Faust had remained on the bridge all along, simply monitoring the sensors station. This black Gundam had certainly gotten a bead on them quickly which was very worrisome. It likely meant someone already had intel on them, not considering that these newtypes attracted each other in a bizarre way.
" I can take it from here on out, dear." He approached Amelie, suggesting her to put an end to this farce. From here on out it would be a fight to the death against the Titans.
" Mobile suit team, you're cleared to engage. We're going to continue on with our course so don't stray too far behind." he ordered the pilots to down all hostile Titans mobile suits, prioritizing that black RX-78.

It was impossible to get a bead on Sig's Galbaldy but that didn't keep Fatima from chambering another HE round, firing it at it's general direction. It would no doubt miss entirely but it was better than simply letting him close that distanced unopposed.
She would attempt to maneuver out of the way of those beams but one would struck the long gun she was carrying, rendering it effectively useless. She'd used her quick reaction time to block a portion of that heat discharge so it wasn't exactly a coincidence either.
Anastasia's beam rifle most accurate shot was blocked by her shield, upon realizing someone else was drawing a bead on her. Right away she knew she was in trouble. While she could take on Sig by herself the truth was they were putting the pressure on her now. This reaction from the young pilot was so exhilarating for the cyber newtytpe who was still chuckling to herself, this was all so amusing words would fail to convey her own satisfaction at causing so much grief and pain.

Maximilian and his escort approached as fast as they would dare. The three Bazooka Armed Quels taking time to adjust targeting for bombardment of the Achilles while keeping an eye out for incoming ordinance and attack. The sniper unit had already departed to get a better angle on the Achilles to try and at least slow it down or split its fire while providing support. Maximilian however had now reached the seeming apex of his frustration and anger now broadcasting it far and wide as his sights locked onto the Achilles and the flashes of combat ahead. This was especially felt by any New Types as Maximilians broadcast was like a siren song of sorts with a familiar undertone that couldn't be quite identified and grew in strength as he approached.
The Advance pair of Quels with Fatima had now caught up to her and began to open fire with a 90mm GM rifle and scatter gun. The shots were fairly well placed thanks to pre-aiming but were not intended to cause damage. Primarily they were operating on their given orders trying to give fatima room to breath and better shots for their sniper. They were however being effected by an invisible miasma of aggression Pushing just a bit more than normal, cutting their shots more aggressively. "Collet, Give us some support!" one said as he hit half full on his magazine.
Maxamilian now was in firing range with his own rifle as he kept speed and let off three three shot bursts with his 90mm rifle at the Gabaldy beta primarily, The muzzle flash illuminating the under-slung weapon he had equipped. He was alone as the bazooka armed Quels now shouldered their weapons after slowing and as one fired a single round each. The shots aimed at the Achilles. "Fatima, Iv brought you a present." Maximilian broadcast to fatima as the 100mm machine gun could be seen on his back skirt armor secured by an equipment clamp. The extended magazine rubbing off some paint. "Make it count. These Zeon sympathizers and monsters have earned this beating.".
Meanwhile the XO had the crew begin donning normal suits and bringing Point defenses and anti MS defenses on line. She had decided it too risky to bring the main guns to bear for now. The minovsky particles gave to much curve to be sure with the captain deployed. But she was prepared to open fire should it be necessary. Though this was hard for her as well as the rest of the crew thanks to Maximilians lingering aura of anger. Though unbeknownst to her the members of the crew with more "Open minds" were about to open fire regardless of orders. Tabitha and Ryoko meanwhile could tell that things were heating up with this small part of the crew as one of the two barreled beam turrets was being prepared to fire.

Sig had been so focused in on the Gundam and Fatima who was piloting it that he didn't even notice the pair of Quels that came in putting themselves in his path to Fatima. Even then, it took him a moment as he was so hyper fixated on Fatima and her presence herself. A dull sensation compared to his fixation came about and he opened his eyes wide. Two Quels had drawn a bead on him, and were currently in the process of aiming a 90mm Gm Rifle and Scatter Gun at him.
His pattern of zig zagging allowed him to barely prevent critical damage as some shots whizzed passed him into the endless void of space. Though, it was mainly thanks to him quickly raising his shield that prevented disaster. Thud! Thud! His Gabaldy vibrated violently and shook even more so as a 90mm round cratered his shield. A blast mark and sparks flying out as he peered over the shield. Eye locking on the Quel with the rifle it would flash suddenly as Sig decided to continue closing the distance. Pointing his shield as the Quel that had landed it's shot, he fired off a missile center of mass.

The Achilles had not remained idle. Faust was quick to order the crew to get the engines going at full power and drop electronic counter measures that would interfere with the Titans sip sensors. This of course worked both ways so his forces would have to stick together if they hoped to catch up with them.
" We've bought ourselves enough time. Order all our mobile suits it's time to pull back. Give Sonia the order to cover our retreat." He would instruct to Amelie, now fully in command of the bridge. It had been 4 years since his last time in the front lines
The EW antenna would begin transmitting a jamming signal shortly after the message was relayed to their mobile suits tangled up with the Titan's forces. By now the Pegasus class carrier was gaining speed, heading out to space and away from the lunar surface.

" I kinda over extended, didn't I?" Fatima would meekly apologize, having used the RX-78 thrusters to pull back away from the Galbaldy. It seemed that new machine of his was more than a match for her Gundam. Deciding to not take her chances she accepted the 100mm machinegun, the black mobile suit reaching out for it and extending it's stock for added stability.
If Max hadn't showed up along their escorts she would likely be in a very sorry situation, having gotten in trouble thanks to her own over confidence.

It was likely easy for Faust to tell just how upset Amelie was when he told her to allow him to take command of things now that they had broken down so much. She pushed herself out of her seat, holding herself back from swearing even more. But she remained on the bridge, watching everything that was happening. "We have to get out of here..." she said to herself as Faust cleared the mobile suit team to engage.
As she watched everything beginning to unfold, the brunette couldn't help going over everything in her mind. How had the Titans figured out what was going on? She still had that ominous feeling in the back of her mind, but she was too distracted to put the pieces together. Was it something she'd said? Something in the way she'd spoken with the officer from the Tobruk? This was finally her chance to actually do something about them, and now they were at risk of having it all taken away.
But their pilots facing off with the Titans' had bought them the time they needed to get away from them. She snapped out of her thoughts for the moment when she heard what Faust instructed her. She didn't waste any time, getting in contact with Sonia. "Sonia. Cover our retreat. We have to go while we still can." She relayed the message right before the jamming signal was transmitted. Amelie balled her hand up into a tight fist, frustrated about everything that had happened. Now she could only watch and hope they wouldn't lose anyone else.

With a roar of anger the team that had taken over the gunnery station for the turret now tracking the fleeing Achilies fired the twin beam cannons. The ship moving at such high speed caused the suprisingly well placed shot to miss and strike the bridges I field. The barrier dispersed the beams which were wavering off course now from the minovsky particles veering dangerously close to the titans mobile suits.
The sniper and Bazooka team opened fire. Having been lining up shots for some time now. The three bazookas fired anticipating the ships movement from the beggining. They knew that no target like a ship was ever so easily set out as a practice target. The 15 Bazooka shells flew quickly through the void as the Beam cannons fired. Causing them to veer out of the way. The sniper unit fired it's beam rifle at the starboard side housing of the ships beam cannon in hopes of disabling it for the future. Along with any CIWS.
Maximillian fired the rest of his magazine at the fleeing mobile suits as he kicked the speed of his quel up to evade the worst of stray beam cannon fire. He was lucky to get away with the head and right side of his machine now severly damaged. The pain stripped away along with the pristine grey black color of the metal underneath as the heat caused the metal to fatigue and detetiorate. Electronics burned out and circus fused as the visor of the Quel shattered. The GM rifle was also destroyed along with the right side hip magazine which cooked off causing further damage.
Through all this chaos Maximillian stayed focued on the Achillies and the traitors aboared it. The hatred eminating from him was now ebbing as a kind of dark emotional crystallization occured. They had run from him successfully and his own men had almost killed him. Though likely this would just be the start of a long relationship. The mighty warrior Achillies turned against his own people, now hunted by a protector of its people.
The two escort machines with fatima departed to recover maxamilian who now had begun to ruminate and form plans. He would need an outlet sooner than later for this built up agression lest it feed his darker side.
Upon the Tobruk in fighting had begun as security teams had engaged in bloody combat with the gunnery 'cult'. It seemed that they had become utter slaves to their impulses and lacked the ability to remember their own allies had been in the line of fire. This would cause it's own problems.
