Following the ilKhan’s orders with a precision that spoke more of his obsessive attention to detail than any true personal loyalty, Star Captain Nasrullah powered his ninety-ton Kingfisher around a corner and straight towards the last known position of the Kurita house forces. His expression vaguely resembled a smile, though any onlookers would undoubtedly see only a determined grimace. If he understood the ilKhan’s plan properly, he was to be the key unit, the linchpin. Or, perhaps more accurately, the anvil upon which the volunteer Star’s faster elements would hammer the Kuritan `Mechwarriors to dust.
An enemy Thug rounded the corner to meet him, closing to a range that Nasrullah would’ve considered nigh-suicidal for a `Mech with old-fashioned PPCs. He swung his weapons in line even as the enemy Phoenix Hawk sailed over his head, the forty-five ton `Mech dropping square into his rear arc—where it was joined by a blood-red Spider and, moments later, another damnable Panther.
“All goes as you expected, ilKhan,” Nasrullah grumbled into the comms.
His announcement was met with momentary silence, then a roar that was equal parts rage and frustration split the airwaves. The ilKhan, his voice boiling over with rage shouted loudly enough that the comms distorted his voice to save the hearing of his Star. “There’s a stravag Jenner in the building! It’s blocking my assault path!”
