"It seems that our phaser fire was insufficient, they have boosted their shields at the last second somehow. They are now drifting into the ice giant's atmosphere, I doubt they are in any shape to survive reentry and we are too far away to catch them in a tractor beam..." Ameen said as he read the data appearing on his screen.
They made their bed... now they'll sleep in it... indefinitely, unless we chose to do something.
...
"If I may Captain the Nausicaans actions are highly illogical even for them. We did not could not have damaged their ship for them to, loose control and crash into the Ferengi vessel. I would think they would have an escape plan themselves or some way to self preserve." Sothrick took a deep inhale and continued.
"Unless they had orders to sacrifice themselves, which means we should get more information from the Ferengi. If you are wishing to... interrogate the Ferengi Captain I have extensive experience as well as certain skills that could be of use even with Ferengi." The large Vulcan gave plainly looking with his gray eyes back and forth from the Captain and First Officer.
Amila spoke up from the science station. "Their hull plating may offer protection on reentry. I wouldn't want to be in any exterior locations while they are going through the atmosphere, but I wouldn't rule out their ability to survive it. We've got another problem to consider. I've currently lost track of the mystery device. It's possible that it was destroyed with the explosion, or will be destroyed on reentry - but I don't think we should assume anything. We don't know what it's made of or if it had phased somehow missing the explosion all together. If the Nausicaans are tracking it, their shields could be down on purpose in preparation to beam it aboard."
"I know it probably sounds outlandish," she added second guessing herself. "I just think we should remain alert, and not assume they are helpless."
==Tag GM, did any science probes survive the explosions? And if so are they able to provide any insight. Can we confirm if the device was destroyed or not? And if the Nausicaans are "playing dead."==
