"Sir!" A cry came from a far-flung corner of the Wormeara's bridge. "The Emperor's Revenge is hailing."
"Put it on vision console three." Worm ordered.
A figure of an officer appeared. He had a look of concern.
"Admiral, Sir. We have lost our forward auxiliary bridge. We have a coolant leak in sector 2. It's under control, but were having problems with our computers, sir."
Worm thought for a moment, then turned to Welleon.
"Captain, I'm going to the ship, ready my shuttle."
"Yes, sir."
A few minutes later Grand Admiral was standing amongst the wreckage of the auxiliary bridge. The ship could still operate with either the main bridge, or two auxiliary bridges. Starboard shields were at 89%, and bridge shields at 51%. They were getting hit hard, but only three enemy ships were still operational, the rest no more than flaming wrecks. All this for the loss of four hundred fighters, mostly Interceptors, and five Wormnaughts, plus three Worm Destroyers. Two more Wormnaughts were badly damaged.
"Sir!" came a cry from his left. "We have four freighter sized craft on scanner." Worm looked through a window and saw three Medium Freighters and an Assault Shuttle. There was no guess to who it was.
