Intruders on Bridge!

[Falstaff]

So there I am... Sitting in system babysitting a diplomat to Galcom when an enemy craft appears on scope. I target the foe and order my shuttle to tow the diplomat --to keep his happy butt in place. They never stay with their escorts! Enemy craft targets the Lady Anne and hypershunts. Minute and 30 away...

Suddenly....

Intruders!

Pop up perscan. 5 intruders. Where?

Where?

Bridge..... and my AE has 30% health. What to do?

I went for a space walk. Come to find out they've got medkits in these spacesuits. Heal until out of medkits... Wait... Wait... Get back aboard. Intruders still on deck. Resnig shouting about combat on the deck, blah blah... Hostile vessle 45 seconds away...

I went back outside. Hey, would you look at that. I must have picked up somebody elses suit. Either that or the janitorial staff is dang efficient There's more medkits in this one! So I count down a few more seconds, knowing the hostile is seconds away, and jump back aboard.... Just in time to take it off of A/P and blast the ship to pulp as it came out of hyper and then go for another walk because Resnig still doesn't have the bridge clear.

Yah know, the large gloves on a space suit make it darn hard to twiddle your thumbs. I also noticed a few dings and scrapes on the paint I hadn't noticed before and I think the aft turret is slightly bent... But I digress.

Five minutes later the intruders are off the bridge and lurking around the shuttle bays playing cat and mouse...

But to top it all off.... The marines ordered to combat by the estimed Resnig were all still in their underwear, ordered to search straight out of their off duty time. No wonder it took so long to route the intruders. I've got marines running around in their bloody underoos hunting fully armed EF marines. One of these days Resnig is going to get shot out a missile tube.

hehe, each time you to enter your craft, everything gets nicely restocked. I think there's a drone somewhere in that airlock who does that.
