Meena quietly confirmed Kelly's orders, planting the frame where it was and taking aim at one of the enemy frames. She was focusing on its head, the take out the main cameras and hopefully confuse the enemy. Her Hyper Rifle's shot rang out, screaming towards the limit of its effective range, hopefully making an accurate hit.

The small girl's feathers swooped forward ahead of the other frames, and, when within range, suddenly flew up and out from behind cover, nearly up to the ceiling of the sector, and began massing fire on the extremities of the frame Meena had targeted.

Async's feathers harried the captured frames from all sides with potshots aimed to keep them in cover, feeding targeting data to the Kirin and giving the rest of the squadron a bird's-eye view of the combat zone. The 'spacer aimed upwards with the frame's gauss cannon, tweaking the launcher's output on the fly to land net rounds on the enemy's heads. Partially concealed by a small building the Kirin launched two shells one after the other, making a small adjustment in the frame's stance for the second shot to space the targets apart.

"Nice move, Lucien." Taela congratulated, taking aim with the Graser. This thing would, hopefully, be better than the last gun. Granted, they weren't going up against Mishhuvurthyar but the objective was to incapacitate them as fast as possible and, failing that, at least do enough damage to them to save the station. With this plan in mind, the Neko covered Yoshiko's other flank as she made the Rifle go into "Magnum" mode, took aim, and fired at the nearest hostile.

"Hrrrm." It started. Even though Yoshiko was at the front, she wasn't the one to take the opening shot; it irked her plenty. The Ex-Neko quickly pulled up the targeting information from the others' feathers to her heads up display and highlighted the partially obscured enemy frame. Yoshiko's sights locked on to the lower legs in hopes of toppling it over so she could move in for the kill. The Graser Rifle in her Frame's hands hammered away, blasting through the buildings in hope of hitting the opponent's legs behind it.

As the muzzle flashes on the display illuminated her face, she licked her lips in anticipation.

As Lucien rushed forward to turn an enemy Asura into his own personal human shield, Kelly was closing in from the otherside, firing a spread of HE missiles overhead. The soda-can sized missiles turned downwards, raining down on the other stolen mecha, small explosion shaking them up and keeping them from pinned down. The beams of high-energy radiation from Lucien's Graser rifle struck the shields of a Kirin, quickly burning through them and vaporizing craters of material out of the outer armor.

Meena's round dropped a bit lower than she had wanted, the high velocity round smashing through the throat area of the Kirin and and exploding from sheer impact force, sending its entire head flying into the distance. Kelly's cousin's hail of pulse laser fire, in conjunction with Async's and Kelly's missiles, kept the enemy's heads down enough so that they didn't see the duo of nets dropping on their heads, constricting up two of the enemy Asura.

Yoshiko's graser lacked the power to penetrate through buildings, the only thing it harmed was the building. Taela, on the other hand, had much more success, a blinding flash of energy erupting forth from her rifle, lancing through the lower torso of two Oban's, causing the civilian mecha to lose stability and crash to the ground.

Async smirked as two of the frames fell squirming under her net rounds, her feathers picking out three more groups huddled together in the industrial block, one feather made a wide pass around the complex, catching Yoshiko trying to fire through a building.

"Tachibani-sempai, these buildings are too dense to be overpenetrated, we're supposed to be avoiding collateral damage" she scolded mildly, as her silhouette calculated two more trajectories and fired the rounds with a hypersonic crack.

"NOICE!" Lucien commented upon seeing Kelly rain down destruction, before using his chainsword to cut his 'human shield' to size, cutting inwards, and upwards, tearing the inner workings of the opposing frame apart, and its pilot into viscera. Needless to say, the frame wouldn't be a problem, but in the process, the Chain-Straight had to be re-chained.

Lucien took the next few moment to boost down towards a building, and reload his chain-straight, sheathing it, and then using both hands for his Graser rifle for increase accuracy.

Keeping low in the city skyline, and taking care not to make too much damage in transit, Lucien would occasionally pop out of cover to make called shots into the legs of whatever was standing. Otherwise, he'd make a shot at the downed Oban Frames, to make sure they were dead.

Yoshiko's almost cheerful expression of anticipation went sour as soon as she saw her rounds fall well short of penetrating the building. Her lips curled into a snarl when (a)synch pointed this out, further rubbing into her face the failure of incapacitating the enemy and her carelessness with the environment. She raged. "WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING A GUN THE SIZE OF AN 18-WHEELER WHEN IT CAN'T PENETRATE SHIT?!" Yoshiko screeched.

In a moment of absolute, irrational fury, her Asura's thrusters activated, briefly boosting herself over the city skyline of Dawn Station, only to rocket straight back down at high speed. As she rapidly descended on top of her enemy, her Grazer rifle continued to fire at it's head and shoulders from her higher angle.

She tried to Goomba Stomp the Oban.

"Yoshiko, control your anger!" the Neko barked, moving up to the building opposite Lucien to hide around the corner from enemy fire. "Or else you'll do-"

And at that moment, her friend decided to fly up into the 'sky' for some god-awful reason.

"-something reckless." Taela finished, facepalming with the mecha's free hand. She was still around the corner as she did so. Once the menial action was finished, she shifted past her cover to fire any shots she could (still magnum) at the opposition.

"Quit killing Employees!" The unknown little girl squeaked, apparently displeased at the very rough tactics the test team was using. "Parasite-infected people can be saved, and are not responsible for their actions when possessed!" she continued, sounding incensed.

Meena gulped, nodding to the girl in the seat behind her, whom had begun takking at her consoles after chiding the pilots. The young frame pilot knew she couldn't miss this time, as she aimed for another Frame's head, this time adjusting just a little bit higher, so she could take the head off cleanly.

the frame's feathers continued their surgical barrages, firing more at weapons and components than at the actual bodies of their enemies, whom seemed to be overwhelmed by the much more talented Frame team.

******

Unfortunately, the firefight had attracted several more of the stolen frames, and the number of enemies in the area began to grow.
