
Cayden: -leaving the bridge- Make me a coffee.
