An old friend's revenge

[Tenseiken]

The Xaror dropped out of cruise.

[color=#33FF33]*engine powercore at 91.994% efficiency*
*weapon powercore at 23.997% efficiency*

The liner was under attack by the pirate group. The main damage was done by missles.
The drone's weapon powercore lacked about 75% of it's efficiency after scrambling the enemy's scanners. Powering the whole weaponary of the Xaror would be impossible.

*possible solutions: 451*

Loosing either the cassis of the drone or the liner would be a cruicial loss.

*possible solutions: 285*

Any damage done to the crew of the Equinox would permanently slow the operations of the Cambridge Stellar Research.

*possible solutions: 74*

The allied gunboat should not be abandoned if possible.

*possible solutions: 5*
*executing solution with the lowest failure level*

After 1/4 of a second the drone powered the Stem Gun class 3 and aimed.
The shot pierced one of the missiles right before it hit the slave liner.
The targetting system locked on every single missle and calculated the time it would take to reach either the allied gunboat or the slave liner.

*set "priority Gunboat missle" = 75*
*set "priority Fighter missle" = 65*
*if "Fighter missle" = "Equinox location"+150 set "priority Fighter missle" > "priority Gunboat missle"*


One projectile after the other was destroyed and only some reached the GB, as the drone prioritised the safety of the liner.
