Neil bounced back into action with surprising endurance and dexterity. Every time the ship jerked as he sprinted for the cockpit, he'd leap as if he expected it. In actuality, timing the blasts and automated maneuvers by AVLN was fairly easy once you knew a few of the technical aspects of the ship. One leap had him touch the ceiling with his hands, and he swung by a pipe above him to continue forward through the cockpit access corridor. 

Neil found himself in the cockpit, making sure the sublight thrusters were at maximum thrust before flipping on the Combat Maneuver Panel and reorienting the ship's radar to enhance upon the unidentified ship that AVLN had detected. He needed to find out what the son of a bitch was firing at them. "Lonney, lock in the auxiliary power and keep me informed of our shields," Neil said, taking control of the ship's turn and bank display. 

The warning light on the top right flashed and Neil suddenly turned off the thrusters and spin the Highlander to the bottom left in a dive. The missile the warning beacon had cautioned him of flew clear, but it gave Sayeeda a perfect shot to take out the projectile as it did its best to turn and redirect course toward the [i]Highlander[/i] once more. Neil had completed his maneuver and turned the ship around toward the cruiser heading for them. On the Combat Maneuver Display, he saw their targeting systems were locked onto whomever was after them. 

With a smirk, he unlocked the Nidhogg torpedo release atop the controls and fired off two screaming missiles. They arced visibly out of the window before disappearing into the vastness of space. From the moniter however, he saw the ship chasing them was doing its best to make an evasive action. 

"Two minutes before we're clear lass, if we get back o' track tha' is." 

The ship bumped as Neil steered and reoriented the controls. "Shaaadup." the young man said, banking the ship back around to their previous coordinates and enhancing the thrusters once more so they could make time.
