OOC: ehh, I don't think more ships should/will join in at this point.

While fighting the Emperor, the Von Der Tann class fired an improperly targeted missile. Having not designated the A380 overhead as friendly, the aggressive fire control computer sends the missile towards the civilian aircraft. Aboard the untamable, this is quickly noticed:

Radar officer: "Sir, the Germans have launched a missile at that plane!"

Radford: "Countermeasures, quick!"

The Untamable launches one of her VLS missiles towards the German missile, intercepting it perilously close to the civilian airliner. One of the outboard engines ingests shrapnel from the missile, forcing the pilots to shut down said engine.

Radar officer: "Missile intercepted, the aircraft is still flying."

Radford: "Good, try to contact them and find our their status, then have them divert away from the area."

Radio officer: (repeating over civilian frequencies) "Civilian Air Carolina flight, this is the battlecruiser Untamable, what is your status?"

Radar officer: "Captain, that ship has gone down. The Germams have stopped firing."

Radford: "There will likely be survivors. Maintain course, we should at least try to rescue them."

Commander Harwell: "Sir, what about those Germans?"

Radford: "If they start firing, they'll learn what this ship can do."

The battlecruiser continues on a course towards the sinking Emperor....
