Panel 1
Lieutenant Commander Natashia Staratt: Mr. Vern, lock phasers on the Slug. Target shield emitters and then weapons systems.
And that awful Slow Dimension, if possible.
Tactical Officer Vern: Sensors locking!
Shouldn't I raise our shields?
Natashia: Negative. Energize hull plating only.
Hylia, contact the landing party.
Chief, any luck with the Slug's core?
Panel 2:
Tech Chief Hawkins: Sorry, Commander... their engineering level is too heavily shielded.
Switch to plan B?
Panel 3:
Natashia: Please do.
Andre Peters: Slug power output is low... I don't think their core is active.
Natashia: We have good timing, then.
Mr. Vern... fire main phasers on target locks.
Vern: Yes, ma'am!
Science Officer Burns: Tajaran cruisers are moving to engage us.
Natashia: Set point defense phasers to autofire. Railgun teams at the ready.
Talia, engage evasive maneuvers at your discretion.
Helmsman Talia: Engaging!
Panel 4:
Tajaran Science Officer: Sire, we are taking fire. Battery power is maintaining shield strength, but it will not last.
Tajaran Tactical Officer: The enemy vessel has no shields! They will not be able to withstand our cruisers.
Glugtor: Keep them back! It may be another Earthling trick.
Cruisers are to maintain a screen between us and the enemy vessel until main power is restored.
Tell Crabjug to set his priority to reactivating the Slow Dimension!
Panel 5:
Ensign Hylia (comms): Come in landing party! Do you require emergency beam-out?
Commander Dale Zurkett: Negative, Intrepid! We have active shields and a good defenseive position.
Glad you could join us!
And thanks for getting that plasma beam off our shield.
Hylia (comms): That wasn't us, Commander! The Slug isn't at full power.
Dale: Then Colonel Reynolds must still be alive!
And hopefully he's just getting started.
Panel 6:
Colonel Hank Reynolds: This can't be all we can do.
Major Ulbek: Logically, it is. The plasma junction provided an exploitable weakness, but the damage is temporary.
Their primary systems are all located in their main engineering section.
Marine Commander: We've visually reconned main engineering, sir.
There are at least a hundred Tajarans, plus automated defense turrets. We don't have the arms or the manpower to breach it.
Major Taylor: Sir, I'm getting more sensor readings from outside... the Intrepid is firing on this ship.
Hank: Then maybe we CAN do something.
Gentlemen, let's do some "painting."
