Baldwin could see the power-distribution model, comparing Cortez’s staggered conditioning profile confirms that the reduced environmental demand translates into a clean, usable buffer of auxiliary power. Apart from the threat of another direct hull strike, the EPS junctions on Deck 3 and the secondary sensor array feeds remain completely stable, free of harmonic fluctuations or thermal spikes.
Suddenly several flags appeared om Baldwin’s master systems display an urgent new priority where her assistance is needed: the rapid-fire discharge of the aft burst-fire torpedo launcher and rear phaser arrays, combined with the heavy port-side disruptor hits taken moments earlier, is causing a localized heat buildup along the aft weapons power couplings and the port-aft shield emitter relays on Deck 4.
"Baldwin, take that power margin Cortez just freed up and dump it straight into the Deck Four aft weapons cooling loops and our port-aft shield relays. Keep Powl's rear guns cold and that port quadrant standing!" ordered the Commander.
"Ay, Commander," she said." Ens Baldwin had never been on a bridge in a battle before. She had feelings rising in her that she had little experience of handling or blocking,. They where strong feelings.
Is this what fear feels like? Living on Earth all of my life has made me ill equipped because of a lack of Vulcanization! Especialy in a roles like engineering I'm not particularly trained in.
Ens Cortez spoke and withdrew her from her self-indulgence "Ensign Baldwin the environmental load reduction is holding within the model's projections. The auxiliary margin should be available for the aft weapons cooling loops and port-aft shield relays, as the Captain directed. I'd recommend we keep a close watch on the Deck Four coupling temperatures as that reserve comes online. If another disruptor strike drives the portside feedback higher, we may need to reassess how much of that margin we can safely commit."
Ens Baldwin acknowledged Ens Cortez.
Another surprise put her back on the Vulcan track as Lt Gath came up behind her and looked at what was in progress on the monitor, "Outstanding! Keep up the good work!"
Soon after Commander Ameen called out "Good to have you back on the deck, Gath, and that shield-modulated launch is the exact force multiplier we need," his voice cutting cleanly through the bridge clamor. "Powl, Gath, execute right now! Powl, dump a full aft torpedo barrage straight down the throats of the two Hidekis on our tail to blind their forward scopes. The second that ordnance clears the tube, Gath, punch the Aura and the Boreas out through the modulated shield window on those vertical crossing axes. Have the drones harass their forward shields and force them to break stride!"
Ens Baldwin realized she had to work quickly and accurately other wise there may be no launch of weapons and worst still the aft shield may go down. She had to correct this before the Shuttles launched.
Ava rerouted the newly freed environmental power reserve into the aft thermal dissipation loops and reinforcing the port-aft shield emitter circuits, so that the rear weapons cycling cleanly and prevent the port-aft shield quadrant from buckling as the chase continued. She finish the transfer of power exactly thirty seconds before the weapons fired and the Shuttles launched.
If there was a lesson to be leant from these intense moments on the bridge it was not to wallow in self-indulgence, it was strictly logic and do your job from now on!
