For the first time, Yuuyami hesitated upon hearing to return back to the hangar. Three of her team-mates were planetside, and the rest were scattered about with varying ranges of damage. All sensible reasoning screamed at her to retreat into the safety of the Lincoln. However, she didn't move. The memory of Tori's death flashed through her mind quickly, the sight that filled her with the first taste of actual dread and loss. Right now, she felt and echo of that feeling resound within her. "Emotions are useless in battle. They merely obstruct one from thinking clearly." But, despite repeating those lines inwardly, her hands didn't move an inch.

"...Captain." Probably, for the first time in the longest while, Yuu actually spoke through the intercoms deliberately. "The Sovereign's damage is minimal...use me." Pausing for a moment, she opened up the holoscreen with the condition of her MAS visualized, alongside several graphs. Excluding the purged shield, she still had the full use of her MAS. Mostly. The left arm was damaged, utilizing it to wield the other primary would not bode well. The kinetic would damage it further with the recoil, and the laser has no area of effect, therefore requiring proper aim, something which she believed that the arm wasn't capable of doing. That being said, having another gun out firing in the general direction of a target would cause for unpredictable patterns.

[i]The Sovereign is still capable of combat.[/i] Finally managing to contain herself, she quickly sent the text-based transmission to Alexis, while almost hoping to be told to sortie. However, that all depended on the response she would receive from higher up. She just hoped that this wouldn't come back to haunt her as a punishment of the sort. "Humans or machines, in the end we are all tools." Almost ridiculing herself, she waited for the response.
