Ruuk's ability to swivel the turret seems to be better than usual as he swings around to face the strange alien craft once again. "Like who it belongs to!?" He calls out.

I'm happy to switch, but I did assume the turret would cover all areas. That said, if it's still behind us, can I get to the aft gun and use that this turn? (Or do all the attack rolls get done from the same computer; not sure if we're more Millennium Falcon or Enterprise here)
"Keep it up, Ruuk!" Obozaya calls. "They're almost done!"
blindly punching buttons for ship info:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29not sure if the +1 for aid counts
In near frustrations she punches the computer console while near hissing at it and threatening to tear it from it's console socket and throw it into space "oh... Ehm... Seems like we might have some data and information..."
After much frustration, Pilgrim finally gets the sensors to scan the ship, revealing a breadth of detail about it.
Basic Info: Medium transport(?), Speed 4, Maneuverability average (turn 2), Compliment 6. The frame does not resemble any known Pact Worlds starship model, but it is closest in size and shape to a transport class starship.
Current Defenses: AC 17, TL 17; Shields and Hull Points (FS/PS/SS/AS/HP): 14/0/10/10/69; PCU 130
Highest PCU Weapon: twin laser (forward arc, direct fire, long range, 5d8)
2nd Highest PCU Weapon: 1d2 ⇒ 1 vandal rocket (forward arc, tracking weapon, long range, speed 12, 4d8; if it damages the hull, the shrapnel animates into drones that continue rending the hull for 1d4 damage per successive gunnery phase unless removed by an engineer action or shaken off with a successful flyby, flip and burn, or barrel roll stunt)

After skimming over the note sent by Pilgrim, 701 is not slightly amused, in fact he is a little more cautious now.
"Captain, we may be a bit out of our depth here, our shields won't be able to keep up with the enemy's blasts!
Buzz, port-side shields are down, do not leave that side open to attacks.
Pilgrim, that vandal rocket reads like it packs a serious punch, but what did they hit us with?? They took down our port shields AND scratched the brand new Starfinder Society emblem, with only one... BOOOM!" The professional orator fails to find a word to describe the transport ship damage output.
After the barrage of words from the android, he begins getting the port shields up and running. Seeing as the Drake's trajectory will leave that side facing the unknown vessel.
Engineering (Divert to Shields) vs DC 16, +1 from computer if still available.:1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 1 = 16
If he is successful, port shields will go up to 87 (701 can't do math, apparently).
701 succeeds at repairing the damaged shields, but its effort does little good; with the Drake's port side still facing the enemy, whatever weapon is affixed to its turret(s) blasts through the shields again, this time hitting so hard that the port side engines start becoming unresponsive! Fortunately both your gunners hit home, and the enemy ship rocks from the force of the attacks!

"Great shots guys, keep at it! I'm not a religious 'droid, but this where they usually start praying, right? I'll try to keep the the systems running for you Buzz. Please remember, in layman terms, keep them away form our left side." And suddenly it makes sense, why an android, (since they are usually the quieter type, as they are not the most charismatic of the bunch) decided to be an orator, this one just won't shut his mouth closed. A couple of wires on his head must've been crossed to a halfingish setting.
Engineering (Hold Engines Together) vs DC 21:1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 = 26
Not trying to push anyone's buttons here, I'm just trying to push as many words as I can into the mouth of 701.
With all the information given and the weaponry available she starts to punch some buttons. "See if you can target the enemy core, I have, hopefully, a lock on it!"

The blast to their engine rocks Ruuk in his seat. His console screen flickers and shuts down as he loses sight of the enemy ship. "S&*&!" He slams his fist into the console. "I just lost power!"
Ruuk's attack misses, but the last missile lands a hit on the starboard side, breaking through their shields and damaging their hull. Their turret fires off harmlessly into space.

seeing the team struggeling she once more tries to calibrate the weapons on the enemies energy core. "try to hit the energy core! hopefully that will do the trick!"
The enemy ship banks around into your blind flank, avoiding Ruuk's coilgun fire and nullifying Obozaya's efforts to fire upon it, but its own gunners miss their mark thanks to Buzz's fancy flying.

Once more down the fray and hopefully assisting the gunners once more with the firing arcs and targets she pulls up some more details of the enemy energy core and assisting the gunners to score a better hit

"Come on, Pilgrim, we need more power!" Obozaya hollers as she hopes they'll have the aft tailgun in position. Not sure it will be after all the movement, but maybe?
The enemy barrels toward you in a cycle of evasive maneuvers. Their turret misses from the speed, but one of their vandal rockets detonates against your starboard side, blowing up your shield and lodging a small piece of shrapnel in your hull, which unfolds into a misshapen drone with six mechanical limbs that begin tearing at your outer shell! Fortunately Omen-Seeker's encouragement and Pilgrim's targeting proves effective, and Ruuk barely manages to land a hit with his coilgun; unfortunately, their shields absorb all of the damage!

"Captain Omen Seeker that clockwork crab is tearing at our hull, shields won't protect us from it... Pilgrim! Where's that brief you sent us?
HERE IT IS, I'll paraphrase,
The drone will eat away at the hull, until it's shaken off by the pilot or blown away by an engineer.
Since I don't feel our Drake moving, shields be damned, if that thing breaks through NONE OF YOU will survive the cold vacuum of space! And I don't feel like losing any more teammates to the stars, I'd rather redirect some power to the crab's sector, Besmara willing it will be blown to pieces!
It's your call Capt'n."
I'll leave my roll here, with both options, I don't know the DC to disengage the drone. And I'll use one bonus from the trinode computer. IF we go for shields, it'll be 7 to PS, because we don't know where the enemy ship will shoot at. Engineering, shields DC 16 OR crab DC XX, +1 trinode:1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 1 = 19
Pilgrim-Bot: Pilgrim tries to rebalance the shields to the starboard arc.

Drone Damage:1d4 ⇒ 4
The enemy ship remains stationary in the Drake's blind starboard arc. 701 tries to forcibly remove the drone using a mechanical surface arm, but it skitters around and avoids capture, tearing a strip along your flank. Furthermore, Ruuk misses his shot while the Drake gets pummeled by attacks from the enemy's turret coilguns and a point-blank twin laser beam, punching through the newly restored shields and causing large sparks to fly from your power core! Furthermore, three hollow tubes extend out toward your ship, their perimeters ringed with micrograpples and fast-acting foam!
Round 9
Drake FS/PS/SS/AS/HP: 20/0/0/4/32. Engines are glitching (-2 pilot actions), power core is malfunctioning (-4 engineer actions except hold it together and patch, -2 all other checks). All turret missiles fired. Vandal rocket drone active.

Pilot (turn in place)
The ship rounds its port side toward you, the tubes reaching closer!
PCs win initiative! You may take all your actions, ending with gunners. If the crew has preferred actions for Pilgrim, say so and I'll bot her while Psyblade is traveling.
If you succeed at an Engineering check (DC = 15 + 1–1/2 × your starship’s tier), you can select one system; that system is treated as if its critical damage condition were two steps less severe for the rest of the round (wrecked becomes glitching, and a malfunctioning or glitching system functions as if it had taken no critical damage). This check isn’t modified by penalties from critical damage to the power core.
Because Engineering is before anyone else, I think this will lift the penalties to the crew, right?
Suddenly, a yellow light emits from 701's forehead... "Sorry, that's my bright idea light, I had it installed for moments like this! Pilgrim, can you shoot? From our current position, we have two forward mounted weapons and one still active turret, that can be trained to the enemy vessel. Want to go full aggro Capt'n? I'd also suggest that if they can take the full blast of our Drake and survive, Buzz can follow up either with a flyby or a flip and burn, to leave our weapons locked to the target! Maybe we can blast them to the infinite...
Buzz whips the Drake around behind the attacking ship, but the sudden movement puts the Starfinder gunners off-kilter and throws their aim. The enemy turret, meanwhile, clobbers the Drake's front arc, barely cutting through the shields and scratching the hull alongside the active drone. Fortunately, Pilgrim's hand remains steadier and strikes the enemy's exposed aft, setting off another series of massive explosions from the ship's core!
Round 10
Drake FS/PS/SS/AS/HP: 0/0/0/4/30. Engines are glitching (-2 pilot actions), power core is malfunctioning (-4 engineer actions except hold it together and patch, -2 all other checks). All turret missiles fired. Vandal rocket drone active.
