Chapter III: Reunited

Cass

Suddenly, a strange spaceship drops out of warp only a few thousand kilometers away from the Verdun. It's smaller than the Potential, shaped like a rounded V and completely metallic green. You've never seen any ship of this make before.
Before you can react, the ship fires off two photon torpedoes, one at the Potential and one at your ship.
The pirate ship you are on gets shaken heavily as you get hit. Two consoles burst into flames but overall, you seem to be holding steady. "Shields at 62%!", exclaims Davis.
You watch as the other torpedo hits the Potential at the edge of its saucer section before they can completely raise their shields. A piece of it blows up and the Potential starts spiralling from the hit.

Marbo

You're doing preparations in the cargo bay, when suddenly, the Potential shakes violently. The red alert starts blaring through the speakers and the lamps start flashing red. Suddenly, a message in Darcy's voice sounds through the speaker in cargo bay: "Section 7A of the saucer section has been critically hit. Medical personell move to adjacent sections immediately!"

Cass, you give the order to fire on the Verdun and after a second of hesitation, Mezron follows your order.
A phaser beam hits the Verdun, shaking it and damaging their shields. The shields are still holding, but barely.
In response, the newly arrived ship fires another blast at you (not at the Potential, since you're in the way) and drains your shields down to 39%.
At this point, the Potential raises their shields and fires at the newly arrived ship. They land a direct hit but its shields appear to be holding.

People on the Verdun, you are being fired on. Some consoles around you burst into flames and the ship automatically starts Red Alert.
The pirates shoot at you all and another member of the security team goes down after being hit by a phaser blast.

Lorq and Zephyr are both knocked out right now, Kendall is still fine and firing at the pirates, Moira is surrounded by the pirates and can give me a Feelings roll to see how she's doing

Moira, the pirates around you move in on you. One of them grabs your shoulder and moves in to bite you but you manage to punch him in the face to stop the attack. Two more reach for your face.
You did not take any damage yet but you are still in immediate danger!

Cass, you order Mezron to fire at the Verdun again this time, the shot goes wide. She gets ready to fire one more time but before she can, you are shaken by another phaser blast from the new ship again. You're shields are getting critical at only 25%

Marbo finishes his final setup of the cargo-medbay, throws the spare supplies in the shuttle, and begins to move towards the turbolifts.
