The aliens crewing the enemy battleship were previously content to ignore the other human mechs and starships in the star system.
They recognized that an ace mech was by far the greatest threat a human pioneer could deploy on the battlefield. As long as they could take down the Mars, the rest of the human mech force posed no threat!
However, a part of that calculus changed once the other human units proved that they could pose a more substantial threat to the alien vessel.
This was why the aliens showed a greater willingness to redirect a part of their formidable firepower towards the Antonio Cross and her compliment of expert pilots!
"Incoming!"
This time, one of the powerful laser beams managed to get lucky enough to inflict a glancing blow on the Cross Clan's fleet carrier! One of her energy shield's managed to block most of the blow, but it did not come without a cost.
