That voice snapped Calthorn out of his fury, if only for a short time. His comm channels to Maddox's ship still open. Shoving past the sheer pain, Calthorn shot forward with his own swords to try to intercept the enemy MS, aiming to impale it on both. "WHY WON'T YOU JUST SHUT UP AND DIE YOURSELF! GET OUT OF MY FUCKING HEAD!" Calthorn shouted out, his anger returning in full force.

Sure enough, Mark picked up on Izumi's thrusters. "Boss man, I just picked up on thruster emissions. Faint ones. Could be the Saviour. I'm going in to investigate." Mark said, firing up the ZAKU's thrusters as he shot towards the location of the ruined saviour.

------------------------------------

"Confirmed. Bring it back swiftly, Mark. Leave the MS behind if it would take too long to salvage." Cronic said, going back to trying to communicate with Izumi.

"Just hold on a little while longer; You might not be able to reach that light, but that light may just be coming towards you instead." Cronic thought, his voice filled with resolve.

"I've spent a lot of time and effort ensuring that no-one we urgently need dies on my watch. Damned if I'm going to let that change now." Cronic said to himself.

Zerenis, meanwhile was continuing his artillery assault on the enemy's carrier ships. Firing every shot he had to try and destroy as many ships as he could, before discarding the Bazooka, and taking out the rail gun. Rather than resume firing on the ships now, he turned to aim at the winged mobile suit, charging up a shot. 

"This rail gun may not have as much kick to it as the Bazooka did, but it ought to help keep this bastard on his toes!" Zerenis said, opening a comm channel to Lucia.

"Lucia, Rail Bazooka's empty. I'm lining up my rail gun's cross-hairs on the enemy MS now. I need you to give me a shot."
