Meanwhile, on the other side, within the Star Fortress Korvas, its commander watched the fire zone their weapons had carved out. As he observed the devastation, he thought to himself, I hope this is enough to inflict a fair amount of damage and destruction on their frontline ships—enough chaos in their lines to buy us the time we need for our weapons to cool down. That should be happening any moment now… sigh
Korvus refocused his gaze ahead. Soon enough, he began to notice the firing rate of their weapons declining. At first the drop was minimal, lasting only a few seconds, but with each passing moment the decline grew sharper and more apparent. And, as if to confirm what he was seeing, multiple voices rang out across the command deck, reporting the situation.
"Commander," Tauric's voice came first, "our weapons are heating beyond safe levels. The cooling mechanisms are failing to keep up, and as a result we're losing both power and firing capability."
