The first impact sent West stumbling back to her chair. It took a few seconds for her to shrug off the impact. Making her own idea of just how much those inertial dampeners were effective, she listened to the LT's report. When it came to 'One more hit', she couldn't help growling "As if we can do something more about that." Her mind was storming for a solution, but the only one she had was to launch the nukes to clear the way, and that might have blown them up right alongside the debris. Reentering hyperspace without shields and with weakened hull also didn't seem like the best of ideas. No, they had to continue.

And then they were clear. Alexis looked around to check the damage herself, while being fed more by Astridh. "What's the chance, one in a billion?" she asked rhetorically, "Tell the damage control teams to prioritize getting the power back. Nothing much we can do for people that might have been in the vented parts of the ship and the bulkheads will prevent other leaks for now. I want the shield online ASAP." she said, wanting the ship protected first. Pressing the comm control, she connected to the gate room: "Re-calibrate the gate for local coordinates and dial Earth, then patch me through!" she said sharply, "TO, get four 302s into the air and assume escort positions. Any of that debris starts heading our way I want it redirected." she said, remembering the fighters could tow stuff.
