[Edward Engel]

 I would be interested in boarding the Klingon ship.  It will be good training for the Rite of Ascension

(USS Hades -- Deck 1 -- Bridge -- Vice Admiral Saleke -- 1402)

The Klingon ship rocked violently under the punishment being administered by the Hades. The initial volley of quantum torpedoes had knocked out the primary weapon system resulting in a toothless ship. As Saleke watched impassively from the command chair a phaser blast impacted with its port nacelle. There was an explosion and it disappeared in a violent cloud of energized plasma. There was no attempted communication for surrender. Saleke opened his mouth in preparation for initiating such a demand when its sublight thrusters flared to life and it began building speed toward Illuminar.
"Admiral I'm reading an uncontrolled buildup of power in the enemy engine room." 
He turned his eyes to his science officer who returned his look soberly. "They're building a warp core breach and they are headed toward Illuminar."
~They plan on ramming.~ "Tactical!" The word was snapped as he spun. "Quantum torpedoes. Fire!"
"Hail the Illiminar. Tell them to get out of there."
Torpedoes burst from the tubes and were quickly upon the K'tinga class. Illuminar hung in space seemingly oblivious to the danger. Saleke stood to his feet. Would the torpedoes disable it before it impacted the ship? The viewscreen had altered to take in the unfolding tableau. Then three things happened almost at once. The torpedoes reached their target microseconds before the warp core erupted. Even the Hades at a distance shuddered from the shock waves that were generated.
But when the explosions started the Illuminar was no longer there. It seemed to vanish in the instant prior to the arrival of the Klingon ship.
Saleke returned to his seat satisfied "Begin targeting the other enemy vessels and hail the Illuminar."
"Sir, the Illuminar is gone."
He quirked an eyebrow at the helm officer. "Mr. Randall. Location of the Illuminar please."
"The officer turned his attention to the sensors. "I ... I'm picking up their transponder signal 200,000 kilometers from their original position. How?"
The Admiral didn't bother to answer. "Target the marauder ships one at a time. Communications signal the ships to surrender or be destroyed."
"Aye sir. Enemy ships this is the USS Hades. Surrender or be destroyed. I repeat, surrender or be destroyed."
"Now hail the Illuminar."
"Channel open."
"Illuminar this is Admiral Saleke. We will assist you with clearing out the pirates here then return to the edge of the system. What is your status?"
