What the feck? How were we supposed to know those FTL engines would go into meltdown mode?

(The Jolly Smew)

Pilot us the Feck out of here!

"Wolfchild, help me here would ya?" "All decks, brace for impact!"

[IronyOwl]

Uh, does this mean we can't move?

[Tarran]

Yes, but you can do other things.

You've all seen movies, large things explode spectacularly. Though I really should have told you about that, but at the same time you should have asked. Besides, it's not just the FTL drive blowing up, it's the reactor.

[smjjames]

Shout over the comm lines "Are you playing chicken Jolly Smew?! Veer course you guys!!" Fire like crazy at the enemy frigate when its shields are down, otherwise snipe any remaining enemy fighters.

Did the carrier get completely annailhated or was it just the drive engines that blew up and there is enough of the carrier intact to make it a prize?

If you count space atoms a prize, then yes it's intact. If not, then no, it's gone. 100% gone.

[smjjames]

Well, we now know that they leak methane when you crack them open like an egg.

Maybe you can enter this battle into the fluff stating that never before has Xecobian FTL drives been shot down while charging.

It ended up with the whole carrier going nova though.

Maybe.

I should make this clear from now on: Anything that uses a large amount of energy (FTL drives, engines, shield generators, large weapons, etc) all have the potential to melt down. So you might want to be careful.

Also: From now on, whenever you roll a 5 on a fire roll you get +1 to the first three weapon rolls. I'm going to make the 5's more useful.

Yes, the damaged plasma conduits in the FTL drives resulted in a massive energy feedback overload, which overwhelmed the safety measures and caused a catastrophic cascading fusion ring failure, resulting in a positively enormous reactor explosion.

...

I almost understood that.

Nevermind, it's clear to me now.

[smjjames]

And you can blame Ironyowl (mostly his rolls, not ACTUALLY his fault ) for piloting us up the carriers ass

[IronyOwl]

(Captain Silo, Roadviper)

"Attention all personnel we are sitting ducks, fire at will or see if you can get us mobile."

Head to and attempt to repair the right engine.

Just out of curiosity, would it have been better, worse, or the same if the drive hadn't been shot a second time?

Also, if nobody else uses it, access the computer's files on Xecobia biology.

Sadly quite true. Command might want a word with me about that.

[Dervin]

"Captain, should I brace for impact or try to bring the shields back up!?"

[SHAD0Wdump]

"Shields are up, in fact they are as strong as they would be before that little modification you did. You best brace."

Also, any chance we will be seeing those pictures anymore?
