"Monster braced and ready, Quarter. I'm staying put - we need every gun we've got."

Rough a ride as this was, he's used to quite literally navigating a hurricane through the spirit world - he can handle this.

Without an absolute lock on a lot of targets, he saves the big missile salvo, but the artillery ship still has the four railguns, which fire into the void again and again, now that he has a shot.

With the Quarter being put into full use, he's not especially trying to pick off targets - just being precise enough to rake the leviathans and shoot into shrike swarms to buy the fighters as much room as possible to maneuver or fall back.
