At the reports of a flying ship aiding the Chinese, Myron would begin to speak, "The flying ship is a Noble Arm controlled by one Mei Yuanyuan, a member of the Disablers who awakened after a hunt by the Paragons of Science and the Seven Virtues. Most dangerously, she still believes in their ideology, that Noble Arms is a dangerous, unnatural power and those who hold them are 'monsters'. It's just that she's embraced that role, believes that the world is as good as dead now that Noble Arms are more common than ever, and is just enjoying life however she wants - Even if it means befriending other Arms Masters from the 'other side' - while waiting for the apocalypse."

He then continued, "Make no mistake, she is still very dangerous, especially when riled, and there is reason to believe that she is partnered with another Arms Master, Doctor Denial, who is called that because he denies that he has a Noble Arm despite carrying a syringe that can produce serums that regenerate, strengthen, cure poison and disease, and also act as neurotoxins. There is also reason to believe that they might have other Arms Masters with them, not just former Disablers but also members of the Hammer of Masters and their 'Malikate'; the Chinese had a bunch of them in prison but are now unleashing them on us..."

The moon was shining, and Noel thus had access to La Luna's Power of Enchantment, which stored temporary duplicates of every Noble Arm power he had seen used, all except those themed after the power of The Sun. Lifting his scythe, he went through his memories, and from the ground emerged a chess piece shaped like a Queen in royal robes and a tiara. 

One of Regil's 'Chess Pieces' that had proven to be a true asset in the Battle of Lingayen Gulf, The Queen was able to boost the power of all Arms Masters on the deck she sat on to a vague, but strong extent, as well as fire energy beams and shots at the enemy from long range. Of course, Noel can only use this once, but it seemed a good way to show that though 'incompetent' (he can guess others' thoughts about his admittedly dismal performance), he was by no means [i]ignorable[/i].

He was still pissed off at himself and at others for how poorly Myron's introduction had gone, but in hindsight, he had been spending people's respect for him like water anyway. Noel wanted to win back their goodwill or at least neutrality, but not in a way that would cause the group to fail current or future missions. And by that, he was going to be cautious about how he worked to regain the others' trust. 

As Nil found her Noble Arm's power boosted, the (imitation) Queen began providing additional fire support from the deck, firing laser beams from her eyes and her scepter and her left hand, firing lasers at the sky to shoot down enemy aircraft while luring enemy forces with an obvious target. Now to wait for the enemy to take the bait with jaws of steel, and still be lacking.

In the meantime, he sent a message to Callie, saying, "Once we've all organized, send us to the nearest PLA Corvette!"

That bullet [i]hurt[/i], but Sohrab and Dr. Denial managed to get themselves and the members of the Volunteers' Division below deck as that witch Qingshe launched [i]pepper bombs[/i] at her ship after bombarding its hull with regular artillery. Such power repulsed Mei Yuanyuan, enough for her to push on despite her head wound. Her Sloop-of-War kept firing magically-propelled cannon shots from both sides as it pushed forward, its frame shaking as it dipped in the air, reaching [i]ramming speed[/i] as it hurtled towards the ship Qingshe was guarding; that Snake was about to find herself drowned soon unless she pulled something out from that shadow of hers'!
