Ember looked at the results. Most were what she expected. The deflector not receiving a lot of power was also expected. But then an idea formed that shouldn’t require a lot of power to begin with. Running another quick simulation she checked about reversing the polarity of the ship’s external hull even with minimum power to the deflector dish and systems a polarity shift should weaken or detach the tractor beam and locking mechanisms. Biting her lip she awaited the results.

Just as the results were coming around and suggested that there may be enough power to break loose, the ship lurched and the sound for something attaching to the hull sounded all around the ship. A quick scan showed that they were now soft docked with the alien ship decks 1-5 were now inside the alien ship.

OOC: sorry we moved on from the tractor a while back.. this kinda catches this up.

Muttering under her breath as things changed faster then the damaged systems could spit back results, Ember sighed faintly out of ear shot of the other cadets. “..Ok so we’re soft docked partly inside this mothership. Hmm…” She pondered something and then ran a check with the soft docking to see if any computer connections were being attempted or if not avenues for their own infiltration could be attempted. While computer hacking was not her normal area of expertise she knew enough to recognize some weaknesses if for no other reason then doing patches when they came up in engineering shifts.
