You need to embrace the whole experience. Your RL STDs? You've just been to a planet where you encountered a very demanding warrior queen. Can you get medical to sort it out before it wipes out your crew or your extracurriculars? Can you get Comms to alter the ship records? All the while acting normal at your station?
If it were simulation hard SF torchships or slower craft, that would be exactly it - you (hopefully) calmly observe you options and plan for a mostly automated very hectic encounter with the enemy ship screeching towards you at hundreds if not thousands of relative km/s, with the laws of physics making sure you will meet at this point. The waves of autonomous missiles you sent an hour ago might do something, but most likely your ship mounted weapons will have to do most of the work at a couple thousand km. No fancy jump drive to get you out of this - you have to fight your way out and make the other party into a cloud of expanding plasma!
