Welllllll then.
I move to the bridge and...
I emerged up the turbolift onto the bridge, and the door opened silently into...
Space. The door opened to a view of space.
I had already sealed my helmet when the first explosions started hitting the ship and Commander Nirur went out of contact. I had been unable to catch the intruder before another similarly huge explosion had hit the ship, cutting the Captain off in mid sentence. He had been unreachable by comm since then, and I immediately had headed to the bridge.
The bridge was gone. Totally gone. Only one of its original 4 walls remained. I activated my magnetic boots and walked out of the lift.
I walked around to the captains chair. Red was most definitely dead. If the steel girder through his abdomen didn't guarantee that, the smaller chunk of metal square through his faceplate, pinning his head to the back of his chair did.
I turned around and started checking the control consoles. Engineering and Communications were not even there anymore. Lieutenant Evans, who had been manning womaning tactical, had literally become one with her console. Navigation was surrounded by a cloud of blood droplets, floating in the zero gravity. However, when I pushed aside the various pieces of the late lieutenant Clyhntahn, I found that the controls were intact and still online!
I looked off into space. I saw the other three ships. No wonder the battle had started without warning, we were so close to the enemy ships that I could see them with my own eyes.
My mouth tightened into a smile. If they were that close, then they were also too close to dodge.
I sat down in the now vacant chair and subvocalized, "Computer, activate self destruct sequence, authorization beta-two-charlie-nine-zetta-four-one-alpha-eight-alpha-charlie. Set timer too..." I judged the distance to the nearest ship, "thirty seconds. Send a code omega back to the fleet."
I bared my teeth at the murdering enemy ship. They would not get away alive if I could do anything about it.
I set a collision course for the Enigma.
(tl;dr: move to bridge, repair 3, set self destruct and collision course with the Enigma.)
Roll the dice Shad0w. I wanna see someone die!
