Johnson rapidly recalls his academy time, and in a flurry, shuts down a few non-essential systems, and dumps the sewage. Doesn't seem to make much of a difference in the power system... "Aye, Skipper! Done!"

Seeing that the Videni ship was preparing to enter Warp to flee, Jasper makes a split second decision and yells, "Fire torpedo! Fire lasers!"

"Target acquired! Tracking ... tracking... " muttered Grayson, looking through the periscope style control to line up the two Xs on the other ship so he could be assured of a hit. "Tracking... come on... you evil critter... FIRE!" he punched down hard on the buttons and hoped beyond hope he wouldn't hit empty space where the Videni ship had been but a moment before. Knowing as well the sacrifice the Captain had deemed necessary in order to fire the lasers, he prayed the shot wouldn't be wasted!
Looking up to the viewscreen, then at the console to scan for damage to the energy ship, he asks "Did we get it?"

As Grayson mutters, Paddy is focused upon the other weapons console. "Locked...." Paddy announces. "Torpedo Away! It's tracking... it's tracking... "
Johnson, focusing on the sensors, "Incoming fireball!"
Then Graysons beam lances forward into the Videni just as its warp engines come online, rendering it no longer capable of much of anything; the torpedo renders the parts scattering.
Johnson, forcing himself back into a chair, calls out loudly"Brace for it... Impact in 3... 2... 1..."
The Fireball rolls up, powering through the screens, rattling everyone, and causing numerous cells to blow in the power pod.

Lights and indicators go off as the ship is rocked by the Videni fireball, and Jasper firmly grasps the arms of the Captain's chair to keep from being thrown to the deck. He kept his eyes focused on the Videni ship on the screen and once he sees it destroyed, he clenches his fist in an emotional show of relief and accomplishment.
His heart was racing and he took a several deep breaths quietly to calm his emotions, and to be able to speak with a calm and detached tone of voice.
He clears his throat slightly and says with a touch of pride in his voice, "well done everyone. Now, let's see about the damage done to us. Mr. Vork, I want a complete damage assessment ASAP. Mr. Johnson and Mr. O'Keef, I want a complete visual inspection of the ship ASAP. Mr. Grayson, I want a complete sensor sweep of this sector. Let's see if there are any more Videni ships in the area."

Once he finished punching the air Grayson suddenly had to hang on as the ship rocked as though it were on a wild ocean. With billowing clouds of white smoke and bright flashes from various random consoles, he had to shield his face and peer through his fingers to see that his console was still intact. "Sensor sweep. Aye." said Grayson. He stared blankly at the console. "Bugger." he muttered, before pressing a button.
OOC oh dear, if this is technical he's gonna look like an idiot.

OOC going on from his roll of 17 for sensors...
"Ah, the console is showing some strange readings sir. Possibly some damage, or interference from defective systems. Want to take a look or have one of the others check for a second opinion? If ah was ta guess, the system is empty save fer us. But ah can't be sure. Sorry. Sir." he mumbled.

"Alright, Mr. Grayson," Jasper says as he gets up and walks over to the Sensors station, "let me have a look too then."
After fiddling with the sensors for a few moments, Jasper sighs and says, "you're right, Mr. Grayson, there does seems to be some interference, but the systems looks clear to me too."
==============================================
OOC: Jasper's sensor check failed with a 19 roll.

"Where to now sir? Report to command and continue? Unfortunately there's no real way to determine if the Videni were the cause of the Freighters' demise without going back to check the Freighter out, but ah'll bet ma grannies last set o teeth that it was them causin' all the bother, yes sir." he said, standing, and straightening his red shirt. Then he glanced at the console. "Ah reckon I'm better sittin somewhere else..." and he moves over to another console.

"I agree, Mr. Grayson. I believe that our Videni ship was responsible for the freighter's demise," Jasper says casually and then shrugs his blue-furred shoulders as he continues, "however, that matter is no longer in our hands, nor purview. We continue with our planned mission."
Jasper winks and pats Mr. Grayson on the shoulder as he says, "we may be hurt, but we still have a job to do here, and as long as we have power we'll do our job to the best of our abilities."

Spaceman Vork points to the engineering insignia, and asks, "Should we take the slop day and attempt some repairs, skipper? If we both work it right, we should be able to power half shields, warp two, and life support, and maybe even have enough left for a shuttle."

Jasper absently combed through his blue fur on his head with his fingers while he thought about the situation before responding to Mr. Vork. Having made his decision, he takes a deep breath to calm his voice when he speaks.
"Mr. Grayson, drop our shields," he says from the Captain's chair, "Mr. Vork, set course for Waypoint 0609 and proceed at Warp 3."

"Aye, Sir. 68% power use," Vork turns, plots the course, and tries to hide his hangdog look.

"Shields down sir. Guess we can relax for a while. Ma stomach is doing flips ah can tell ya. T'aint nothin' like the simulators." drawled the Ensign.
He leaned over to check the course, heading and estimated time of arrival. "May be time fer more trouble yet though, so ah'm gonna keep ma mouth shut."

"you just may be right, Mr. Grayson," Jasper says with a far away tone, but then continues in a more immediate voice, "change course for the Knikniknik System and proceed at Warp 1 please."
