Atama put is hands together, in anticipation.

"It's been a while since I've seen starship combat. When you have a single dominant political force with one army." He said.
 
"We're within weapons range." A Martian said.

"Drop the cloak and unleash the Neutralize Power Source. After that, fire at will." Future Xenest said.

"Complying." The Martian replied, doing as instructed.

The Neutralize Power Source isn't an actual damaging weapon per say as it doesn't do damage by itself. However, its true power lies within temporarily disabling engines and other power sources on anything it hits, which was shown as the targeted Planet Trade ship was hit by it, causing it to suddenly slow down to a halt, after which the Canister Launcher fired a single explosive projectile, striking at the engine section, scoring a direct hit as also the Planet Trade's ship shields were also down, followed by an onslaught of the 80 Krk X-Rays the Tenochi-01 wielded, resulting in a large section of the ship being destroyed and several enemy soldiers being sucked into open space. This was soon followed by a second projectile fired from the Tenochi-01, striking within the damaged ship, but not exactly exploding... instead it began to spread an ink-black vapor, which meant death to anyone who breathed it in. This was the Martians' Black Smoke, which was an ideal weapon to suffocate hidden enemy targets. Its frequent use during the initial Metar Crisis attested to that. Thankfully, the Martians have developed their own countermeasures as well as developing the Smoke in a way where it would leave neutrals allies alone, making it an ideal coverage for the Z-Fighters to spring their traps by sensing energy.
 
"It's always been a tactic of the Martians to take care of the things that could possibly form organized society in general; Anything that can be seen as a threat, like military force, or anything that can be used for potential counterattacks, like devices for communication or even transport, is a target if the objective is to paralyze communication, crush resistance and disorganize the society of whatever they're attacking. On other occasions, attacking resource or vehicle producing facilities like specific factories or shipyards are a target as well, if only to put on more pressure to the enemy." Future Brachi said.
 
"As much as I would've been useful in warfare, I never took part in it." Atama said. "Nice to see a new perspective on the whole matter however."
 
Maki's ship trailed close to the Tenochi-01, using the larger ship as cover since it had protection.
 
The tactic proved more than successful as the small strike group of the Planet Trade Organization was soon decimated by the Martians while at the same time allowing their comrades in their damaged ship to be towed away to safety by the Command Cruiser, whom were now having crew of the escorts beamed over to help with emergency repairs.

"This is the Tenochi-01, what is your status?" Future Xenest asked after hailing the damaged Martian ship.

"Our weapons and shields are off-line and have suffered a lot of damage on the hull. Warp-engines are off-line and the impulse engines are barely working. Life-support is functional, but we need emergency repairs if we are to at least make it home." The Martian Captain on the damaged ship responded.

"Affirmative. We have a strike group with us whom will aid you with the repairs as well as defending you from potential more assaults so you'll be hopefully able to reach home sooner. Comm, order the strike group to remain with the damaged vessel to ensure the repairs are completed. We're heading for the Stargate." Future Xenest said.

"Complying." The Martian said as the Tenochi-01 went to the direction of what appeared to be the location of the stargate, while the Escorts went to help the ship, keeping a close watch on the immediate surroundings and ensuring no enemy force was trying anything funny.
 
"At this point, my brother before his transformation would've produced a bottle of poison from his clothing, and drank a bit of it in waiting." Atama said foreboding. "There's never just a few."
 
"I see." Future Brachi said, as she and Future Xenest watched as they indeed located a distortion in space, which was no doubt a stargate.

Seeing it was still open and ready to be traversed, the Tenochi-01 entered the stargate.

"Detecting enemy presence further up ahead within the stargate." A Martian said.

"Drop the cloak, raise shields and arm all weapons." Future Xenest said, as the ship went on Red Alert.

"Message understood." The Martian replied.

"Tactical Officer, make sure you only strike when necessary, if potential hostile forces do attack us. Take evasive maneuvers whenever possible to avoid collission with any indestructible objects we may encounter. Remember that we're on a rescue mission, not on the warpath." Future Brachi said.

"Complying." The Martian assigned to the post responded.

"Our escorts report that they are keeping track of our position and will join us as soon as the rescued vessel can make it back to Martian space under its own power. Two Battle Cruisers are already on their way to form up on our flanks." A third Martian said.

"Right. We may need all the assistance we can get." Future Xenest said.
