(OOC: Fascinating outcome.)

The explosion, trapped within the Velucian ship, doesn't destroy the Alliance frigate. However, it begins to sink. The engineering spaces are quickly abandoned as they fill with water. The Capitaine leads his crewmen to the last remaining lifeboat, launching it with his crew aboard. As the lifeboat drift from the doomed warship, the Capitaine feels sadness, for the ship that was his charge is sinking beneath the waves. He is, however, justifiably proud of trading his relatively small frigate for a far more powerful destroyer. His pride extends to his crew, as they fought well.
