[Shocked By this new development,you manage to ignopre Bzsrgpt's first frantic expressions of excitement, until he actually yells to get your robot body's attention. You look up, and see him bradishing a handheld monitor and pointing excitedly at the readout.] Are you sure they don't mean us harm? Yeah, but how are we supposed to escape once they do that? Well, I'll take your word for it. [At this point you are troubled by the realization that Bzsrgpt was wrong, and that the gigantic warship coming rapidly towards you has begun to fire jets of plasma at your ship.] [You scramble to activate the defense systems, communing with the ship's central computers to figure out what to do. It turns out that the myriad of defense algorithms and apparati on the ship are layed out with such debilitating complexity as to make it almost impossible to decipher them in time to save the ship. You quickly decide to go with the simplest autopilot defence algorithm you can find,which utilizes a strategem something along the lines of,"sheilds on full power, fire all weapons, escape."] It wasn't hard. I just chose the only one I could understand. [By now the algorithm has gone to work and is pelting the enemy warship with plasma while activating your powerful electromagnetic lepton sheilds. Your ship's armor no longer must bear the brunt of the enemy plasma attack, and you are giving as good as you take, and the ship is veering around your opponent and towards their escape conduit. A gigantic explosion of plasma rips into your shields, but is just barely unable to penetrate. Your shields will break down soon, but you are getting much closer to the escape conduit. Suddenly a voice blares over your ship's P.A. system.] What is it, Bzsrgpt? [Bzsrgpt is inturrupted by a gigantic explosion, a garbled attempt at communication over the damaged P.A. system, and a wooshing sound as your ship reaches and enters the escape conduit, deactivating it in the process. your ship shudders and just barely manages to stay in one piece as the normal laws of physics rush back into application around you. Your severely damaged ship reels, but does not break apart.]
