The reason I selected that particular option is that it is disabling but isn't a 100%-guaranteed kill move. We see Neo go down but there is enough ambiguity in whether she's dead that, should she show up later (with a scar on her belly) it won't break suspension of disbelief.

Yeah I understood. Just doesn't seem very Ruby like of her. From what we saw of Aura, Neo would definitely be able to heal herself. Or at least lessen the damage to get medical treatment. I just see Ruby finding a way or using a distraction to knock Neo off the ship before she resorts to shanking.

Yeah I was also sad we didn't see more dark. Especially when we see scenes where a Fairgrounds shop owner is just hiding behind a booth in comical fashion.

Though there is the one scene where Ozpin is watching the footage and we see the group of three waving for help. One looks injured. But yeah, not quote as dark as we wanted.
