"GODDAMNIT! THEY ARE FALLING BACK!"

Commander Bruce, the Aneph commander in charge of the Yellowstone ''task force, is furious. The last time the superbattleships were deployed against the Federation supership fleet, the Feds had retreated before the ships could arrive, and it looked like the same would happen again. However, old Bruce hadn't been nicknamed "Chargun Bull Bruce" for letting enemies slip away, and damned if he was going to let the Fed superships flee without first getting a few licks in.''

Bruce: "Go to flank speed and run those sons of b---hes down! Stagger turret fire so that they are kept under a steady stream of shells, and hold off on the remaining MCMs until I give the signal. These pricks got away once, and they will only get away again over my dead body!"

The three Yellowstone-class superbattleships shift firing patterns from heavy salvos to a continuous stream and simultaneously accelerate to flank speed, their flared bows carving a path through the ocean waves towards the retreating Federation supervessels ahead.
