While pondering this, he caught sight of a flare shooting up over the ships. Hrm? Someone wanted attention. Lelouch indulged them through Gawain's long range mode for its factsphere and beheld a man standing on the bridge of one of the ships holding a pair of semaphore flags, quickly repeating the same six letters over and over again.

Magnet. Magnet. Magnet.

A cold chill swept down Lelouch's spine. Magnetism? Powerful enough to draw ships together? But if that was true, then the enemy's intention was more devious, more cruel and more despicable than he had previously believed! Even a bug like Sawazaki deserved better than for his life to be thrown away for something like this!

The quadrupedal Knightmare's domed top began to glow a threatening, pulsing red. Then there was a horrible scraping sound, and all the Gun-Ru wreckage moved, just a little at first, but then suddenly with a great deal more speed. The effect was the same as throwing a pebble among a nest of rats, making them scatter in all directions too quickly to keep track of.

"Oh!" Lelouch hastily grabbed the Gawain's controls and pulled it straight up into the air over and away from the chaff using the powerful propulsion built into the Knightmare.
