Nobody hurts Breet! Not on Piawii's watch!

Another lifter in their position probably would have released the lead on Breet and let the seastrike take the bird. It's bad to have to sacrifice part of the sled's "engine," but it's even worse to have a dead bird and confused predator with a lot of downward momentum tied to the craft. Thankfully, uh, biting the large wild carnivore also turned out ok.
