I like it. I was definitely riveted reading it and picturing the characters and ships as I did. Though, of course, only those of us who have read it will know the significance of the Battle of Witch Head reference.
BTW: attack pattern Epsilon 9, eh? Nice, though you kind of wonder about how effective that one, considering the fact that Epsilon 9 was destroyed with one shot from the enemy. (Granted, the enemy was V'ger, but that's not important.
)
