in seriousness I am not too concerned about Erik
he knows what has to be done and what has to be done is not wide scale slaughter, but crippling their means of mounting offense, like you said

Johanna will be Johanna but she can be corralled
live hostages will need to be managed to gain access throughout any given ship if it's anything like ours or that of DUPRR

Right, nanites. Thank god they don't work after death or she'd probably just chop off hands left and right.

How many are on board so far? Just the three of us, Remus, and Sirius?

Hermione, Ginny, Harry are wizards/witches that will fill out the ranks, I'm leaving the shepherding of that lot to Remus
Mystique will be along too and I'm offering the same to Tyke
then a pilot/gunner that Wash will find for us

I can pilot/gun unless you'd rather have me on the boarding party.

Have we picked out which ships we're hitting? It sounds like you've been able to get some intel on them, or expect to be able to?

alright. I'll let you know soon but I'd sooner have you board.
I've gotten some vague impressions but I can't pick up too many specifics from here. once I am out there I'll be able to get a better sense of where to go. the wizards can only teleport if they have a clear idea of where they're going, so I will need to use my power to help them along regardless

but there are different kinds of ships amongst them. I sensed at least two that felt like whole cities, as big as or bigger than the Tranquility. tempting targets but we'd just as easily get lost and I can't imagine they are for frontline battle. there are smaller but still significant models we would probably have better luck in destroying/disabling.

Bigger?? That's insane. [ Unless... ] Do you think that's all that's left of them? Maybe their planets really did die while we were jumping and they're stuck on these ships now. It might explain the desperate, relentless pursuit.

I'm fine with on board, but if Wash can't find a willing driver, let me know.

Frontline targets are definitely the place to start, at least. If we can take them out quickly enough we can give the others a try but getting lost seems like a definite time-suck.

there's a theory. the overwhelming impression I got was that they were largely military but that doesn't mean a society under pressure isn't largely militaristic.

quickly being a key word. if we're only able to take down 2-3 of the warships there's still a lot of personnel on board who will need evacuation.

Who knows. I had wondered why Van Rijn came in person, but there are a lot of other possible explanations for that, I guess.

Anyway. Evacuation to where?

to each other. forgive me, I'm on an optimistic tangent about how slow is slowing them down.
we should convene in the shuttle bay within an hour. I'm on my way there after I tie up some loose ends.

how's deciphering what on earth Charlotte is talking about going

I'll be there.

Given up on Charlotte, either she or Resnik will spit it out or someone else will shake it out of them but the psychic woman who said she knew what they were saying clearly does not so I'm done for now.

we're certainly well past the point of optimistic platitude in place of strategy
let's go destroy something

I've heard better plans, but I've definitely heard worse ones, too. See you in the shuttle bay.
