On the one hand, things were looking good. The Artemis had taken effectively no damage - it would take some time for the shield generators to get back up to full strength, but not that long - and the tractor beam was holding strong.
On the other, the qoH was threatening to explode.
Whoever passed for an engineer over there was pushing the drives. Jaein didn't know if they didn't know that the engines weren't responding, or if they just didn't care. Either way, it wasn't exactly good. "Tractor beam in place and holding, Captain," he called, "but that energy buildup? It's not looking good.
"I don't know what they're thinking, but the generators are creeping towards the red line. At current rates, call it 10 minutes before it can't be reversed. I'm keeping a close eye on it."
He said a silent prayer to the Prophets, hoping that Hu would be alright in getting the situation in hand, and that the away teams would be swift.
