Connor was about to issue an order when he heard Steve's voice from behind; he turned and smiled. "Admiral! Where have you been? Anyway, communications is being jammed, we are adapting the frequencies but the Cardassians are adjusting their jamming devices. The Majesty suffered extreme damaged and has docked for repairs while the rest of the fleet is taking less and giving the Cardassians a run for their money, as you humans say, the starbase shields is holding at eighty-nine percent and we're firing at will. What are your orders?"

Steve nodded, moving across the Connor and leaning on the console in the centre of the deck, his eyes gazing at the data streaming over on the Fleet. "Keep mustering all reserve power to our defence grids, I'd rather keep us alive than biting back. Our ants out there can do the damage-giving." He replied, looking up to Connor as they were informed communications were back, but only temporarily, which when a call came in from the Independence.

"I'm sure you are aware that we're taking a beating Sir. Independence is carrying a limited quantity of Specialized Ordinance TPP Mark One," said Zack, referring to the transphasic weapons by their official technical designation. "Request permission to deploy."

Before the Admiral could reply, he gripped the console as the deck shook against a barrage, the Independence looking to take several herself as Zack's attention was caught by reports his own end. Overhearing the orders it didnt sound too good. A few moments later, orders issued here and there, Zack turned back to the screen.

"Now, Admiral...how about the TPP Mark One? We can end this quickly if you allow me to use the transphasic torpedos."

"Right now Captain our own forces are too near those ships-"

"Admiral, Thunderstorm has boarded the Hideki!"

Steve glared at the officer who had interupted. A simple piece of information that could have waited until AFTER the Fleet CO had finished. The Lieutenant looked away immediately back to his console. "Contact our ships, have them move from their targets and try to draw them away from Thrinacia, as soon as they're clear, give as many as you can - but DO NOT fire on any ships within range of the blasts. Our losses have been too great. You know your stuff Captain, Malloway out."

With a nod, the channel was closed, the main viewer returning to the battle as a crewman handed Steve a PADD. "Commander," The Admiral looked up to the XO, "liase with Commander Goodyear, assign more security forces to aid Ambassador Ornixen - Cardassians are now moving to board other decks, not just the Promenade." As he ordered the Commander's instruction he reached up and hit his commbadge. =/\=Malloway to Ambassador Ornixen, status down there?"=/\=
