Phase 4
Time slows as you begin to caluculate distance and trajectory. The Drones are lined up like ducks in a row.
You fire your missile, and it explodes into the snub fighters shields (To-hit, 3+1=4 VS Dodge 3-5= -2, hit confirmed, damage roll 2+1=3, shields take 3+5 damage, shields at 20%.)
A second later, Red October fires his own, and you watch with sick fascination as the Tarrak Pilot is blown out of vessel... (To-hit, 1+1=2 VS Dodge 3-5= -2, hit confirmed, damage roll 6+1=7, shields take 7+5 damage, shields collapse, 5+5 damage to hull, enemy ship destroyed.)
Your turn your ship right and depress the trigger on the two approaching enemy ships.
The first isnt actually that bad, he doesn't make it easy for you-but his fighter doesn't match yours, and you tear him in two, sending him drifting in two seperate pieces.
(Opposed Manuvering, You:2 VS Enemy: -4, advantage you, firing twice...to-hit 4-5=-1 VS 6-5=1, hit confirmed. Damage roll 9, shields take 9+5 damage, shields collapse, 4 damage to hull, enemy ship takes critical damage, disabled)
The Second takes advantage of the situation and sprays bolts wildly toward you, but they splash harmlessly against your shields. Pathetic...
(Opposed Manuvering, You:4+1-1=4 VS Enemy: 10-5=5, advantage enemy, firing once...to-hit 4-5=-1 VS 10+1=11, miss)
Your already moving past them as one of Snow Owl's missiles streaks by toward the bomber.
In the meantime, a massive explosion rips forth from the wreck of the E.G.S Nisiharu, and the Megaton puts on an an emegency burst of speed to escape. The shockwave will reach your position in one phase.
The Halberd Bomber has (Sensor roll 6 vs 8=fail) failed to detect it at all and continues blindly in the path of destruction. It takes a few pot shots at helpless pods as it passes by and destroys half of them.
