1 CUT TO the INT of the Flag Ship as the OOD reports little damage to the K'Lar...vessel. "It's repairing itself as quickly as we fire on it, Baron!"
2 Close in on Karza, turning his head slightly to reprimand the OOD (who suddenly looks like he just wet himself!). It wasn't his strategy to destroy the ship; don't question his tactics. Outside the viewports a Homeworld light cruiser is blowing up, swarmed by mini-squids.

Fireflyte says she'd expect nothing less, and tells Rann to concentrate on keeping the K'Lar warriors at bay while she...
