I fire a volley of photon torpedos, then quickly turn towards the other Warbird. Our shields have been breached and the dull metallic thud of disrupter blasts, resonate in the smoky air of the bridge. Rotating through our phaser arcs, I manually target the limping Warbird's warp core. Three top investment pros open up about what it takes to get your video game funded. I know it, my crew knows it, the Warbirds know it. With one Warbird venting atmosphere and the other in range of our phasers, I order the engineering officer to re-route all engine power to shields and weapons. Desperate, the second Warbird de-cloaks and opens fire on us from above. Success! Their dorsal shields collapse and I see the atmosphere start to vent from a fracture in their hull. I watch as we gracefully swing above the Warbird and unload our phaser banks. I order my engineering officer to increase power to shields and order my tactical officer to concentrate fire on the attacking warbird's dorsal shields. An attempt to lure us into a trap by exposing our fragile warp core to the cloaked Warbird.

One Warbird cloaks as the other makes a full assault on our port shields….a diversion. I wonder if I do them justice as a captain. They are a good crew, and we have been through a lot together. "Hull integrity at seventy five percent!"
