Holonovel--Page Eight


"It's too late, sir!!"

By the time you hear the order, the Imperial's shields have automatically reversed polarity to absorb the enemy weapons fire, but as an unexpected result of the opposite polarities of the shields and the enemy fire, the weapons fire has cruised through the Imperial's shields as if the Imperial has no shields at all. Your ship rocks. You hit the "depolarize" button, but there is no response. A quick glance at your damage console shows why:
Shields []0%
Impulse Engines              [] 60%
Warp Engines                  [] 53%
Hull                                  [] 70%
SEVERE DAMAGE TO WEAPONS; SYSTEMS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Phasers: [ ==PHASER BANKS DESTROYED== ] 0%
Photon:  [] 27%
Quantum:[ ==QUANTUM TORPEDOES DETONATED IN TORPEDO BAYS== ] 0%
Klingon Disruptor:[] 97%
Weapons Control : [] 0%
You look at your weapons console:
WEAPONS CONTROL OFF-LINE

WEAPONS CONTROL OFF-LINE
Suddenly, Lieutenant Connors yells, "We're being boarded!"
You watch as a transporter deposits two Romulans on the bridge.
You:
run to the weapons locker on the bridge.
run into the turbolift.
scream.
