Both were equally important, as without the factory they wouldn't be able to construct the proper facilities and reinforce their current fleet, but with the Aegis where it was, they risked losing a hell of a lot of firepower. Not to mention the life of his chief engineer as well. "Your orders sir?" Kurqruik asked, turning towards him. He glanced over at her, still deliberating, before finally coming to a decision. "Ready the jump drive," he said, leaning back in his seat as Kurqruik walked over to a nearby wall console and had four members of the crew reassigned. "Lathoor, plug in the coordinates." "Already on it," he replied, his appendages becoming a blur as he entered in the location to his station. "Everyone else strap in and be ready for an engagement when we arrive. I don't want the Empire taking us by surprise," Yiithren warned as the crew slowly got everything ready. After a few more minutes of preparation, the drive was finally ready, and the crew prepped for combat. "Ready to jump on your command," Kurqruik said. Yiithren nodded. "Good. Now lets go make sure our engineer doesn't get himself killed. Initiate jump on my mark." "3..." "2..." "1..." [b][I]"Mark."[/I][/b]
