Awesome! Cerulean is looking great, but I must admit I'm worried about her long term prospects.
Presumably they know how outmatched they are, but evacuating everyone not required for a fight still seems like a reasonable precaution. It's not like there might be a defensive fleet that would require the station to resupply them after the fight is over. Still, I get the feeling that Gora Relay is now a
self-service gas station.
I had wondered if they were planning on putting the Highland-7's inertial dampeners to the test on impact, but they still need to be able to escape afterwards. (Assuming they don't have to abandon ship and fly away in a different shuttle.)

I suspect the guards are making sure all of their gear is in order. Someloroi's going to need to carry those fuel pods/lines/tanks, right? As for Tempo, she does seem like someone who is capable of working behind the scenes, but I suspect she hasn't really had an opportunity or reason to interject yet. Talon hasn't really made any obvious mistakes in her duties, so there probably isn't much cause for Tempo to give orders. (Assuming Tempo hasn't been calling the shots over Sanzai already.)

I have a feel that, at least from Stillstorm and Tempo's point of view, it would be better to destroy the cargo than let it fall into Umiak hands as a cloud of debris. But I could be wrong about that.

My take is that the
field in question is like a playing field, or whatever testing, trial, or combat equivalent is relevant to the Loroi. Like the english idiom about a
level playing field, only in reverse, I'm guessing the tilted field is a set of circumstances weighted unfairly against the speaker.
