-Fleet-

The AIF fleet breaks off from fighting the retreating NRP warships, and damage assessments are made. Every ship in the first 2 battle clusters have suffered varying degrees of damage. The rest of the fleet has suffered less, but there is still damage. The worst damaged heavy capital ship is the Renown, which has a gaping hole passing down through the starboard half of the hull at a roughy 20° angle. (Shot came down from the top a bit) DHC-8s swarm across the outsides of ships, working to repair damage, while DHC-7s work inside to repair internal damage.

-Fighters-

Pilot: "Bogies inbound, looks like those fancy new German birds. I read seven of em."

Martok: "Good, I have heard much talk of this F-262. Now I shall see if it is true. Attack formation! Prepare for high speed pass!"

The 8 aircraft form up in pairs, and accelerate to Mach 8 towards the German fighters....

-Bridge of the Renown-

Del Rio: "Comms, get us a warp vector to the Arcadia Yards, we need some repairs fast."

Engineer: "Captain, I don't recommend going to warp. We don't know how badly that hole has messed up her structure, the stresses of warp could shear part of the ship clean off."

Comms officer: "Sir, High Command says Arcadia Yards are full already, they can't take us."

Del Rio: "What about Swordsmith?"

Comms: "Sir, from what I've heard, Swordsmith is mostly just craters in the ground. High Command is sending a VTOL with warp coordinates."

A ATDS Condor lands on top of the bridge, and an ONI agent climbs down through an air lock. He goes over to Del Rio, and tells him to go to his ready room.

ONI agent: "For repairs, you are to warp to these coordinates once we clear your crew."

The agent hands Del Rio a paper with warp coordinates on it.

Del Rio: "I'm no navigator, but these look like they're in the middle of nowhere. We also can't make these coordinates, our hull isn't rest for warp, and won't hold air for very long in space."

ONI agent: "You can lay over at Coronet Yards for temporary repairs. It'll also give us time to clear your crew. Now, I have more ships to assign. You will not give these coordinates to anyone, and will input these in to your navigation computer yourself. Understood?"

Del Rio: "Yes."

The two step out, and the agent climbs back in to his aircraft to be flown to other warships.

Del Rio: "Helm, set course for Coronet, ahead full impulse."

Helmsman: "Aye sir."

The Renown, along with other warships, move out to various shipyards. For emergency repairs. Many captains get similar mysterious meetings with ONI agents, all telling them to keep these coordinates secret...
