Twin pulses from your lasers light up the back of the Phocian's ship. You have hit part of the main drive reactor and the Corsair hangs in space, drifting. Small puffs of flame at one side of its hull show you that the pilot is using the weak retro rockets in an attempt to angle his ship towards that of the Keladi envoy. It will be a few minutes, you estimate, before he is able to target his lasers. Do you:
Match velocity with the stricken hulk and board her? | Turn to 263 |
Finish her off with your ship's pulse lasers? | Turn to 276 |
