North sat in the Captain's Chair. He had a plan. A stupid plan, but a plan nonetheless.

"Vermont, press the gray button."

The Son uncloaked.

"Fire all Archer Missiles!"

Vermont fired them, and they connected in one spot, creating a Second Son-sized hole in the huge frigate, which turned and fired missiles at them.

"Arizona, Shields!"

"Shields up."

The enemy missiles connected, rocking the Son.

"North, Slipspace drive is down!", Arizona yelled.

"Well, there goes plan A. Here gowes Plan B. Vermont, fire the Advanced Spartan Lasers."

Vermont searched for the right button, then aimed at the enemy Bridge. "They're ready."

Theta appeared. "North, they're readying more missiles!"

Rho appeared. "If they all connect, we could have a hull breach."

Sigma appeared. "Our best bet would be to flee."

North thought for a minute. "Vermont, let them charge until the enemy is about to fire."

There was a distinct humming growing louder by the second.

"Fire!"

The bridge crew saw many large blue lasers shooting at the enemy bridge, decimating it.

"You were saying something, Sigma?", North asked.

Sigma blinked. "That was an interesting weapon. I had not anticipated it's amout of damage."

Wash looked at his AI. "So, we won."

"Yep."

"What now?"

"Mac and Cheese?"

"Mac and Cheese."
