A blast of smoke suddenly erupted under Rilus's feet, and Elora screamed at the static she now got in her visual interface. She recognized it was some kind of weapon-jammer, and even her Combat Analyzer was taking pains to continue the data collecting process. Not only that, but the enemy turned out to have two swords after all: Elora was now starting to regret her charge a little bit by the time she hit the other Frame, who seemed to block the tackle. 

After she transmitted the data she got from the contact, she realized Sigma was now fighting her own battles, which meant she was going to be alone for this battle against an enemy built for pure destruction. Elora didn't like her odds, and her earlier courage was starting to wane, instead filling up with fear. Even if Elora pushed herself and managed to get the scanner working long enough to get the data on the enemy, it would be useless since her weapon wouldn't be working, and even then she would be toting a cumbersome rifle in the face of a dual-wielding swordsman. She got a message from Sigma saying she should run.

In a state of tranquility, she made her decision, and opened a channel for the opponent to hear: "I'm sorry, I quit." Then, she activated her anti-grav thrusters and retreated from the smoke and the opponent inside, and using her jet booster headed straight in the opposite direction of all the explosions and ground tremors she spotted. The enemy could try to pursue her, but she trusted that the cover provided by the smoke trap would aid in her escape. As she was flying she heard one of the Framewerks blasting music across the ruins; at least someone was having fun, she thought to herself.

She continued flying in the direction of AGAS, and landed somewhere nearby in the field of pillars. She did notice the other Frame nearby, but at this point she just wanted a break from all the violence, and if the other Framewerk wanted a fight it wouldn't get one. She wrote a message to Sigma: "I left you behind. Please forgive me." Tears started to form up in her eyes at the realization of what she has done due to her cowardly nature. She thought she heard something, and after a moment of silently listening she thought she heard someone's voice. It was really quiet, barely reaching her earlobes, but it was there. Elora started to feel a bit better for some reason, but she was still sad at her weakness.
