Upon decoupling parasite craft immediately fell backwards and ripped off host aircraft's vertical stabilizer, destroying both immediately.
It's a cluster fuck, remember this paradox, this is very important, more fuel=more weight, more weight=need more engine, more engine=need more fuel, and the cycle repeats.
