She had a Navy issued phaser tucked into the waistband of her trousers, and hidden in the small of her back was a newly constructed kliden. Órlaith was sure ...

Órlaith reluctantly nodded, "Yes Ma'am. Of course."

"I'm not a child!" Órlaith snarled the emotions of the moment bubbling over. She immediately regretted the outburst, but she was tired of everyone treating her... well like a child. She wasn't, and she supposed she never had been. She used the ijulna to enhance her strength, and picked up Bellatrix....

Moments later the Vendicator exploded into a ball of flame along with several other Ajem'dasis ships. The Alliance fleet now had the upper hand.

Órlaith nodded and quickly entered the commands into the console. "I'm not getting any response from command. There's nothing wrong with the comms. It's as if they just aren't there.
