The optic port on Nexus dimmed to a waver. The machine had heard the directive from the Captain. Analyzing weak points was a much more difficult job than controlling systems of a ship. One had to discern if power fluctuations were a point of weakness via intensive long-period wear or just rapid use. That being said, even pirates held onto some logs of ship-repairs and the like. Scanning through the frigate it had already partially invaded, Nexus located repair orders. Mitigating more than a handful of cores to begin injecting Nexus' own code into their ships, the progress on total system control was heavily decreased. It would now take twice as long, but Nexus was able to gain insight on all the ships.

	"Captain, three ships henceforth known as Alpha, Bravo and Charlie. Interior ship scans state Charlie as the most heavily fortified, however we are in the process of over-riding control to core systems. Direct main fire at Alpha and Bravo. Alpha sustains the most damage, with several bulkheads and airlocks crippled. Bravo misses a structural component - the wing - but remains intact." The machine informed the Captain of what it had found preliminary on the ships, as its own intended purpose for Charlie.

	The machine switched its broadcast mode to a more open projection. "Geu'rach, if you read, we are sending locked positional updates on where you are to fire the weapon. With calculated movement projections and weapons spread the shell should strike within the breach of Alpha. Intended purpose is to suffocate remaining members on board or quarantine them to unimportant sections of the ship for later capture; whichever occurs first. Carthus, Bravo reports of multiple weapon repairs in recent times. Their weapons are faulty and/or improperly set. If you must take a hit, attempt to force Bravo into performing it." 

	The machine paused, checking on the progress of flooding Charlie's mainframe. It had already began working, marginally. The system was slower to respond, with a second of lag to every action. This was incredibly advantageous, but the stress was taking hold on Nexus from extended use mitigating its cores. A deep rumble from within the machine pulsed through the ship. Plates in the robots chest slid out then open to the sides to reveal eight ports, four to each side. Two on either side suddenly began venting steam in long cloud-like burst. The venting ceased after a quick five second burst. The heat had been building up too great to diffuse through the thermoplastic properly.
