Battle"Lord Cap'n, the boarding teams are raring to go! The Heartless's Geller field generator is cooked, so no warp-diving for them now, and we've set off fireworks in their primary drive, too. That rustbucket isn't going anywhere. We can begin the assault on the ship right away, but experience tells me this will go a lot smoother if we deliver just a couple more precise strikes. How about we flatten a few heretics between the bulkheads to make the fighting easier for you, Lord Cap'n?"
Battle"Your Lordship/Ladyship, I must remind you that the Heartless has been promised to you as spoils — every new blow to the ship would also be a blow to the dynasty's treasury."
YOU"Let's not put any more holes in our trophy than necessary. Master Helmsman, here are your orders: send a torpedo just below the upper deck and detonate in proximity to the target. A blast wave like that won't penetrate the hull, but it will paralyse the elevator systems and block the pirates' approach from the lower decks."
Battle"Blast my gut, Lord Cap'n, I thought I knew every trick in the book! Well, there's no shame in bowing to your experience in the void. Launch torpedo!" A precisely calculated explosion shakes the side of the Heartless — your plan has been executed flawlessly.

YOU"Fire on the section just beneath the entry point. We will collapse the elevator shafts between the compartments and leave the enemy without reinforcements."
Battle"Yes, Lord Cap'n!" Your macro-cannons fire several salvos, blasting through the hull. Fires rage in the gaping wound, and currents of pressured air burst forth into the void.

YOU"We need to clear out the boarding zone. Ravor, shake up their upper deck."
Battle"Easily done, Lord Cap'n." Your dorsal weapons leave a visible dent in the hull — anyone who was near the point of impact has likely been splattered.

Battle"Ready and waiting. I will see you on the upper deck of the Heartless, Rogue Trader."

Battle"An excellent shot, Lord Captain, but what about the repairs, the costs? Perhaps you would be willing to take satisfaction in what you have already achieved?"

BattleA stifled wheeze comes out of the vox. "I beg your pardon, Your Lordship/Ladyship, but I fear I must go to my study, take something for my heart, and start putting together the repair budget. It... may take considerable time."
