> The Shields. It’s no use fleeing if they decide to blast you to smithereens.
Powering up the hyperdrive won’t matter if you’re immobile, or get blown up by the enemy. You point a finger at the chief engineer, who seems on the verge of panic.
>Activate the engines and shields. Do what you can for the Hyperdrive.
He nods, and immediately starts inputting commands into his console. You nod to Goto, and head out the room with him.
“Looks like we still got a job to do.”
And then, just a moment later, you hear a clone voice lacking all emotion start to direct you down the corridors.
“I see there’s not enough power for the hyperdrive. You must fix several ruptured fuel lines. Head down corridor three…”

You look up at Fisher. Around you your men and his are pouring fire into the haphazard debris that gives only the barest cover to the boarders. There’s not much return fire at all. You sigh. Fisher might not like it, but the droid is right. The best course of action is to push them out and capture anything they leave behind. It looks like their reinforcements have stopped, for now. You’ll at least deal with the boarding problem. You jerk your head at Thax.
>The droid’s right. We should assault them and take them out. Better not risk leaving them a foothold.
Fisher lowers his head, nods, and then looks up.
“Alright. We’ll do it your way. Men! Prepare to attack!”
>Shade, come in. We’re making an assault to push them out. Try and see if you can join us in the middle.
A pause, and then: “Copy.” You start giving out orders to your own men, and they begin moving the cover you’ve been using out of the way. Once they’re ready, you give a signal to Fisher, and you leap out, your men following quickly behind.
