To someone who knows her, as John knows Ami, it sends another message: The Hunters don't matter to her at all. She has no personal grudge here, she's fighting them simply because they are the enemy. Spartan-031 has learned these are the easiest battles, with no regrets.
Before long, though, the others have identified the renegade ship. They organize to rid themselves of the viper in their midst, and their target careens dizzily to the ground. There is no sympathy for any partner who might be mourning her loss. They aren't pleased to have sacrificed a ship, but at least this will stop its deadly progress.
They realize their mistake when two more go down after they've eliminated what they only now recognize must have been their comrade. Well, they'd wanted a witch. And Ami can be as cunning as any witch that ever existed.
