YE/D01 - Bridge
==In the interests of regaining momentum, I am shifting us forward.==

The ship rocked, alarms wailed, and the hull made noises that suggested imminent structural collapse. The original Yeager, much as Jenny loved her, had not been designed for the line of battle; she'd been designed as an early warning or reconnaissance specialist first and foremost, and a blockade runner second. She had been built as a guard ship; to detect hostile ships approaching Deep Space Nine and either alert reinforcements or evacuate the crew before the enemy arrived.

The hodgepodge construction had not helped, either, and now the ship was paying dearly for her unconventional birth.

Jenny gripped the armrests of her command chair as something sounded like it snapped deep within the hull, and suppressed a wince. Though she knew the Yeager survived Operation Return and would see the rest of the war out as a picket ship once again, she had been heavily damaged during the battle and had been one of the last to reach the station. That was assuming this was a living memory of the past; if they were actually in the past and their actions had real-time consequences...

As T'Lari expertly dispatched the Os'rusa, Jenny quickly weighed up her options; make for the wormhole and hope for the best, or try and do things differently and potentially get everyone killed. If this was a living memory, they would need to make for the wormhole, and even if not, the science specialists had indicated that seemed to be their best chance of returning to their own time.

"Helm, put us back on a course for Deep Space Nine. Best possible speed."

The second Jem'Hadar fighter swept in again, energy weapons slicing deep into the Yeager's hull once again. It made the mistake of straying into the Yeager's torpedo coverage, however, and a volley of torpedoes annihilated the smaller ship even as it cut the Yeager to ribbons. Plasma conduits exploded shipwide, radiation leaks and hull breaches were detected on almost every deck, and the impulse power dropped to a fraction under ten percent. 

The Yeager was adrift.

And then the Bridge was normal again, the temporal anomaly ten thousand kilometres aft and extending. The Tusslebout appeared to have slowed, and was now close enough that, as the Yeager entered the final straight-shot of the course to the finish line, a bit of fancy flying could see the lead cut down significantly if not erased entirely. Of the Os'rusa, there was currently no sign.

With their main competitor for diplomatic reasons out of the way, for whatever reason, it was time to take on their other rival - the rival for the victor. While Jenny was perplexed and perturbed by what had just happened, the potential for winning and pulling off a major diplomatic coup was too great to ignore. 

"Arwen, please explain what the hell just happened? And Flint, if you can get us past the Tusslebout before the finish line, you make Chief in my next evaluation."
