==Apologies for the delay, everyone. This post was meant to go up on Wednesday, but life life-d.==
==Diaz==
The three smaller craft had ceased pursuing the Yeager, and turned instead to close on the USS Zephyr, a Steamrunner-class Escort that appeared to have materialised out of nowhere. Unfortunately the Zephyr was currently between the Aquila and the Escorts, blocking their line of fire.
==Coppola==
There were no survivors from the Inaeiu. A slow-motion replay of the ship's destruction would show that the Cardassian torpedoes had breached the Quantum Torpedo magazine, and secondary explosions had rippled down the hull, leading to a critical and catastrophic reactor breach. Everyone in the primary hull had probably been dead before the torpedo magazine finished exploding, and the crew on the secondary hull would have been cooked alive, blown into space, or torn asunder before the antimatter feeds ruptured.
==Talion==
Even with sufficient levels of overkill, shooting through a debris field virtually guaranteed that not every attempt would be successful. Of the three groups of nanobots deployed, two failed to register as having contacted the Hutet. The third group contacted the shields, but was showing only 33% deployment, and not all attacking the systems specified - in fact, many of them seemed to be dispersing at random. Far from the technical infestation or infection planned, the plan had now created something more akin to a "gremlin" from old Earth superstition.
==All==
The three Keldon-class Battlecruisers were now in weapons range, and the Aquila rocked as heavy disruptor beams slammed into her shields. The Aquila wasn't currently in their torpedo arcs, but outnumbered three-to-one, it was only a matter of time before the Aquila started taking a serious beating. Fortunately the Hutet seemed to now be focusing its attention on the Zephyr, who had also attracted the attention of the Hidekis, leaving the Yeager free to engage at will.
There was no immediate effect on the Hutet, yet. The bots who had decided to go rogue would need time to infiltrate systems and do whatever they were programmed to do.
