Will Richard Save the Day on his Day Off? You Decide!

You carry on towards one of the carriers. Several escorts are ready to meet you. They fire a barrage of missiles at you, which you evade with some difficulty. However, the craft that had originally come out after you fired a particularly well placed hit with its plasma cannons. It happens so fast, you don't even feel yourself being vapourized. With you out of the way, the remaining troop carriers and escorts are now free to continue on to the station.
