*ACTION* To the rescue part 2

"What the hell is the Raven doing out there?" Jay asked as he saw the
lumbering craft heading into the battle. "I didn't give Dean any clearance
to fly!"
"Good question.." asked Dean "I don't even remember taking off!"
Jay wheeled around, Dean, was at the helm, and had been since Amber left to
lead the fight.
"Should I ask myself what I'm playing at, Jay?" and with that, Dean opened a
channel to the Raven.
"Apparently it's MK.9 and Efof..." Dean informed Jay "Seem's I've been on
the drive room the whole time..."
Jay shook his head and turned his attention back to the battle, the Dwarf's
fleet was clearly outnumbered, amd outgunned they were a mining ship, with
only defensive weapons against a full-on warship. They really didn't stand a
chance.
The Raven was doing pretty well launching goats at the alien ships, which
for the most part was a pretty effective way of distracting the pilots but
it wouldn't take long for them to realise it was a trick.
"Amber..." Jay ordered "We don't stand a chance of winning this one, just
keep them busy for me..."
"Got it..." came the reply, and Amber's squadron continued to battle.
Jay in the meantime, had shifted his attention to the stricken merchant
vessel that had radioed for help.
"Holly" he said "Clear everyone out of cargo bay 6 then opened the external
doors."
Holly cleared everyone out of the cargo bay, but opened the external doors
to every cargo bay along the starboard side, blowing somewhere around 150
people into space.
"Holly....."
"Yes Jay?"
"Cargo bay 6's doors...."
"Oh....whoops...boy is my face red,...."
"Not as red as those who's head's have just exploded.."
"Hee hee...funny..."
"HOLLY!!...I was going to ask you to do this bit...but as it seem's you're
not capable of performing a simple task without having a cull of the crew
patch the cargo bay's grappler controls through to me.."
"Done"
"Dean, prepare for a wormhole jump on my mark."
"Where to?"
"Anywhere, just make it far from here"
"Doctor Keto, prepare for wounded and get someone ready at Cargo Bay 6.
Amber, Mk.9, get ready to get out of here....."
Jay, dashed over to the weapons controls, where Holly had linked to the
grappler. Jay took the control stick in his hand and aimed the grappler at
the small ship, then fired.
The magnetic hook launched out of the cargo bay, and connected with metal of
the smaller ships hull, and began to wind it in, dragging the craft into the
cargo bay, where the artifical gravity pulled it to the ground where it was
dragged across the metal floor, sending sparks flying, and smashing into
cargo containers, including a large crate of goat porn addressed to
Mini-Phil.
"DEAN NOW!" Dean opened a wormhole, which, Amber, and Mk.9 led the Space
Eagle Squadron through, followed by the hulking mass of the Blue Dwarf.
A few of the enemy ships were able to slip through the closing wormhole
before it sealed itself, but these were easily picked off by Amber's
squadron, before they docked with the Dwarf.
"Doctor Keto" Jay asked a few minutes later into the comm "How's our guest."
"Fine" replied the Doctor "Just a few scrapes, but as much as it pains me to
actually invite you, I think you ought to join me in the medi-bay....."
"On my way"
"Oh..and bring Efof...."
