[ Even the circumstances of those locks are unusual; he'd requested they be made, for his own peace of mind more than anything else. Bad things happen if they're not there, and it allows him to put his mind at rest.
Even with his dizziness, he's still impressively fast; he skids out of the way of one sphere at the cost of diving, purposely, right into the path of the other.
The decision creates interesting results. He hears the signals that alert him to one of his locks being compromised; his data reacts at that opening. It's nowhere near enough to change his form, but it means he takes less damage than usual - some of it is siphoned off, absorbed in a way that's not like the program Forte uses to copy other navis' powers.
He certainly doesn't intend to die here (the fact that he's conscious enough to hang on at all is a testament to his willpower and his high defense), so instead of retaliating, he begins limping off. He knows that Forte won't allow him to walk unimpeded for long, but he's going to get as far as he can in this form before tipping his hand.

His lack of hand?
Whatever. ]
