The prisoners are escorted onto some of the shuttles. The commander stats for interrogation. The ship is now being scanned and analyzed by experts on the ships.
”Who are you?” asks one of the marines, ”and why did you attack us?”

The strike craft lost total control and started spinning violently towards the gravitation center. The crew would have panicked if they weren’t all dead. The strike craft were obliterated. The telepathic roar hit everyone on the ships like hammers. Some fell over, went unconscious or insane. The ship AI was now taking hand of more tasks.

”We’re about to make a short range tactical warp jump in this direction.”
”Please be aware and stand clear of the enemy fleets next redirection. Attempt to target them from long range.”

As the Bloodcult fire intensified losses were racking up. A Solaric’s reactor was hit and detonated as the ship became debris. Frigates were burning and falling like empty husks as escape pods launched. Some shields recovered after being recharged and temporality protected some ships. The GBE fleet was down to two thirds of its original size with plenty of ships damaged racking up to one half of its original strength.
As Stantine was waiting for the warp drives the charge he was ordered the firing of the only weapon he hadn’t yet fired. The signature armament of the battlecruisers massive cruise torpedoes. Half the crew on the bridge were being escorted out, some unconscious, some insane. Fire control made sure the torpedoes would follow a path were they flew away from the Bloodcult fleet and then turned around to accelerate at the Bloodcult fleet and hit the warpriest’s jaw just after the fleet jump. They’d hit one after the other. All the torpedoes launch out of their silos. They made an 180 degree turn and flew away from both the fleets.
”More power to the warp drives. Decrease power to weapons.” ordered Stantine.
”Roger abating firepower.”
”Focus fire on the medium sized beasts.”
”Directing firepower, sire.”
The main batteries and all the other missiles and guns started directing their wrath at the weaponry of the medium sized beasts.
”Advisor,” Stantine asked, ”how unwise would it be to send in the Redeemers if distancing with warp wouldn’t be possible?”
”Drawing out the full potential if their firepower is a bad idea, but I would serve as a distraction.”
”Yes, but with lives lost. They have lasers. We better stay at range.”
The torpedoes, after getting some distance, turned around and started accelerating toward the target, warpriest 2’s jaw and the eye of doom.
