From my position outside the saucer section, I was able to see everything.
The saucer section, with all its families, was suddenly cut adrift.
All at once the saucer section needed a real command and not just engineers.
"Target the saucer section of both vessels and open fire!"
Nor was it on the loss of the saucer section itself.
We need to know what's really happening with the saucer section.
"You are to destroy this saucer section immediately, with all hands on board!"
Set course to last known position of the saucer section.
Yes, the Enterprise was large, but they had started out fairly deep in the saucer section.
They were led to the edge of their ship's saucer section.
