//There are a good number of people on both the Phoenix and the Raven that could have changed this outcome. Engineering could have cut power, Weapons could have cut power, Helm could have turned the firing arcs away with enough warning, and the XO could have put a stop to the order. Meanwhile on the Raven, I could have acted faster, and perhaps there’s something that Xavier and our XO might have seen to tip them off that this was going on.
Greybeard actually put it pretty well that we’re so used to obeying orders, that we should learn when not to obey.
