As the cannon fired, something seemed to go wrong with the Freespacer controlling the communications. Her arms seemed to tense around Sammy, fingers digging into his fuzzy wasp hair, before her whole body shook for a second or two as if she was having a seizure. And then she was just... Limp. Lifeless. Arms weighing down on Sammy from gravity rather than affection. Eyes open and seeing nothing.
Arccos just looked dead.
What had actually happened was that the remotely operated cheap cybernetic drone unit she'd been using as a virtual presence device was cut off for a second by the interference from the firing of the weapon. She just didn't bother reconnecting, instead returning her attentions to her real body somewhere in deep space. It took her a moment to reconnect in some way to the Queen's Slave, just to get a view of the system. Another moment to bounce a signal to about the only person she could rely upon to actively listen to her.

Jason.
Fleet's on the way, but we're a way's out. Same time, they said they want to observe our movements and capabilities. I don't want them having any more information on my stuff than needed. Hold back, circle around behind whatever that thing is. It's big and following through on the Misshu's revenge attacks from when it fired missiles towards Ee'ee, and gun that big would have to be built into the entire superstructure of the thing. It won't come about to shoot at one or two small craft like yours.
Do what you like, but were I in your situation I wouldn't lift a finger to help that ship. Let them soften up the enemy.
