I keep coming back here very so often, as if it would make my wanting to return any better. I don't know why that would be. I would just disappear again and regret it again, I'm sure.

Interest Check is interesting.
@Ariamis Ah, alright. I imagine Caliburn's main thrusters are on either side of the spine, about where the shoulder blades taper off. So that's basically shooting her in the back to clip her wings. I'll edit that post, then.

...and there. After this, her thrusters will outright detonate if she tries using them again.
@Ariamis I guess I'm not exactly sure what your referring to when you're talking about 'a joint between the Caliburn's chassis and the thruster systems.' Compared to the human body, would this be a point on the lower spine or something? I'll gladly edit my post to be more specific if I know this.
Let me know if my post is alright. I rewrote it from a first draft because I seemed to be god-modding a bit, so I hope this looks better.

Also, let it be known Lora is going to fight to her very last.
Roxy and Diver closed in on the trapped pair of Frames, and Lora was now certain she was in big trouble. Her missile storm was enough to blast Macabre's meager armor apart, but it did little to actually cripple the Frame, and she had no time to wait for the launchers to reload. In the meanwhile, Diver was able to easily collect all sorts of integral data of Caliburn she could use to her advantage-

No, wait, what was Koehler doing? Flicking a channel switch, Lora heard the mumblings and outbursts of a raving man. What had happened to Roxy's pilot? Had he hit his head silly, or just smuggled in some illicit substances and suffering the consequences? Lora wasn't given the time contemplate that, as she was all too quickly assaulted by a barrage of lasers from behind, rocking the Frame and sending jolts up the control harness.

The voices returned, for but a moment. Incomprehensible as ever, but she thought she could recognize something...

Desperate to gain some control back into her hands, Lora growled out with a determined sneer and gunned Caliburn's thrusters. Blowing off several drones behind her, the knightly Framewerk struggled against the pool of goo at her feet. A haphazard slash from Visceral hacked apart the plating on her right arm, igniting another grunt of pain and reducing the arm's functions to basic movements, at best.

As Macabre tried to boost away, though, Caliburn attempted pursuit by boosting forward in a full-power shoulder charge. If she could at least run into Macabre to knock it off-balance, she could follow with a last-resort Lightstriker slash to try and take Ryan down with her.

And then Elora, behind her all this time, took the shot. Off the original mark ever so slightly, but not by enough to matter. One, and then several more cannon-grade bullets mashed into the broad side of Caliburn's back, pelting at the main thrusters. The glue finally degraded and gave way, and with a violent sputter, the normally controlled burners erupted in rocketing flames - an explosive force that threw Caliburn forward somewhat, but offered far less actual acceleration otherwise.

Battered and crumbling, but not done yet, Lora held the throttle open, committing to her previous plan. Any attempt to use the thrusters after this would prove disastrous, but that wasn't her concern. She would fight to her very last as she was meant to.
Basically 'Wave Motion Guns and lasers with impossible physics' vs. 'extra-dimensional alien hivemind'. And don't worry, the ship and its fighters are fairly weak without one another; I'll ease into all their full power over time.
Alright, alright, I'll throw something together, hold your horses.

EDIT: And there. Should be fine for now, I'll add more as we go along. Otherwise, I believe I'm ready.
...Okay.
I'm just painfully deliberating over my ship's crew. It's obvious I'm going to have to make the whole lot up, but creating several characters at once (even if they are brief) is dang hard, especially when they're supposed to mesh together to some degree.
