Escape Part 133

Fisher and the bridge crew were now in the combat bridge and their suits. It was a section in the middle of the ship. It was like the offices and other installations a good covered area which was much better protected against hull breaches and weapons impact. On the bridge of the tower it would be enough to penetrate the glass. Certainly they had an armor plate which could cover the glass, but it was nothing compared to the multilayer plating that was now between them and the vacuum of the space. Still it was unknown with what the capital ship would shoot. Fisher hoped to find an option not to try it out. He was now discussing how they would engage the enemy fighters with less as possible losses.

Meanwhile opened Samuel the door again. They had now the full control back. At least that was what Kelsey verified.

"Are we down to the laser again?" Ryan wanted to know.

"Probably, I can send an opening command there. But I fear they can overwrite it and then plug in the cable if they hadn't done it already," Samuel replied.

"Then check this and get the laser in position, I guess we have further two doors to go at least." Ryan went into the control room, he wanted to get something done. Who knows how long they had to wait, Ryan thought.

"The door does not respond. They have already cut the connection. So we will drill now," Samuel confirmed.

"They are still in the hall behind. Wait. Drone signal lost," Ryan switched to the drone before the door, then he saw the connection lost icon on his display. "Seems they are jamming, again. I check the outside."

Ryan went out of the control room for the fortified position where SW-1 and 4 were.

"Status?" Ryan asked.

"Position secured, but we lost communication," came the reply from a nearby sniper.

"Watch the door, something might happen." Ryan was a bit worried. With Newman and SW-3 up there it was not much protection. Sure for the next hour they should be safe but something was odd. He went to Caine which was at the control room door.

"Caine go up and check the situation up there. They should retreat into the cave for safety and Newman should triangulate the jammer," Ryan ordered.

"I'm on my way," Caine jumped on the nearby bike and went out of the hall.
