"Yes!" The word was said in her unfamiliar voice and was accompanied by a clenched fist pump. T'Lari found herself wearing a crooked smile, not with happiness but with grim satisfaction, as the Os'rusa's shield grid overloaded and collapsed. The Yeager's powerful forward phasers tore into the Cardassian vessel and explosions went off one after another down the length of the warship. It began to drift and the Tactical officer found herself wanting to fire again at the vulnerable vessel, to truly finish it off, before her Vulcan discipline reasserted itself.
Passion is the storm. The wise ride the wind and let it pass. The fool fights and is swept away. The Os'rusa was not destroyed in this battle, so do not risk a temporal abnormality and contain your bloodlust.
The words of Surak helped at least somewhat. Her currently-human mind was able to at least put emotion on the back burner with enough effort. Humans were capable of great feats of logic and discipline when they put effort into it. Unfortunately they all too often didn't bother. The feelings were still there, but rationality was (for the moment) in control.
Her eyes flicked to her control panel. The Os'rusa was out of the fight, but there was still another Jem'Hadar fighter out there, and while it had peeled away it would no doubt be reacquiring the Yeager shortly. She attempted to beat the Dominion soldiers to the punch and track the enemy ship along its last path, figuring where the faster and more maneuverable fighter would go to draw the best possible line of attack. The currently-not-a-Vulcan was used to such mental calculations, but she found her thoughts slow and sluggish when she tried.
You are currently human, not Vulcan, so stop trying to be Vulcan. Use your current state to your advantage.
The Lieutenant let her experience and judgement guide her, the gut feelings that she'd seen so many human Tactical officer use to make seemingly impossible shots. Based on that, the Jem'Hadar would be...
== GM Input: Can T'Lari target the other fighter? If she can she'll knock it out of the sky with whatever weapons are available. Overkill is perfectly acceptable. ==
