The Sonic Rainboom's intercom speakers switch on with a faint beep.
/ATTENTION ALL DECKS: CONDITION 1. CREW TO BATTLESTATIONS, REPEAT ALL HANDS TO BATTLESTATIONS./
/ALERT CONDITION RED IS IN EFFECT./
/FIGHT FOR YOUR REPUBLIC./
"Alert condition red...this is very bad."

"To be honest I was curious to see what a ship of this magnitude was capable of."

/DAMAGE CONTROL CREWS REPORT TO DECK 78 SECTION ALPHA CORRIDOR 5./
/FIRE REPORTED IN HANGAR BAY 4./
"There are times when even the Rainboom must call in reinforcements."

"Should I ask QUALIA to move in our reinforcements?"

"You should instruct your ships to take shelter in the hangars of our vessels, it may seem cowardly but trust me when I say you are not ready to face this foe."
/THIS IS NOT A DRILL./
The Sonic Rainboom's entire frame shakes violently four times.

"Surely you're familiar with a popular Qaen saying by now. 'Intimidation is for those who believe they cannot handle what's before them.' QUALIA, please proceed."
\"Proceeding."\
"Even though the effects of our aid are miniscule, the UPR Qaenrough does not like being pushed around. In our territory, or in an ally's."
\"The United People's Republics will not bow to inferiority. Even for a single battle. Even if said inferiority proves superior."\

The Ambassador moves towards an elevator.
"We should get to the command bridge."

The captain follows, his eyes in a much more alert looking state now. It's possible the purple stripes on his suit have became darker.

The elevator flies up the hundreds of decks to the bridge, which itself encompasses six decks of the flagship.
"Welcome to the heart of the beast."
The bridge has massive blast windows across all six floors, giving an impressive view of both the firepower of the Rainboom and the battle abroad, the captain of the flagship stands on a platform on the fourth floor of the bridge, barking orders to the entire bridge.

He looks around the bridge, mostly at the crew members.
"What of them if they are affected by sleep deprivation?"

"This is not the entire bridge crew, each ship has crew to fill spots when others are sleeping, even the position of captain. In a situation such as this, at least the captain and first officer are called to the bridge."
Trails of plasma can be seen firing out from the sides of the Rainboom, impacting the alien vessels.

The captain walks off to one of the sides and looks between the crew members at their stations and looks out into the combat.
"Astonishing, your technology. Vastly different in a number of ways, but, astonishing."

In the middle of the bridge there is a multi-story holographic map of the planet, displaying the location of allied and hostile vessels.
"We may seem unstoppable, but I fear even we cannot best this foe."

"The cattle are resisting."
"Then exterminate them."
"Affirmative..."
Hundreds of massive, angular vessels appear out of nothingness and begin to bombard Furnaz.

"Surely you can call in help from other reaches of your empire. Maybe from an ally? In fact..."
He taps his helmet and walks toward the map.
"QUALIA, I asked you to bring in the ships."
\"The combat aid vessels I had notified you of will be joining shortly. I re prioritised them to aid in defense against a Frache raid."\
He curses the Frache Federation under his breath.
