<em>Suzu</em>nodded her head blushing just a little bit when she heard<em>Ari</em>call her her shield. It was something the heavy cruiser took pride in. She remianed slightly in front of<em>Ari</em>absorbing the shots that would have otherwise hit the massive battleship. However unlike<em>Ari</em>she herself was not above firing back. She was slowly drawing a bead getting ready with her own corrosive warheads in magazines. She would use conventional munitions to get the distance before launching her special ones.

She found herself able to adapt fairly easily to the battleship's command proticals. They weren't too terribly much different from her own so assuming them and adding her own processing power to<em>Ari</em>'s would free up<em>Ari</em>to concentrate fully on her offensive actions along with coordinating the attacks from the other ships to make sure<em>Abby</em>got to safety alright.

"Ya got it dar<em>Ari</em>. I'll make sure this cutey makes it otta this here little dust-up we found ourselves." she said as she turned suddenly to see<em>Zara</em>open up and reveal a rather nasty looking piece of hardware. She whistled as they came online "Well I'll be. That's some helluv six-shooters ya got there<em>Zara</em>." she said with a grin as she fired more shots while keeping the other ship's covered.
