Oh I think we might have a bomb that big...

Big bomb go big boom! yay!!!

“A device of that calibre honourable Shas’O would require us to enter the ship and plant the device in the engine area or in a weak point in the ship’s hull. We have very little information on the crafts abilities and a viable strike force will be needed. After the recovery team were deployed we refused to send any more troops into the ship. We have their data recordings though and we can use these to study.”
Argsoh
The Techmarine shakes his head
“This area is to damaged I can’t simply reactivate them Argosh we lack the energy and resources. I could how….”
The Daemon jumps up and grabs the Techmarines arm, he screams and tries to push the Daemon away but has his left hand removed.

Hey Blood, I just want to ask if I have been promoted or anything since I have entered the ship, as I am not sure whether you're last post was me talking to the Shas'O or what

You're a Shas'O now :]

YAY!

WAHOO!

That means I should really change my name to Shas'O T'au Kais

IC:

"Good, let me look at them, and then, we can decide the plan, and find out who will be in the team apart from I."

(Uhm, I seem to have lost track, where are Mikal and Marius, arent we together aboard an Imperial ship or what?)

i run to the deamon and smash him with the hammer. apothecary help him.

You and Marius are in a hanger in the Tau ship.
The Daemon simply dodges Argosh’s attack and leaps towards him in a bloody fury.

As am I, but I am with other Tau finishing the plans for what we will do

Y'all keep forgetting about me.

You're with Mikal and Marius in the hanger.

And in the same ship as me, in which I am now in command!

Cool. Shas being in control of a ship is a little scary...

Godforbbid be decides to ramm the Super Carrier

Oy! I'll have you thrown off the ship!

No, no, no, I have the bomb-hyperspace plan

I'll give Toxicslayer a Thunderhawk then , he can try my ramm the giant invunrble attack craft.

im on too, hell need me and ma bruddas' help *nodding*

Ok enougth of this! The bomb idea won't work I have said that.
"Sir the bomb cannot be made , we lack the resources and the ship appers to be impervious to any attacks. It is possible the bomb will have no effect. You would have to deliver the bomb inside the ship as well and the last strike team was killed in minutes by Daemons."

i drop my hammer and catch him tackelling him to the ground and give him a headlock. (angry marines style)

The Daemon hisses and grabs Argosh with its jaws and thrases around in a unholy fury.

"You don't undesratnd, I- we can do this, a small enough force can go unnoticed, and we take the bomb to the lower parts of the ship where it is lightly guarded and plant it, I am in command here and that is the best, let alone, only, option we have. We have got to do it!"

Mikal overhears the argument and decides to interpose.

"Perhaps a compromise is in order, When we were in the Titan, my team aimed for the control room and were able to take control of the Titan temporarily and at least stop it. Perhaps if this team was launched against the bridge of the ship we would be able to do more damage without them having the chance to kill us this time."

"That would be too roskiy, thier bridge would no doubtedly have way more defense, however the lower parts of the hull will have light defense. We have more chance to survive if we go there, plant the bomb, then set off the hyperdrive."

(The bomb cannot be made. Thats a bit of a problem for the plan.)

We do not need a cool high tech bomb, we just need a goddamn bomb!

The Farseer steps forward and points towards the Super Carriers bridge and then zooms in the map she then turns towards general Kes and the other Imperials
"What is are smallest Ship? If we ramm near the bridge we can enter near the engines or control room we may be able to destroy the craft without a large scale firefight however we will need to be quick and a bomb will need to be consturcted."

Would a boarding torpedo work?

"I do not believe it would be large enougth to break through the hull"
(Remember the ship is 54 kilometers long and is very well armoured.)

<sigh> "We should have enough explosives, at least which are required. Just get everything prepared now. The more time we waste is more time the enemy have to destroy us."
