"Bridge, fore castle, no effect."

"Incoming from port!"

Natalia pulled the starboard yoke and felt the Archer list and pull away from the fire. It was hard for her to see through the ship. Maybe if she had cameras? Ideas for later.

"charcoal, port side!" came the automated warning signal over the Archer's wire.

"Bridge, fire station, already on it."

She had to trust that everyone was doing their job, now. "Engine, bridge, starboard full!"

"Starboard full aye!"

"Castles, bridge, present starboard and find solution! All hands, coming about!"

Regardless of whether she was heard, she reversed the yokes. The Archer answered, readily-- perhaps too readily, a sickening lurch in her stomach as the list changed direction and she felt pressed hard into the floor, tacking quickly into the wind and presenting a side that was no longer scorched or hot to Maleficent.

"Bridge, aft castle, torpedoes have solution!"

Natalia looked to see Renne casting a high-power magic and hummed, calculating not just what Maleficent would do, but also everyone else. "Adjust upwards and wide of that cast and fire for effect."

There was a sudden THUMP behind her that almost felt like it might shake the ship, but the gunner merely said, "Torpedoes away. Loading."

"All guns, find solution and fire at will."
