Zim could feel Black Star's pain, just as much as Black Star could feel Zim's pain. It was more obvious now than it had ever been before to Zim. As soon as Zim pulled off the difficult maneuver, despite the extra external forces on the frame and the pilot Zim looked over the sensor readouts for damage to the systems. All well within active combat parameters. "I'm sorry, Partner," Zim said out loud, he didn't mean the damage to the armor, but the werk no doubt knew that. 

He had gotten a communique from from Command about his next target, "Understood," was all Zim replied to the order. "Come on, let's put an end to this," he said to Black Star as he looked over the map to plot his route. The target they wanted him to go after was clear across the map, as far from Black Star as possible, but he could do it, maybe. Just as Zim was about to punch the controls a Rogue Unit entered the fray and quickly dispatched the intended target.

Zim had his orders, despite what this new-comer said. "Engaging the turtle in quadrant I3, Krieg disengage the area. Command, going black," Was all Zim said in the moments before he activated the Active Jammers, his RFID blinked off of the collective HUDs of his team mates and those observing up in orbit waging a different kind of combat. As soon as his digital signal disappeared Zim pushed the thrusters hard as he approached J4. As soon as he was within range of the wave surger Zim flipped the active jammer from cloak to decoy, making 3 signatures appear on screen. Zim released the charge from the tidal battery and kept the blast focused on the turtle, ignoring the CWM nearby, depending on the armor wings and the decoy signals to keep him safe - trusting his partner to keep him safe. Zim made small circles with black stars hand to spread the beam slightly in order to make sure the entire turtle was being enveloped in the blast and ensuring that if the repairing tentacles tried to peak out between rounds that they would be caught in the next round. Zim continued to approach the turtles location until he arrived at it's smoldering, heat-wave radiating remains.
