Since it was Sirius's ship that was under the most direct assault, Scarlet and her crew could do little more than offer ranged support. That, though, was still considerable. While Scarlet herself, Songrose, and a few other assorted crew members shot at any Jarei and riders who came close enough, Stefan was readying his own offensive.

The lad was no magician and no charismatic figure, but he was a technological genius, and he liked to think that this counted for something. Steering the Nightfall so that the starboard side was aimed for the Chaos, he leapt belowdecks and, leaving the cannons alone, went straight for the more adjustable Gatling guns. These, he had modified only a bit, but the addition was going to prove most useful here: instead of being at a fixed angle, they could rotate quite sharply up or down, which in this case meant they could take aim at the sky without running the risk of hitting the allied crew. aiming carefully, Stefan picked out what looked to be the leader and fired a barrage. The guns were pretty accurate, but movement was a variabl he could not entirely account for.
