For a brief moment, Alister watches Otto's body plummet into the water below, then the immediate issue of his situation reasserts itself. With a grunt, Alister begins to pull his bulk up the line, and back onto the ship.
Upon reaching the deck, Alister hears the roar of the Goldfish's engines, as the ship begins to speed away.
"Oh no Briggs, your going nowhere."
Quickly aiming the banshee, Alister unleashes a clip of greased rounds which obliterate the engines.
Hearing a moan, Alister quickly finds the front engineer. From a pouch on his belt, Alister quickly wraps the young man's shoulder and torso with a clean bandage, making sure not to remove the knife.
"Listen lad, our helm and radio are trashed, but they know where we are. That's the good news, the bad news is that the uglies who caused this, are floating about 75 meters from us. I've done what I can for your shoulder, but now I have to see if I can help our allies."
The young man nods and also turns around heading to the hull armor. As he passes the body of the other engineer, he quickly closes the man's eyes. Then he turns to his secret weapon.
"My dear, these are not the most ideal circumstances to become acquainted, but they will have to suffice."
Alister, almost reverently, takes the Anvalan Mercury Field Cannon from it's storage space.

Ughh, what is that ringing?, Renard says to himself as the General Quarters starts to blast thought the ship. Shifting in his temporary bedding! He sits up and notices the flashing lights as one person runs out of the room while another comes in. Swinging his legs over the bed frame, a jolt of pain races throughout his sides. Winching, Renard immediately goes back into his original position.
"Um excuse me," he asks the one who came in, currently preparing her equipment, "Are we under another attack?"

Frey looks towards to Jim as he makes his announcement.
"Just place it on the center table, we'll deal with it later. We have some more pressing matters to attend to."
Complying, Jim crosses the room and places the safe down. Looking out, he spots the pair of planes racing towards the tar cloud.
"Is there anything that I can help with?" Jim asks.
"They are already out of our gun's range, Captain Kasparov's Galleon has too much weight to pursue and the state of the Junker is in question. We can try and chase, but the damage in Engineering is extensive from our ealier encounter." Frey lists off
"Hmm, I can see what my crew can do. Ulric can be crafty in different situations." Jim offers as he speeds past Frey and the others back towards the Hanger Bay.
looking at the safe, Frey turns to Emil, "So, you wouldn't happen to have the key."
Weather Deck
"If you actually hit the target, then we would have actually capture the Goldfish," Farris mouths off to Antonio.
With a groan and a roll of his eyes, the latter looks at his partner, "Well you didn't have as much luck as well huh? 'Deadeye' " air quoting the Deadeye bit.
"Oh will you two stop that." sighs Courage, "Just be ready to start shooting once we spot them again."
"But Mr.Bell," Janet chimes in, "Aren't we out of range?"
With a small smirk he answers, "Not if I'm shooting."
In the background, you can almost see Amelia shaking her head at the man.
Engineering
After several minutes finding his crew, Jim leads Ulric, Peak, and Arnold towards the aft end of the transport where the Engineering spaces are held. With tool kits in hand, the group arrives just as Crowe is handing out stations. Nearing the Head Engineer, the man looks up at the group.
"Who are you four?" he asks.
"Well we are one of the crews assigned to the escort ships. We are down here to see if we can help." Replies Ulric.
"An actuall ship crew huh." Crowe says under his breath as hope scratches his chin. Snapping his fingers, he waves his pointer in the air, "We are stretched with dividing our more experience members to monitor over the swabbies. But with you four, we can handle some of the more serious components. Go and find a Loreana, she can help you with some of the finer details."
Looking past Ulric, Crowe hears and sees a crash as two of his men are on the ground with parts strewn all over.
"Ughh, go find her...I'll have to deal with this." walking past the four.
Looking at the retreating form of the Head Engineer, Ulric looks at all three of his men before stating, "So ummm, how does this Lorena look like?"
"Beats me."
"Don't know."
"Sounds like a female."
Came their replies. With a shrug, Ulric starts walking off in one direction waving a hand behind him motioning them to follow.

"As my partner said, Mr. Frey, the key was lost in the crash, you need either a good lockpicker or a demo expert in precision explosions.
You could order your men to try to use the Heyoka, it's range is amazing and the missile are guided, they may slow down the fleeting vessel."

Turning around, Alison sees Renard on the cot.
"Honestly Mr Renard, I have no idea."
Kibeth
While carrying the gun up on deck, a sharp pain spreads through Alister's chest, causing him to stumble and fall.
Unknown to Alister, the chemical compound in his blood stream has put a heavy strain on his body.
Laying where he fell, Alister sees the Goldfish begin to sputter back to life.
They'd have been out of arc anyways...
Then fatigue takes him, and he slips into unconsciousness.

Several pings and a blast, Jasper stumbles at the helm as he turns and finds the remaining engines destroyed.
"we are trying to escape, having those engines down is counterproductive is it not?", he asks calmly, but his eyes are slowly going red from anger.
"Yes boss. My pal and I are on it." one of the raiders quip as he pulls his buddy.
The pair shrink under Jasper's stare as he follows the two to the aft end. Rolling his eyes, he proceeds to turn the vessel with what propulsion they have towards a southerly course. Flying low to the water, he spots an incoming sandstorm and his iconic smile comes.
"Hope you four like sand."

"My apologies, Lord Ansger. During this engagement it slipped my mind." Frey says to Emil.
Looking at the safe,he approaches the small black box and examines the exterior.
"Maybe Engineering may have something to open this. But as for the missiles, that is not a bad idea. If Me. Culvin retrieved some of the projectiles, we can set them up quickly."
Turning away, Frey looks to Allen, "Back to the matter at hand, Mr. Allen, the status of our scouts."
MedBay
"Well, if we don't know what is happening, you can have someone take my ship for extra help." Renard offers.
Another wave of pain goes up through his side making him lie back down on the bed, looking at Alison, "Think you have some real pain meds? Ulric gave me something that knocked me out the last time."
