ON:

Alesha after checking her sensors and finding she’d given the War Bird a more damaging hit than she’d thought, dropped her cloak. The weakness on the War Bird was a small area in the aft section of it. A direct hit had taken out the engines and done some damage to the cloak. The ship could be repaired as she’d only crippled it.

Turning Alesha headed back to the Amandora, the closer she got the more she could see the extent of the damage from the War Bird’s attack.

Alesha contacted the ship for clearance to land and was granted. Swinging around she lined up, shut down the engines and allowed the tractor beam to engage and bring her aboard. Alesha raised the canopy, removed her helmet and climbed out of her fighter. Turning she saw Tara standing there with her arms crossed. “What are you doing here?”

“Wondering what the hell you thought you were doing? Alesha you’re a damned good fighter pilot but to pull a hair brained stunt like that, taking on a fully armed War Bird, cloaked or not. That was careless and reckless,” Tara said

“Tara I knew it had a weakness and I knew I could take out the engines,” Alesha retorted “So I cloaked and went after it.”

“And you didn’t think to send command a text and tell them what you knew?” Tara demanded “How badly did you cripple it?”

“To be honest Tara I knew there was a chance communications were being monitored and was not sure about text messages so yes I chose to go alone. As far as how badly I crippled her, she’s adrift; I targeted the engines and damaged the cloak. She’s repairable, I hit the small section in her aft section. Had I not been cloaked I’d never have done it,” Alesha said

“You were still reckless,” Tara remarked “Damned fool stunt could have gotten you killed. You need to send the command staff a report on things and how you knew about that section in aft section on that war bird.”

Alesha nodded “I’ll have it all in my report.”

“I’ll let you get to it and you better hope Narla does not find out about this as she’ll have your hide,” Tara said as she turned and left the hanger bay.

Alesha watched her go and headed for her office. Opening a channel she sent the following message to Comodore Song and to Commander Green with the following report:

Commodore, Commander:

I know what I did seemed reckless, but a number of years ago I was captured and held hostage by the Romulans. My mum found out what ship I was on and rescued me. I overheard two guards on the War Bird I was being held on talking about how a well placed tachyon charge could temporarily reduce the cloak and where to fire at on the upper aft section on the war bird. I took that action today and the war bird’s engines are damaged as well as the cloak but both are repairable. I took those actions today to protect the Amandora. Lieutenant Herculoid called me reckless and perhaps I was but as I said I did what I did to protect the ship.

First Lieutenant
Alesha Rivers

Alesha re red her report and hit send.
