“We’re okay, a bit shaken but the Wyrm only got our shields.” You reply. “Like I was saying, for now we should be cautious and figure out what Guard is doing with it.”
“S-sorry, Sir…” Cleo pants, abashed. “I thought you wanted me to hit the bastard before it was ready for us.” She straightens out your dizzying flight path, rejoining your wingmate in pursuit.
“Never mind that, Lieutenant.” You sigh. “Just try to stay out of arm’s reach from now on.”
“Sir, we might not make it as far as the asteroid field if it continues to strike at those speeds.” Coen states coolly.

You’re going to have to fight but considering the machine-like speed of your opponent you won’t be able to plan far ahead. How can you predict where it will strike next?
And what will you order your crew to do?
