<USS Avalon> Chancing Luck

Chancing Luck

by Junior Lieutenant Anthony Manson

Anthony looked up as he saw Sierra and Skyler walk out of the bridge. Not a 
moment too soon, the Captain came out and requested for possible tactical 
strategies. He placed up the notes that had been stored in case of something 
like this. There were several, but considering that the other ship was of 
advance technology, Anthony figured that the Avalon had a few seconds to a few 
minutes-maximum- gain before the other ship adapted.

There was only one solution so far that he had manage to get out under these 
circumstances, and have the hope that they would get out of it relatively 
unscathed. It required first- the use of their engines, he had checked out, but 
so far no reports came out. Second- in a split second of sequences- a 
re-modulation of the ships deflectors to emit a fake reading of another ship- 
just like the Avalon- on an intercept course with hostile intent. While that 
was happening, Anthony could launch a probe and have it emit a high intensity 
burst of artificial light. But someone else- since using phasers was going to 
be useless and his hands were already going to be filled- needed to transport 
four torpedo casings near what looked like the ship?s engine exhaust ports- 
close enough so that contact detonation would be immediate. The overall result 
would be a blind-hit tactic. And right now, Anthony could not read out- not 
surprisingly- any familiar shields or any kind; it was to be assumed that the
 other ship saw the Avalon as no threat and maybe- just maybe- had their 
shields down. Once the number of sequence done, Conn would have to get us to a 
planet not much more then a year-and-a-half away from their current position. 

While that was happening, Anthony would re-modulate the deflector dish again to 
give another false readout making it appear that the Avalon was heading the 
opposite direction of their intended flight path. 

But all this depended on engines being functional so that escaping would be 
fast. If it wasn?t, it would be a fight.

Taking a breath, and letting it out, "Captain. I may have something for you but 
it requires..."
