Banshee saw the satisfying pop of the port thruster on the Kouken catching alight following her barrage of energy, as the Scythe flew right through the cloud of oxygen and trace gases being hastily vented from the storage compartments to avoid a cascading explosion. Her CFS and Centrifuge came to full power, pulling up into a fast climb as she weaved an elogated figure eight pattern through the angry, retaliatory turret fire from the wounded, but still deadly Foxtrot 2, in an effort to make it spread its fire over a larger area and put more strain on the escort's power core.
As pulses of energy lanced past her mere nanoseconds apart and Shiori informed her that the shields were holding together well so far, the green-haired pilot heard the comms chatter from their leader. "Roger, Crux. Setting up for another attack run now," she responded, checking to see how much time before she could build up the neutrons to fire the spinal canon again.
There was a pause as she heard Miranda's idea on the matter. "Spirit, according to schematics I have to fire across the crew quarters to hit the internal bridge module. I can make no guarantees..." Sayoko seemed particularly cool on that last suggestion of sparing the lives of their foes, and the way she trailed off it didn't seem likely that she could be easily convinced to show mercy. Any method to remove the enemy's ability to harm them was the primary objective, and with these pirates it was even more critical.
The veteran dodged a laser burst just in the nick of time, as a few asteroids were summarily vaporized not far from where Jaeger was seen zooming into the battlespace. This prompted the Jiyuuian to send his way: "Aquila 10, I know we've gotten off to a bad start before, but we're going to have to work together. Whatever anger issues you may have with me as your wingman, I simply ask that you direct it to our foes."
Banshee took only a fraction of a second to squint at what just happened to the unlucky bogey in Spirit and Smokey's way. It was an extremely risky scissors manuever, but they seemed to get out of it relatively unscathed. "Aquila 6, Aquila 8, are you alright?"
Whatever concern she expressed in those moments of setup, began to fade away into the roar of her nose-mounted Laser Pulse Vulcans as they peppered Foxtrot 2 from a fast-closing arc, her craft easily able to outmaneuver the Kouken with its thruster hampered. Her ACE reported the main gun was nearly ready to fire again, as the weak spot aft came into view...
