He wondered: what kind of rune could Kailen use in this situation?
A concealment rune may conceal him for just ten seconds before it gives him away. However ten seconds may not be enough for him to have gotten on the spaceship by then.
If he uses an illusion rune, or paralytic rune, the same thing would apply here. It would probably wear off before he even gets near to one of the floating spaceships and he'd be discovered and probably killed.
As for the idea of using an illusion, or paralytic rune on the machinary lifeforms, which would help him find a window of opportunity and kill them with his vines, it was out of the picture. He was too weak to do that.
They were strong.
Also, if he could have done that, he wouldn't. He was working against time. Each second spent here could be his last, drowning him in flames of a city which could be set on fire any minute from now.
So why would he waste it fighting someone instead of escaping this hell?
