Target the lead ship and fire phasers...
Kira: Yes Commander. Target locked.
Nog: Coming around.
Hennessey: Fire!
O'Brien: They've taken moderate damage. They're pulling off.
Odo: The other three ships are closing.
There is a large explosion at the science console as sparks and smoke begin to fly. Luckily, there is no one at that post during this mission.
O'Brien: That rupture on deck 4 is getting worse. Another good assault and we could loose partial main power.
There is another explosion in the aft bridge section. You can feel the smoke surrounding your chair.
Hennessey: Continue assault, Major.
Major: Yes sir. The lead ship has been destroyed.
Nog: But those other three are coming back around.
Odo: We can't take many more hits like the last one.
O'Brien: I'm rerouting power again to compensate for those EPS ruptures. Shields strength is at 80 percent and continuing to fall. I can't seem to stabilize the power grid.
There is another violent explosion as Chief O'Brien is knocked from his chair.
Nog: Chief!
Odo: Are you alright?
O'Brien: I'm fine, Constable. But it doesn't look so good for the power grid. The ruptures on deck 4 have caused a power overload on deck 2. The cloaking device has been destroyed and the shields are continuing to fall.
Hennessey: Evassive proceedures, Ensign. We can't afford...
Nog: Commander, the forward RCS quads have lost power! Manueverability is down to 75 percent.
Hennessey: Make every shot count, Major.
Kira: Yes sir.
Odo: A second ship has been destroyed, Commander.
The bridge shakes as the remaining Jem'Hadar ships open fire on the Defiant. There is a strange surging noise as the lights begin to dim even further.
O'Brien: Those last shots are causing a cascade reaction throughout the EPS power grid. We're loosing main power throughout the ship. The EPS power taps are about to overload. And if they do, we'll loose the entire PTC system.
Nog: If you want warp speed, sir, we had better do it now, while we still can.
Kira: We haven't completed our objectives yet!
Odo: And we may not be able to.
Hennessey:
The Major's right. Continue your assault. Chief, try and stabilize the EPS taps.
You're right, Ensign. Get us out of here, maximum available warp.
