Every member aboard the Roc-du-Plune hustled out
of the mess area and made their way to their stations, as best they
could.
By the time Captain A'lau'chia was in the
Command Office, L.I.S.A. had already mentioned that there was only
forty-five seconds left before impact and the internal communications lines
were packed with messages about the visual anonyme.
A9K5's message, already twelve seconds old: "Visual anonyme appears to be a Devistator class, tactical range missile with Gravitron resistance design. If we applied full reverse engine power, missile would impact with Roc-du-Plune's nose instead of engines. Adjustment to hard port would alter Roc-du-Plune's course enough to avoid impact. But, Roc-du-Plune's course would be erratic and safety factor uncalculatable due to lack of pre-destined data." Paul's message, six seconds old: "No doubt about it. That warhead will rip us to shreds. Except for visual sensors, I'm unable to get a reading off of it. Which will make shield tracking nearly impossible for the computer. We'll need to do this manually, if at all." |
