The "Cloud Rainbow" followed its orders to economize on "ammunition" and only attacked when the insect race puppets crossed the red line, completely ignoring the other immobile puppets.
This created an eerily stale standoff.
If the enemy didn't move, they didn't either. But the moment the enemy moved, they'd attack.
This was the "Cloud Rainbow"'s current battle strategy.
After a strenuous journey, the shuttle controlled by Link finally made it past the distorted battlefield, ready for a close encounter with the Nest before a large group of the Scorpion Insect Tribe could reinforce it.
However, before making contact, the shuttle needed to circle around the Nest.
A Nest that endured three rounds of the star-annihilating cannon without damage clearly couldn't be harmed by a mere shuttle's self-destruction.
Had they gone through all this effort, braving various obstacles to get close to the Nest, just to set off some fireworks?
Link wasn't that poetic, not that literary.
