"What's going on?! Why is the Engine Department screaming?!" Rear Admiral Kallic was tense beyond measure. Hearing the noise over the comms, he turned and barked angrily.
The adjutant went to find out what was happening, then returned with a terrified expression. "General! Something's wrong! The Engine Department reports that the reactor's power generation efficiency is being continuously disrupted. Our energy supply efficiency has now dropped by 20%!"
"What did you say? How is that possible?!" Rear Admiral Kallic's face changed dramatically. "Why would our warship's reactor output decrease?"
[We don't know! That's the current situation! Our power generation efficiency is continuing to fall!] The Engine Department manager's frantic voice came through the comms.
"What caused it? Those missiles, or those beams?" Rear Admiral Kallic demanded.
[It is likely the beams fired by those large warships!] The Engine Department manager prattled on through the comms. [Wait... I found it! I'm detecting strange quantum resonance around our warship! Damn it... Quickly check the state of the hypermatter stored in the reactors!... The hypermatter is decaying? The metastable equilibrium of the hypermatter particles has been disrupted? How is that possible?!]
Rear Admiral Kallic immediately cut him off and shouted, "Speak plainly! I only want to know when the energy supply will recover?!"
[As long as their rays can no longer hit us, it will recover!] said the Engine Department manager.
"I'm giving you ten minutes! If the energy supply isn't restored in ten minutes, I'll send you to a court-martial!" Kallic roared, then cut off the communication without another word.
He spun around and rushed to the main console. "Pull away! Now! Don't let those strange warships attack us!"
"That's impossible, General." The operator looked like he was about to cry. "With the reduced energy supply, we still have to maintain the
