shylarahChecking in...I'm also thinking about Mai getting shot up as a desperate attempt for the Rose to get into melee range.

Mai continued to wait. She knew the Anzu was still nearby, ready with it's rifle. More than likely, waiting for her to pop the other half of her mech's head out of cover to get a fix on him as well as another opportunity to shoot her.
She also knew the combat field had now narrowed dramatically. As far as she knew, there were only four of them left. Mai couldn't be sure since her sensors were damaged. Still...that pain...of being shot...was nothing new for her.
Then, she received a transmission.
"Mai, I'm going try to see if I can spot the Anzu from the top of Zone G. Be ready to react accordingly."
And just like that, she was suddenly looped in with temporary allies. Mai didn't like it but since she had a feeling the higher up's wanted her to "play nice" with team members...she decided to put up with it.
"...inefficient. You'll be shot in an instant and I'm "Seven", not Mai", Mai droned on the line.
That's when she looked towards Zone G and spotted the Archer framework at the top. Then, she heard it's pilot call in the coordinates for the Anzu before it also started launching it's attack.
Seeing this, Mai deactivated the T-link system, the green glow from the Setsuka's hands going out. She did managed to maintain her Syncho Rate despite the damage but she was now over relying on it. Time to switch weapons.
Now drawing her two Magnum pistols from the Setsuka's hip sides, she broke cover and looked in the direction that Archer's pilot had spotted the Anzu. Pointing her two weapons as best she could due to half the Setsuka's head being blown off, she waited for the Archer's attack to cease before she took her shot.
At that moment, Mai knew the risks since that the Anzu was most likely focused on her but with the Archer now calling "spot" locations with visuals and it's recon drones, Anzu had two targets to worry about. And with the Archer's attack, she hoped that it'll at least give her the time she needed to line up her shots since she was, as stated, damaged goods...

@DarkRecon
Your post implies that the shot missed, and there is no mention of sensors damaged. So yes, I AM TELLING you to edit your post, in case it wasn't obvious.
My bad. Post edited. Sorry for that hassle.
@DarkRecon, the shot connected, and damaged the sensors.
EDIT: I'll wait until the situation is clear before I make Cassowarysaur's post.
Wait...so do you want me to edit the post stating that the Setsuka's head looks more damaged or something? Sorry but it seemed like you were telling me to edit something there.
Mai was scanning around. For one, she did spot the Rose and Archer frameworks in Zone B...and perhaps it was just hyper awareness, her training or even dumb luck...when she turned to scan around Zone E...and she just saw the Anzu-
That's when half of the Satsuka's head was blown off. Mai had tried to at least move but all she managed to do was prevent the shot from hitting the head dead center. Mai herself felt pain but ignored it. For better or worse, her other framework division trained her for that kind of pain tolerance. Sensor damage was rather obvious now but she wasn't completely blind.
"...this is Seven...engaging target...", Mai droned on the open comm link and immedately thrusted off of the tower in Zone G and continued into Zone E.
As she entered, she saw the Anzu and did two things. She fired a green-ish energy blast from the palms of the Setsuka's hands. Two shots...one from the left hand and one from the right. Not caring if the shots hit, she then took cover, kneeling the Setsuka behind a broken pillar.

K. I'll just say that she simply got to the top and now is surverying for an opponent.
Mai was hiding amonst the pillars in Zone B but it seemed she was ignored yet again. But this also proved that they weren't all just a bunch or rookies just thrown into their respected frameworks.
They did have inefficient "quirks" but...she also knew why they were chosen for this. They all, in their own ways, have things that Mai lacked. Things that she was trained to think were useless in a battle.
Emotion. Drive. Synenergy.
Mai was simply taught to obey orders, never question anything, always train...always...always...
Once again, Mai shook her head before returning her attention to the battles raging around her. Still hidden, she decided that no one was going to accept her challenge despite her better judgement on making such an inefficient statement. But now she was wondering something else.
...are...they...are they "rubbing off" on me?...Am...am I acutally STARTING to be influenced by these...people?...NO NO NO! INEFFICIENT!
Unfortunately for Mai, this is where she started to act reckless. Breaking cover from Zone B, she then moved to Zone G. There she stopped, jumped and thrusted upwards to the top of the tower. She would then started scanning the surrounding area's for the frameworks currently in combat.
Her T system still active, her hands glowed as she began anaylzing the combat situations around her.
* * * * * * * * * *
"...odd...what's Mai doing?", a scientist on Mai's maintience team said as they watched from the docking bay feeds.
"I've never seen her get this aggressive before", another says.
"Then again, I never thought Mai would actually "talk" to the other pilots on an open comm link", an engineer states.
"...huh...I wonder...with that spike in the syncho rate before, I wonder if that...opened some doors for her...", the "senior" member then adds.

-_______-' *sweatdrop*....I've been bad....I'll post now...but why do I feel like I'm going to be lynched from this...
@DarkRecon
No. Just because I mentioned her a bit more in my post in than the others doesn't make her a main character by any measure of the word, so you don't need to worry about that. Something strange happening to her in the battle of course interests Lorenzo, but he would have been just as interested in others if they had abnormal performance. Also, It's cute how Mai thinks Alexei may be in the infirmary after his Framewerk blew up.
...yeah...that was a misread on my part...going to edit that part of the sentence out now actually -___-'
As the smoke cleared, the green-ish energy from the Setsuka's hands continued to glow, indicating that the T system was still in effect.
One thing that troubled and even relieved Mai was her "lack of presence". Even in her framework, it just seemed that she frequently get's ignored...well not entirely. The big mouth Miles acknowledged her presence before this whole thing started but now, he was most likely in the infirmary...
That's when Mai heard the open comm link chatter about, of all inefficient things, a ten second rule since it seemed the alliances were over now that the field of battle got narrowed down some.
"...inefficient...do you think the Cruxi will give you that kind of an honorable battle?", Mai droned on the open channel.
But then, she stated this.
"...but acting like this will surely single me out...so...I accept your terms", she then droned.
Now, she had to make another choice...go to Zone D to get out of the "Recon Drone's" sight or go back to Zone B and use the pilliars as cover to force hand-to-hand and close quarters battles. Obviously, D would be the choice but that'll draw all sorts of attention on her since all the other pilots would know that she could use the underground tunnels to possibly pop out of anywhere and ambush unsuspecting pilots.
But there was a part of her...for some reason, she wanted to at least challenge one of these pilots...something that NEVER crossed her mind since she was trained to win...to kill...by any means necessary..."fair play" was something her old Framework division heavily frowned upon.
"...I accept anyone ready to risk their life against me...", Mai droned and thrusted off immedately, heading for Zone B.
