Remy broke the stratosphere of the planet and made his way to the Calypso. He maintained complete control of the Delta Flyer Runabout just as the space battle formed in front of them. "Looks like we have company." Remy said firmly, adjusting his course slightly, before coming to a complete stop. "Captain, I would like to remind you that while the Horus is more than capable of handling itself. I can keep us out of sight for the time being or keep join in the jamboree. You decide."
[NEW]
"What's the status of the Calypso?" Sam asked. "Normally, the ship is more than capable of dealing with this situation, but they don't seem able to do so."
"Horus? Answer the ladies question." Remy shouted.
"The Calypso has no engines and no shields. Damage to hull is increase and may exceed threshold." The Horus's AI replied.
Remy looked over his shoulder to Sam and added. "She may need a few days in the garage, but all and all, I think she is holding pretty well." He said with a bit of sarcasm before turning back to the console. "So, what's our plan? Make for the ship or deal with the enemy ships? Keep in mind, your people will deal with the Horus's repairs and will be under extreme supervision when doing so."
Sam turned her full attention on Remy. "If the Calypso falls, repairs will be the least of your worries. Put all the mercenary ships on screen. Let's see what we're up against. That will help us decide our best course of action."
Logan grunted slightly before tapping his console. "Looks like there are two, no three, marauder class vessels le- Wait." He raised a brow and looked over to Remy. "We have an overseer, Remy."
Tallas raised a brow. "Overseer?"
"An on looker. A ship, usually a heavier class, acting as a General. Relaying orders to the other ships. They stay out of sight, but maintain a constant reading of the battlefield." Remy replied, looking over to Logan. "Class?"
"Heavy Starship... I'm guessing one designed for heavy offense." Logan replied, looking back to his console.
"Probably as a backup to come in and sweep up resistance." Remy replied softly before raising a brow. "Mister Logan? Did you, by chance, ever get around to putting away that Jem'Hadar mine we found a few missions back?"
Logan looked over to Remy and replied. "I still wanted to run some tests on it and relay my findings to Starfleet Intel. Jayna was gonna set some time aside to help me in order to speed up my work." He paused a bit and raised a brow. "Why?"
Remy smiled devilishly before tapping his console. "Because we're going to use it." He looked over to the Captain and said. "Captain? It's time we sunk their battleship." He turned to face Logan and shouted. "Logan! Set the mine up for deployment! We're gonna give that ship and special delivery. Courtesy of Rembrandt Batiste."
Logan got up and let out a sigh. "They rest of us are here too, by the way."
"Don't spoil the moment." Remy said before turning back to his console.
Tallas looked over to Sam and said. "Captain? Request permission to help Mister Logan? If this is our plan, of course."
Sam nodded her approval. "Please do. I'll inform the Calypso."
She tapped her combadge. "York to Calypso. Have the fighters focus on the three marauders. We have a special delivery to make to the people orchestrating the battle."
"Yes, ma'am," Anli said. "Good to have you back. Well, almost back."
"Good to almost be back, Anli. York out."
[Fighters]
The pilots were happy to oblige. The bombing mission was scraped in favor of the Horus' attack. They split into three pairs and prepared to attack as soon as the other ship was destroyed.
Phoenix and Puma flew around the back of the Calypso to come at one of the marauders from a different direction as soon as the Horus took out the other ship. With everything that had gone on before, it was nice to have something go in their favor.
TAG HORUS
"There it is," Phoenix said over the comm. "Use the distraction to take out the other ships."
Puma began to sing an inappropriate song in Spanish as she went after the weapons of one of the marauders.
Phoenix didn't say anything as she let Puma take the lead, following behind to make sure the weapons were destroyed.
Bojay and Wedge pivot on what seemed to be the same set of strings. Having flown together for so long they are aware of each other's position naturally. Bojay took the lead with his Wingman right on the tail; both men were lined up for a run on the Maurader vessel.
Lances of light lashed out to key targeted points; explosions in their wake as they progressed down adjacent sides of the ship then peeling away out of obvious lines of fire.
And then it was over.
"Well done, everyone," Samantha said over the open comms. "Calypso, we're coming home. Bring in the fighters. Let's get back to Vulcan to effect repairs."
