She took a deep breath.
Then said directly to the first officer. "If we didn't loop in, each time, in this spot we would not be hit. We are in the path of the Federation Fire on the cloaked Breen ships. One of which is damaged. We are in the middle of the two."

How easy it would be to assume at this point that all they needed to do to right the situation was to move far enough out of the way for the fire intended for the Breen to find it's mark. Could the solution be that simple? It certainly seemed the most likely. She drew in a long breath.
"Helm, on the next loop, immediately move us out of the line of fire. Not far, only what is needed to clear us."

He had been sitting at his station to think of a way out of this temporal loop when no ideas had come to him. He then heard the Riov address him
"Helm, on the next loop, immediately move us out of the line of fire. Not far, only what is needed to clear us."
He turned to glance at the Riov, "Ie, Lhhei" He would acknowledge and then turn back to calculate the necessary distance it would take to bring the Dhivael safely out of the line of fire. Once completed, he would enter the coordinates into his console and wait for the next loop to occur

As they enter the next loop, there is barely enough time to move the ship clear.
No sooner is it done than they are hit by an even stronger blast, the Breen can be seen briefly still moving away, the hit was not one in that would have destroyed them and now Dhivael is in a worse situation than before.
A Federation ship in pursuit of the Breen is now seen bearing down on them.

He waited til the light was returning as the next loop started before he would initiate the new course, which only led to the ship getting hit by an even stronger weapon's blast
He cursed, then cursed again as the Navigational proximity alarms went off. As he steadied himself back in his seat and looked at the sensors, he saw the Federation vessel on a collision course
He turned to the Riov with slightly wide eyes "Lhhei, Federation vessel on collision course, Impact in 5 seconds!"
He had a hand over the controls, already tapping keys to avoid the collision, or at least avoid the worst of the collision as he looked at the Riov. It was the most he could do in such a short time span

There was no time to order evasives.
She hit the shipwide comm.
"All crew brace for collision, prepare for casualties!"

He hears the ship wide com "All crew brace for collision, prepare for casualties!"
"Brace for Impact!" he yells as his Fighter Pilots grab hold of Items and brace them selfs for impact
"We just got out of Sickbay H'dean" Jackson says H'dean nods

As the next loop occured, he saw the Gonai'saehne move the Dhivael out of the line of fire or so he thought. He only had succeeeded in getting the ship hit harder by a stronger energy source from either a Breen or a Federation ship, thus knocking him to the floor again
As he was rising back to his feet, he heard the Gonai's report to the Riov that a federation ship is on collision course and impact would be in 5 seconds
His eyes shot up to the main viewscreen then shot back over to the Riov as she ordered all hands to brace for impact. He scrambled to his feet, took a dive into his seat and held on

Renn watched his screen as the condition red sounded. He saw the lights on his console flashed as he scrambled to keep the cloak working. The impact rocked him nearly to the floor but he stood determineed to keep his focus.

There is a blinding flash of light as the saucer section of the Federation ship slices cleanly into Dhivael's battle bridge. Alarms sound as the hull is breached but before the ship's force fields can compensate, t'Takar, Zareth, Terrh and Veralen Sahen and T'meryl are sucked through into open space.

He is blinded as he heard the screeching and buckling of metal and the alarms start blaring. He knew the hull was breached but he could not see how badly
He was about to order for a report when he didn't hear the Riov call for one but then he felt himself being lifted and pulled out into the vaccuum of space.
As the breath is sucked from his body, his last thoughts were "By the Elements, relieved of command before I even attain it"
He then resigned to the oblivion of death, giving up his soul to the Element of Fire to be re-incarnated into the next life

A moment after the brace for collision was sounded she felt the impact of the Federation ship as it ripped into the Dhivael.
For a brief moment she was hit with the certainty and uncertainty of what was happening. In a flash, she understood what was happening as her body was lifted and pulled out.
Suddenly for the first time in her short existence everything in the universe was crystal clear. She knew it was, as it should be, for this time and place. She knew and felt a perfection that was never there, nor felt before.
Even this time loop was perfect, for this split moment in time and space. And she was exactly where she should be. There was no pain, no flash back of ones life, no judgment, just perfection. She understood so much as her eyes closed for the last time.
The last thing she felt was being engulfed in love and understanding. One that carried no judgments, no expections, no demands. A love that was simply that, love. So wonderous and perfect it could only be from the Elements, Gods/goddess, universal being. No matter what you called this or how you paid respects to it, it was. And it would be for all time.
She surrendered to the peace and calm.

Fear shown in his eyes as he turned to look back at the veiwscreen for the final seconds. He closed his eyes as the blinding flash occured, feeling the ship shake, then buckle and tear as the whole top of the battle bridge was torn away, exposing the blackness of space
He felt the vaccuum grip him and he started to lift out of his seat ~ Nooooo! ~ he screamed in his head and clung to the Gonai station like his life depended on it. Frankly, it did.
It was a battle lost for the vacuum was too strong and pulled him from his only salvation. He looked around and one of the final things he saw The Riov, Sub Commander, Veralen, and someone else he couldn't quite see get pulled out with him
~ I have failed the Empire. Element of Air, I beseech you, Have mercy.... ~
Unconsciousness gripped him before he could finish. Death was only moments away

He had yelled brace for impact when the impact was felt, he was tossed to deck as was the fighter pilots
They laid across the deck, as he was getting up he smacked his com "H'daen to Oria" He helped Jackson up
Jackson was holding her head as she placed a hand on H'dean to steady her shelf "What Happened?"
Hitting his Com again "H'dean to Oria" he looks at Jackson "Something hit us"

She watched in disbelief as the ship bore down on then. There was no time to react. Their shields deflected energy weapons and discharges but they did nothing against thousands of metric tons of pure ramming force.
The buckling, the grinding, the screaming of metal against metal and the mortal wound inflicted on them as the ship was torn open and the vacuum of space rushed in. She felt the air being sucked form her lungs as well. In the cold, she felt a sudden rush a warmth and looked down to see a gash had been torn open in her chest to match the one on the oira. Even now she had to smile at the irony of it.
It seemed then that she was lifted and carried weightlessly away. Her body already numb, she felt nothing and saw only the stars. She burned coldly too. Was she becoming a star? Her lungs were fire. In another moment that fire would engulf her.She surrendered to it and in that final moment, she stood again on the oira.
