As the Scouts moved around to regain their shots on the Cashew, Aerin had the raider turn back toward them, and, once the nose was about lined up, the Raider fired a positron blast at the damaged Scout, canceling (and blowing) a nice hole in its side, causing it to veer off course, obviously out of the battle. The other scout, however, continued to fire, pounding the Raider's relatively weak shielding down closer to its breaking point.
The utter pounding the Origin ships gave the patrol practically tore the ship to bits, creating a bit of a wreckage cloud off to one side. The major threats gone, Aerin decided it was time to skip out to the next line of interdiction.
"All captains, Course two, Set, We're going .5 AU towards galactic north, where the next line of interdiction is expected. Jump in five Seconds. Four. Three, Two, One."
The Raider disappeared from that region of space, reappearing as predicted a little less than half an AU away, to face down several more NMX Patrols, as well as several of the Escort destroyers. Another battleship could be seen at the center of the interdiction, and it was being heavily bombarded by fire from the 6th fleet, whom seemed split between holding a perimeter and trying to take out the ships within the protected area.
The Raider Answered by firing all its HLT's Ion cannons, and PDW's at the nearest of the patrols, trying to punch a hole in its shielding so it could fire a positron blast at the ship. Aerin was keeping watch of the positron capacitor, her five shots previous had brought the reserve down, and she hadn't been holding it long enough for another shot to charge itself up, meaning she only had 3 left, which she had to make count. She waited for her escorts to show up and help.
