As a certain hidden alien starship was beginning to suffer from a severe case of gem cat infestation, the Phobos had already moved on from the immediate area.
Just as the DIVA crew members of the Hidden Smile had planned, the transphasic mines planted at a specific set of coordinates managed to strike true!
Each of them exploded as soon as their sensors detected even the tiniest hint of a warp bubble.
By the time the mines actually exploded, the alien fleet in transit failed to move away in time to escape the abrupt destabilization of the local fabric in space.
The violent spatial activity immediately threw just over 63 percent of the alien starships out of warp!
This caused the remaining alien starships in transit to manually drop out of warp a few seconds later.
The yurzens all became alarmed at what had happened. The relatively weak aliens had been promised that it was unlikely that they would suffer problems during their raiding runs.
