Inertial dampers scream in protests and Gunnz brings the Pegasus around in a very tight circle, aiming to get in behind the smuggler. As the engines start the max out, she grins, snaps open a hatch under the pilots console and carefully removes two fuses marked Safetly cut outs
"We won't be needing these bad boys for the next few minutes."
With careless disregard for the speed she is running at, Gunnz cranks up the [ulr=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S24-y0Ij3Y]volume[/url] as she pulls in behind the other ship.
"All yours boys."
Wanting to stay on the ships tail, she does her best to not let it get away on her.

Automated Defenses: Once per starship combat, a science officer can reduce the speed of a single tracking weapon fired at your starship by 50% for 1 round. Declare the use of this ability when the enemy weapon is fired but before its gunnery check is attempted. A science officer can spend a Resolve Point to activate this boon again in any subsequent round or encounter.
Defender of the fleet (engines): You can increase the speed of your thrusters by one step. Already applied above.
Abundant Ammunition: Select one starship weapon with the limited fire special property on the group's starship. The selected weapon increases the value of the limited fire value by half (rounded down). For example, a limited fire 5 weapon would become limited fire 7. Applied to turret.
Weapons of a Lost Civilization: When you slot this boon, select one light weapon onboard your starship and replace that weapon with a tactical nuclear missile launcher The modifications are somewhat jury-rigged, and as a result, all gunnery checks using this weapon take a –1 penalty. Anytime you fire this weapon during the course of a scenario, check a box for the corresponding weapon. Once all boxes for a weapon are checked, you can no longer gain the benefits of this starship weapon (though you can still benefit from the first part of this boon).

"Ann Captain Barkeep? Think maybe you could convince em to... ya know... surrender? Before we gotta nuke em again?"
Zargothrax pushes a little more power into the weapons systems.
Srurdez is making a mess of engineering, ripping off panels and rerouting power. He gets Gunnz even more speed!
The rest of you are convinced that Gunnz is trying to see if she can shake the rest of you out of the ship. The way she is jinking, you doubt most gunners will be able to follow.

The acceleration couch takes a real hammering as the Pegaus approaches speeds that are in theory impossible for the craft to reach.
"This is almost as good as dancing on stage at an SMC concert!" she screams into the intercom. "Whatever you are doing, keep doing it!"
Of course, she does have time to cut to the next combat track
"Want to ask them if they mind accepting an inspection now. They have to see this is too one sided."

"Wow... Thanks for... the asists... team!" Orrian forces out through gritted teeth as the acceleration pushes his form back into the couch. "Honestly haven't ever... gone this fast..."
Forcing himself to focus, Orrian pulls up his targeting display again and attempts to lock onto the target once more.

"Alright, hold onto your hats folk.." calls out the excited Gunnz who, distracted by changing to yet another combat track looks to have somehow forgotten that the enemy ship is straight ahead!
The audacious stunt doesn't seem to have quite been pulled off as the enemy ship unleashes its weapons on the Pegasus.
"Darn, I was sure that I was going to be able to return the Pegasus with no scratches this time."
You are all kept current of real time events as First Seeker Elsebo sends a message. ”Agents sent to a corporate retreat managed to influence high-ranking members of AbadarCorp. These agents survived some unorthodox workshop activities and persuaded an executive to oppose Datch’s vote. The cooperation of these AbadarCorp staff members may be enough to tip the scales in favour of Iseki- Okaibo.”
They say space is big, but Gunnz shows that sometimes it isn't quite big enough. She gets a little too close to the other freighter and isn't able to avoid giving them an opening to shoot.
One advantage of the close approach, Zargothrax is able to finish the scan.

"He has rumbled onto my tactics. Oh well, lets see what I can do about that." mutters Gunnz as she repeats her chicken-run of moments before.
As she nips past the other ship, Gunnz puts the Pegasus through a tight roll, avoiding the smuggers gun arcs but opening up all its own weapons!
Cupboard doors bang open, and in the galley it looks like someone didn't put away the AbdarFlakes, as the float all over the place making a real mess.
"Let's finish this!"
Srurdez has problems figuring out exactly what the Lizard Wizard did to engineering.
Meanwhile the Lizard Wizard has no problems finding where the enemy engines got hit last time and providing accurate targeting information to the gunners.
This time Gunnz has no problems shooting past the enemy vessel while avoiding their lines of fire.
Orrian is able to take advantage of the opportunity and fires the starboard torpedo at their aft doing 11 damage. He then follows that up with a direct hit to the same aft section with the nuke doing 26 damage.
Thom just barely misses with his shot.
Once again you are in the aft arc and they have no weapons with which to fire.
Starship Combat Round 5
Medium explorer
Speed
AC 14; TL 16
HP 65; DT —; CT 13
Shields medium 100 (forward 25, port 25, starboard 25, aft 25)
Attack (Forward) twin laser (5d8)
Attack (Port) laser net (2d6)
Attack (Starboard) light plasma torpedo launcher (3d8)
Attack (Turret)
Power Core Pulse Blue (200 PCU); Drift Engine Signal Basic; Systems advanced medium-range sensors, crew quarters (good), mk 3 duonode computer, mk 4 armor, mk 6 defenses; Expansion Bays cargo hold, escape pods, science lab, tech workshop
Modifiers +3 to any two checks per round, +4 Computers, +1 Piloting; Complement 4–7
Automated Defenses: Once per starship combat, a science officer can reduce the speed of a single tracking weapon fired at your starship by 50% for 1 round. Declare the use of this ability when the enemy weapon is fired but before its gunnery check is attempted. A science officer can spend a Resolve Point to activate this boon again in any subsequent round or encounter.
Defender of the fleet (engines): You can increase the speed of your thrusters by one step. Already applied above.
Abundant Ammunition: Select one starship weapon with the limited fire special property on the group's starship. The selected weapon increases the value of the limited fire value by half (rounded down). For example, a limited fire 5 weapon would become limited fire 7. Applied to turret.
Weapons of a Lost Civilization: When you slot this boon, select one light weapon onboard your starship and replace that weapon with a tactical nuclear missile launcher The modifications are somewhat jury-rigged, and as a result, all gunnery checks using this weapon take a –1 penalty. Anytime you fire this weapon during the course of a scenario, check a box for the corresponding weapon. Once all boxes for a weapon are checked, you can no longer gain the benefits of this starship weapon (though you can still benefit from the first part of this boon).

Orrian hits twice on the aft, doing 11 and 26 damage.
Thom misses.
You get a transmission from the other vessel. You can see the captain saying something but there is no audio. Just as the captain is finishing, you finally get audio. "...only way you can even hit."
Probably would have been a lot better if Captain Lulari had checked their microphone before starting the transmission.

"No flyby this time, they have backed off. Going to hit the Afterburners. Didn't realise the Pegasus had them but... a friend of mine did a mod before we left.."
With a new high pitch shriek, the Pegasus engines send throbs of pain throughout the poor ship. Pushed to speeds that the theoretical physicists at Absalom station, let alone the Pegasus designers never expected, Gunnz can't even reach the music to change tracks as the ship heads off in pursuit of the smuggler.
