Sera had been holed up in the cockpit for too long, she was about to go on a break when the damned Espers attacked. The Pathfinder was taking heavy damage, and systems were failing one by one. A prompt came up on the systems analysis terminal to her right, she didn't even get a chance to read it before the AI blared out the issue.

"CRITICAL ENGINE FAILURE"[/h3][/color][/centre]

Sera swore under her breath, as the captain asked if she could pull the old girl together. She really didn't need him staring over her right now. [b][color=00a651]"Uh. one second sir,"[/color][/b] she said pulling up a full analysis of the damage, [b][color=00a651]"Main thrusters are down, we're running on Retro's and the RCS until engineering gets them back... oh fuck these guys"[/color][/b] she cut her sentence as she swung the ship around to give the guns a better view of the attackers - all she could do now was slight course adjustments and pivot her around if she didn't want to be a sitting duck, she hammered a few buttons under the dashboard. A terminal or two lit up, but flickered. [b][color=00a651]"RADAR and LADAR systems are on the fritz but they stay up long enough for what we're using 'em. If you want my opinion, we're all kinds of fucked until we get mobility again. Maybe we should prepare to be boarded, give these guys a run for their money".[/color][/b]

Another thud hit the hull of the ship - if Sera wasn't strapped in she would have been thrown from her seat. Even the commander seemed to be struggling with his balance. Another terminal died.
