Editing Battle of Beta Seranis III (section)

==(USS Hades - Phlegathon Bridge - ASEC Ensign Baylon Trinin  - 1855)==
 
Baylon snapped back to the present when Lieutenant Keswick spoke to him.
 
"Great shooting Mr. Trinin. What is the status of our weapons and shields?"
 
Baylon pulled up the requested information with a twist tap of his fingers on the TIHS console.
 
"Portside phasers are operating at 22% maximum capacity, We've depleted all but 50 of our quantum torpedo stores, and all other phasers are working at 100% capacity."
 
He tapped out a few more commands.
 
"Forward shields have been restored to 23%, port and starboard shields are at 62% and 49% respectively, Aft shields are at 86%. Only aft and starboard shields are regenerating, although at a decreased rate. Overall, sir we gave worse than we got."
 
"Good. See what you can do to increase the phaser power and transfer power from the secondary EPS systems to shields." Travis ordered.
 
"Aye sir."
 
Baylon started looking for spare power to shunt to the port side phaser arrays. There weren't very many options. He started rerouting power, coordinating as needed with the Operations officer.
 
As he worked, he went into automatic. He wondered if the Acheron was alright, or more specifically if Ranae was safe. He was a little ashamed to admit to himself, that he didn't care for the safety of the rest of the Acheron crew as much as he did for Ranae's.
 
Baylon turned off the pain receptors in his brain, a trick he had learned from a Vulcan classmate at the Institute after he had mentioned that he suffered from terrible migraines. He used the skill habitually. It was something that he had refined through his four years of combat, injury and recover on Andoria. Usually without the benefit of anesthesia or pain killers.
 
The fragment in his back had struck the floating rib and he could feel it scraping as he moved. With his discipline in place, however, it was little more than an oddity of kinesthetics. It wasn't a bad injury, he'd had far worse. Once they were past the crisis, he'd get medical attention, not before.
