Captain Malbry saw the puffs of smoke from the Avenger, he heard the screeching of the shell as it passed over the bow of the Shark, he heard the muffled boom, boom of the explosions and the spouts of water.
He turned to his first officer and said, "Holy Mother of Jesus, what was that?" His first officer was standing speechless, ashen faced and smelled like he had fouled himself. He yelled down to his signal man and said, "Ask Captain Bear if he was hit." He turned back and his first officer had left the bridge.
Captain Malbry looked through his scope and saw that Captain Bear was signaling that he wasn't damaged, but wanted to know what that was and that he was leaving, now!
Captain Malbry signaled back, Aye, let's head to safer waters.
Back aboard the Avenger, King Remek and Sir Calixto were doing high fives and bragging about their clean shots.
Captain JonPop signaled, congratulations to the Avenger and to prepare to come alongside and be boarded by the officers of the Far Search.
