Flint's face began to beam as he turned back to face the helm. “Aye, aye, Ma'am” He responded stretching each syllable to show his pleasure at the order. He even audibly cracked his knuckles as he began inputting the pursuit course to follow the Wairaran craft.
The Wairaran's had already accelerated to full impulse, giving them a head start, but Flint was more than confident that the Yeager's impulse drive could easily be pushed to out run the alien vessel without straining it beyond any safety parameters for this short run. He also suspected that Braggins knew this too, otherwise she probably wouldn't have effectively told him to taunt them.
“Slightly More, than full impulse. Engage.” He said as he brought the three quarter million ton ship from zero to around the quarter the speed of light in seconds.
