Captain Adam considers the proposal. He was about to agree when he received the ultimatum of target locking the Caldari ship, which was fair but Adam wasn't going in blind. He wasn't that stupid to assume any of the ships here could be trusted. "Captain" he said finally, "I accept, we will work together and I'm sure ORE and the Ishukone Corporation will work out who owes who, that's above my pay grade." he held up his hands in mock surrender, however he did not appear sorry in any way "I apologize captain, I operate in Null-sec you understand. I wont take chances if i can get more information quickly and easily. Besides you would have had a hell of a time catching a Cov-op frigate... Anyway, Once we get our situation sorted out here we will warp to 20km and figure out how we can preform some repairs to your ship. but there is a good chance I am lacking minerals. bah, we can work that out later. Until then captain" He nods to someone off camera and the link is shut off.

"Engineering, report"

"Shield core is gone, we will need a new one. armor plating is repaired and the super structure is undamaged. The jump drive will need some work to calibrate. Jump fuel is down to.. 4000 m3. lets see, the capacitor seems to have taken a glancing hit, its charging 8% slower than it should. Oh and one of the command linkage modules is down, mining will be a little slower by... 15%"

The captain sighed, "thats not too bad She has taken more of a beating than this before. what about our fleet?"

The engineer looked nervous at the question which prompted the captain to get concerned, that wasnt usually even a question. his fleet always survived due to the clones and neural download implants, it just... always worked. Hell, Adam had died in several blazes of glory in his career which just happened sometimes. The captain turned on the engineer sternly.

"Engineer. report."

"yes.. we are at about 1/2 strength. well.. less, we have plenty of ships but something.. we only have.." the engineer sighed looking quite upset "only half the fleet seemed to, uh survive, we only have 15 pilots."

"Thats impossible" said the captain not quite up to the point of believing that his pilots had actually died permanently.

"Sir the only pilots we have where killed before the jump or where aboard during the jump. Captain 'Venom' our chief Security wing commander is not with us nor are any of the Battleship pilots or the strategic cruiser, or the Interdictor.. we lost a great deal of capability." said the engineer obviously troubled "we are down to two covert ops pilots, two full frigate wings and an assault cruiser"

The captain swore in his native Gallente dialect, "Communications, send a tight beam transmission to the Carrier, flag it as urgent and for the captain only. Inform him that.. the clone facilities may not be working properly, we may not awaken in a clone bay aboard a ship or station if we die out here. He can do with that information what he will.

After her mission Zan and her ship warped to another capital ship she scanned down appearing cloaked 150km away from the Endeavor, she dropped cloak for several moments to preform a detailed scan of the ship before re-cloaking and warping towards another signature.

"well... that was helpful." mumbled Zan in her pod before relaying the information back to the Forge.
