<Captain Alea Vatton> "Don't make me laugh Captain Korhal, you and I both know those macro-cannons will bounce off my ship like las rounds off a terminator. Captain, what if I were to make you a more...profitable offer?" Her voice exuded calmness and sincerity, and the glint in her eyes suggested that it wasn't just her voice at play here.
"Continuing attack vector, ma'am. Minimum Firing Range in less than two minutes." The pilot updated his commander-at-chief, preparing for the upcoming space battle.
Walking to the bridge Kraig decided he would have a look see what was going on. Not much he could really do here in the galley anyways! "Well it looks like this could get interesting. Any special orders from the kitchen ma'am?" He hopped up onto one of the chairs so he could atleast be comfortable, and hopefully not get tossed around like a ratling rag doll!
<Captain Alea Vatton> She swiftly muted her end of the conversation with the Captain and turned to address her bridge crew. "Excellent Kar'Vesh, get us just within range while we wait for a reply, his ship might be technically bigger, but its mostly cargo space, not crew. And Kraig, unnecessary personnel are not allowed inside the Bridge during combat operations. Now, since the kitchen won't be used for a bit, you can prepare to board behind the Marines and begin taking inventory of what they give us."
Hopping down off his chair he grunted as he hit the floor and pulled up his trousers. "Aye Cap'n." He exited the bridge and made his way down to the boarding docks. Seriously all he wanted was a good seat for the show! Now he gets the 'privilege' of boarding the enemy ship himself. Once he arrives and saw the boarding party preparing he hung out near the back, nonsense getting directly in their business when he was merely along for the ride.
< @MetalDog4 @Uriel1339 @Vulpas > Korhal's response came soon enough. "An Eldar? Under command of an Imperial vessel, despite an odd design? Heresy, no matter what deal you may have!" It seemed she came across one of the more devout merchant captains. "I shall wipe you off the face of the galaxy, Corsair!" At that moment, the macro-cannons opened fire, a hail of shots that Kar'Vesh can easily avoid at this range, but it would get trickier the closer he got to boarding range. [OOC: As a reminder as to what weaponry the Sapphire has]
@MetalDog4 "My men are in position, Captain", voxes Satani, performing a last-second checkup on her carbine and the trench knife attached to her hip. She looked over to her men, and then simply towards the hatch they'd use to leave the ship eventually. "Say the word and we board."
"Any specific point where you want an entry for the boarding crew? We could virtually punch a hole in anywhere in their craft." Kar'vesh inquired, making a lazily-relaxed avoidance maneuver against the incoming shot, simply tilting the craft to let the projectile fly through the void. OOC: Who is even our main gunner, btw?
<Captain Vatton> "Very well Captain Korhal, feel free to change your mind at any point. I would love to have you and your officers as guests but there is time yet for that." She watched impassively as the macro rounds sailed by before putting out the general order. "Forward batteries, open fire on their engines and weapons. Satani, do your best to capture instead of kill, but not at the cost of your men eh? Prisoners are to be treated with the utmost care."
[OOC: if I was to guess I would say Domino. Considering he's a devastator and your Havoc has just joined up with the borders.]
