Kovan, who had been abnormally quiet throughout this whole process spoke up from his station, “Just knock off some of the rocks clinging to it. We don’t need the whole thing, just the prize in the middle of all that rock. A couple blasts from phasers on low-energy or a modified tractor beam will break it down to a more manageable size.” His voice was steady and calm, but held a flat quality to it. His gaze never strayed from the view screen. The initial excitement of their accidental find shifting into something more akin to dread as they came closer to their target.

“Tractor beam engaged, sir.” Jorik said, quickly activating the beam and slowly dragging the ship closer to the shuttlebay.

Jorik turned around in his seat to look at Roman. “If we want this thing in the shuttlebay as-is, I need to go down there to maneuver it in, I don’t have the right angles here.”

Roman nodded to ensign Thoran. “Go and maneuver it in. I don’t want to blow the whole thing up trying to knock a bit off.” He looked at Kovan, “All we need is the middle, but we aren’t sure how strong it is. A low energy shot could still damage it more than we want.”

“Aye sir!” Jorik said, pressing the button to call in another navigator as he exited the bridge to head down to the shuttlebay.
