Nicely written and very enjoyable, and not meaning to nitpick but if the torpedos were that close and expected to destroy the ship and the boarding team didn't teleport/transport in/out not sure they could get out and clear from the vessel anyway?
Thanks for the feedback and taking the time to read the story, I really appreciate it! My intent was to convey how down-to-the-wire the mission was. It's very possible, likely even, they don't have enough time to escape anymore, at least not the way they intended.
