The battle with the Nomad was a stalemate. The Arconas would be winning normally, as it was in fairly good shape except for the frozen section, while their opponents had no thrust, little to no missiles left, and no shields. Unfortunately, the Nomad Had that blasted stasis ray.

[Darn those crafty Nomad scientists! :P]

The gunners were having trouble keeping a bead on the ship, as the Arconas kept having to roll, flip or otherwise dodge the stasis ray. This stalemate would continue until either they ran out of charge for that ray, or the ray managed to hit the bridge.

[In laymens terms, "bad end" for Adure's ship if that happens. <.<]

On the plus side Adure thought as the deck rolled under him At least they haven't used a wide beam, like they must have on earth.

[Yeah, again, the Nomad possesses multiple versions of the time-stop beam, but most of them are much more compact than the Earth-wide one.]

If they had used a wide earth-sized beam, they would be completely frozen. It was, they could only freeze them one section at a time.

He was nearly thrown from his chair as they just barely dodged another red beam. They couldn't keep this up for much longer. A new tactic was required. He keyed the intercom.

"Security teams, report to shuttle bays. Gunners, concentrate fire on the spot right above the engines. I want you to blow a hole in the hull." He switched off the intercom. "Stanley, you have the bridge. I'm going out on the shuttles." He picked up his comlink and his blazer pistol. He turned on his comlink: "Fire!!" He shouted. Then he ran to the lifts. As he arrived in the shuttle bay, he heard the first volley being fired.

[The plan springs into action! :O]

"All right, boss. You've your hole." Came Stanley's voice. "Thanks." He responded as he clambered into one of the shuttles. He slapped his link off. "All right, boys. We're gonna be space walking for a while, so get your suits on. Avoid killing anyone, but if they're shooting at you, stun'm." He told the security team as his put on his Space Walk Suit.

"Alright, Stanly. Take us on a close approach on the hole. We're going in"

[Well, not too much to say on this post either sadly. I must be worn down right now, or just hitting something of a dry spell. >.>]
