Eli watched Mad-E get into position, and Swarm swoop up high into the air, but her feet were stayed. The distant siege tanks were brought up in her HUD, and though they did not look to be in the best of shape collectively, they were still armed to the tooth and ready to blow anything that got close to shreds. 

Her allies struck first: Swarm unleashing his hail of missiles, and Mad-E her cluster of explosives. They hit well for the most part, but in the ensuing exchange she saw both of them receive a fair potion of damage as well. Swarm was high enough to avoid a brunt attack, but Mad-E looked to have been stuck high on the body, and Eli felt a lump form in her throat. 

She quickly opened their comms channel. [color=00aeef]"Madison, Joe, damage report."[/color] 

[color=9e0b0f]So soon.[/color] [color=00aeef]They aren't dead.[/color] [color=9e0b0f][b]You[/b] couldn't survive a hit like that.[/color] [color=00aeef]Our NCs are different, they're fine.[/color]

To her side, the radio clicked to life again. [color=662d91]"Lizzy? Is everything alright? ...Who got hurt?"[/color]

[color=00aeef]"No one got hurt, Vi, everything's fine,"[/color] she said, gripping the controls. [color=00aeef]"I need a quick moment, alright?"[/color]

[color=662d91]"Sure..."[/color] Vera said quietly. [color=662d91]"Be safe okay?"[/color]

[color=00aeef]"Yes ma'am."[/color]

There was no longer time to waste, at this range Eli was sure that they couldn't outlast the veritable fortresses forever. She brought up Blur's single-unit targeting system and scanned over the two tanks. The information she got was simple at best, no blueprints, no integrity readings, not even the caliber of their ammunition. It did however show her that the aft turret of the less-optimal tanks was more or less out of the picture. With a passing mental confirmation, the system focused upon tank #1. Still she was given very little information regarding the enemy itself, but her mind was flooded with lists of options for approach.

Blur's engines flared to life, and she rocketed to the side in a wide arc around the battlefield. She'd have to approach from the damaged side in hopes that she could close the distance before they re-positioned --if they even could. When the angle was good, Blur shot off in a storm of dirt and dust towards the tank. She did not reach for her energy blade, damned if that would do her much good against such heavy armor, nor did she go for the shotgun. Instead, Blur prepared a demolition charge, keeping it ready for priming. Against an NC, prolonging close-range combat was ideal, but she didn't know what the tanks might have up their sleeves, so the quicker she could get in and get out, the better.
