"On it" Merel replied to her captain's order, she blasted off towards the other mobile suits not far behind Peter as he recovered the enemy Ace's cockpit. As they turned around to get back to the shuttle a high pitched series of bleeps, decreasing in pitch shot through her cockpit as what Merel immediately recognized to be the 'new radar contact' alarm. The cockpit sound system positioned the sound to reflect the origin of the new contact right above her and Peter. Merel immediately reacted to the desperate and furious outcry of the enemy pilot over her radio by throwing her suit into a rolling transformation getting her in MS form and angled to directly face the attacker. By now Aurea had also responded by taking some of the enemy’s fire, Merel as well shielded Peter’s trajectory, the enemy was apparently a long range fighter with massive cannons installed on the back which she thankfully had not yet used, likely in fear of blowing up her ally. Merel exploited this caution by charging her and quickly making sure she couldn’t take a shot at the rest of team Sigma who were far enough away from Peter to actually bombard. With the rotary cannon in her shield she fired a few bursts of suppressing fire before taking out her double beam saber from the shield. The blade ignited with a flash of green and just as she approached the enemy she was met with a flash of pink in response. The two suits clashed beam saber against beam saber, broke off and clashed again. Merel noticed that the suit was heavily armoured, but not as nimble as Samson’s suit had been. She broke off again and again and threw herself into a very fast back flip before blasting forward again, this time aiming for the unit’s legs with a sweep of her beam saber. Too fast for the HA pilot to counter her blade almost cut the suit in half, crippling its 0G maneuvering and destroying most of its thrust and balance. Now thrown into a spin without the thrusters to break out of it the artillery unit could not evade Merel’s follow up which cut up the unit’s backpack, destroying the unit’s massive cannons and thrusters. She was now dead in the water and Merel sent her a message on that same open channel.

“If you want to see your precious Samson again you will deactivate your reactor and surrender your machine. Any other response and I will destroy you.” For the moment there was no response from the crippled MS and Merel let it drift away from her, waiting for her sensors to pick up either her self destruct or her reactor powering down.
