Jaein was unsurprised when his latest round of checks showed no issues with the Artemis' systems. He was, however, surprised when the freighter ran for it's life. Typically Klingons would at least bluster first before employing the better part of valor.
"No damage," he called as the disruptors impacted nigh-impotently on the shields. Though he couldn't be sure until he'd performed a more detailed scan, he wouldn't be surprised to see old and underpowered weapons on it. Freighters as a rule didn't have good weapons, even Klingon freighters, and if they weren't with the Defense Force - which seemed likely, given where they were and that they just fired on the Artemis - they wouldn't have kept up to date.
"And transfer control of the tractor beam either to Commander Omdor or Captain Givens," Captain Crawford ordered. "We might need it." He waited a moment, but the tactical team seemed preoccupied and so he called up the controls on his console. Shortly after, he saw a message from Givens, asking if he had a recommendation for the boarding party.
For a moment, he considered sending himself - after all, if he wasn't willing to lead from the front would they be willing to follow? - but he considered and nodded. She wasn't asking him to prepare, she was asking him to recommend someone. Obviously, she considered the Artemis the appropriate place for him during this, and he couldn't argue with that assessment. As such he hit his commbadge. "Omdor to Han, please report to the transporter room. Bring your kit and a weapon."
