=^= Sending =^= Thor replied, then, to Kesh, he messaged =^= Your calculations show a much less powered strike to their ships than initially considered. Work with Tactical in that. You’re the one up there and have the best view. =^=

=/\=Enough of your stalling! Our ships’ presence is proof enough!=/\=

Then the four ships powered up their weapons as they began to move around the Genesis.

The first burst of fire came forth as torpedoes. They were nuclear in nature.

GM

Magnus snorted “Masters of diplomacy them” He clasped his hands together “Target and disable weapons, let’s also see if we can take down those torpedoes before they touch us” He looked to the Captain, this was their first Combat mission together and he was curious as to his style in Ship to ship combat.

XO

Marius nodded his assent. “Tactical dedicate one battery of phasers for counter-missile uses.”

“Full reverse, back off....” Marius was going to go for range where the Genesis superior weapons would have all the advantages. “Nukes. Filthy weapons.” He shook his head. Dirty weapons but still fairly dangerous.

“Take surgical shots from where they can’t touch us.”

Marius

Dagen sent up notes to both Kesh and Tactical =^=- Their inertial systems are weak. Start at a 5% strength on phasers. Kesh, plot payload on the torpedoes and work optimal distance to neutralize them. =^=

Dagen, CE

OOC: Is any one at tactical to fire the phasers?

IC: As the Genesis reversed, the missiles altered course. These missiles were tracking their target …

GM

Oh, Marius looked at the screen. There was a good chance the Genesis was just flat faster than the missiles… “Phansers?” He pointed at the missiles on the screen.

Marius

NE Cannons at the Tactical console did as ordered. One phaser bank targetting the incoming Nuclear missiles and two other forward banks aimed at the nearest ships set at 5% power as directed by engineering. He targeted the weapons systems. “Opening fire”

NE Cannons

Kesh could say for certain that calculating the explosive yield of missiles currently incoming to the ship she is currently occupying and determining the safest possible means of detonating them was not on her list of things she enjoyed doing nor hoped to do today.

But, circumstances.

“Aye, sir.” Again she replied to Dagan quite flatly, but her focus was on ensuring the frequency of the phasers being fired by Tactical was going to have the best-possible outcome at the moment.

-> Kesh, Engineering

=^= You focus on the battle items. I’ll keep my eye on ship’s power. =^= he replied up. =^= You’re doing the work of engineer and scientist. You’re doing well. =^=
Dagen

The phasers caught the missiles. The Genesis shook and the radiation from the missiles was considerable. The shields of the Genesis held back the radiation.

The other phasers easily took out the engineering on two of the ships. However, the ships were in danger of being irradiated because engineering was keeping an energy barrier to repel the radiation. The other two ships fired another volley of missiles …

GM

OOC: Hi Kenson, clarification question .. is the energy barrier interior on the ships to keep the radiation away from the rest of the ships that originated in engineering? And if so, was that caused by the hit? Or, is the radiation the same as that plaguing the Genny from the detonations and those ships being in the area and the energy barrier was shielding that the ships were powering from engineering that went down? .. sorry, that’s a very before coffee question here .. Gene

OOC: The ships have an energy barrier to repel the radiation that results from the explosion of nuclear missiles. The controls for this barrier are found in engineering. When engineering was damaged, the barrier went offline. Hope that helps.

GM

IC:

Marius exhaled loudly irritated. “Are they seriously about to irradiate themselves with their own weapons,” He didn’t say it but his expression screamed ‘idiots.’

“Is there any way we can take over the guidance for the nukes?” They were clearly remote controlled.

“XO, tractor beams?” He faced Magus…

Marius

Magnus half-smiled at the Captain “I recommend using the tractor beam to gently push them out of the irradiated space.” He looked back at the engineering station at Kesh “I’m assuming their weapons are as antiquated as their ships. Which means we can use the same sensor ghost trick but can we override the torpedos to avoid shooting them down?” He asked.

XO

“Their weaponry does seem to be on the same level of technology as their.. ah… vessel power systems, yes, rrrnnth.” An ear twang subtly conveyed Kesh’s displeasure of referring to the aliens’ technology as ‘antiquated’. This was no time to be picky about wording, though.

With aid from Engineering fine-tuning the power output, Kesh made sure the tractor beam output was ready to cut through the radiated particles and provide just enough force to move objects without tearing them apart. At the same time, she brings up more detail on the sensor scans of the torpedos, particularly their guidance systems.

”.. nn.. ah… rrr.. a projected IR and EM field from the deflector dish should act akin to chaff in confusing their weaponry, yes.”

-> Kesh, Engineering.

Magnus turned a pleased smile at the Engineer “Excellent, please commence confusion Ensign.” He looked back at the Captain “Permission to take out the rest of the ships and push the others out of harms way?”

XO

The ‘chaff’ that Kesh creates registers on the ship sensors more so than on the visual feed, as the deflector field is altered to act as a refactor for various energy fields, making bits and pieces of the ship’s various power signatures appear are various locations within 5000 km of the ship itself, like stepping into a house of mirrors.

Kesh then requests Engineering to run the ship’s power systems through various spectrum cycles to encourage the missiles to focus their lock onto one of the reflections that were, briefly, the same signature as what was originally locked onto. The then delayed spectrum cycling for the ghost signals further encourages the guidance systems to search for different targets, leaving the ship’s signature as one among thousands to choose from.

Assuming, of course, the technological level of guidance systems is equal to that of the other technology on display.
