The Broken Arrow

[Gath]

Gath witnessed the reaction when A'kilees began cutting. He cautioned the Engineer, [Mister A'kilees, you may need to reduce your cutting to a very fine focused beam, or a mechanical cutting tool. This hull is reacting to the heat. I also suggest avoiding the stringers and longerons until the very end. We remove the hull plating first and the minor support structures last. We should be able to avoid the bulkheads entirely. We may be able to use the brittle nature of the hull to our advantage. I'm going to try and score it and then break off some of it, to widen some of the damaged opening.]

The tractor beam gave the hull a mild vibration that could just barely be felt when grabbing it with a gloved hand. Gath reached to his belt and retrieved something clipped there that looked like a small batton. When he activated it, an axe head unfolded from the grip, giving him a short handled axe with a fair sized cutting edge. He looked at how the overlay in his visor lined up where the structural supports were and then gave the damaged plating a mild hit to test how deeply his duranium edge scored the hull aloy. He then would try bending the piece of metal in hopes of it fracturing and allowing it to be removed to then repeat the process and begin creating some access to the interior.
