Gunjin Kerra “Taku” Nicholas grumbled quietly as his Jenner distanced itself from the fighting. The Dragon’s Sword himself had set Taku on this task: where there was one lance of Clanners, there were bound to be more—and with the bulk of the DCMS’ infantry and spotters focused outwards, that ment it was up to him: the fastest remaining `Mech in the Second Sword of Light’s command company, to scout for the enemy.
Nicknamed ‘Taku’ by the rest of the unit—something Nicholas had always assumed was a mispronunciation of Tako, octopus, one of his favorite foods; Nicholas may have been dismayed to learn that the origin was actually the word ‘Otaku,’ and was a direct slight against his non-asian ancestry. One of the largest—and certainly the heaviest—pilot in the Second Sword of Light, Nicholas always looked comical trying to squeeze into the cockpit hatch of his Jenner and his weight was decidedly un-Kurita… so long as one discounted the irascible Chandrasekhar. Indeed, Taku’s love of food was legendary among the Sworders—as the boiling pot of ramen sitting on his cockpit’s heat exchangers could attest.
His mission had nearly ended before it’d begun when he’d burst through the thin glass of the Kazemizu building and straight into the gunsights of a Clan medium `Mech. Taku counted himself fortunate then, that the Clanner had apparently decided him not worth killing and had moved on to engage the Second Sword of Light’s main counter-push.
Taku’s radio crackled quietly. “You, `Mechwarrior. The one in the Jenner, what are you doing?”
His rotund features curled into a parody of an angry expression that many among the Second Sword of Light would (and had, in the past) found exceedingly comical as he toggled his transmission switch. “Who is this?” he demanded with his best intimidating growl.
“Ah, I am Kat Yamaguchi,” the voice replied. “Oyabun of Luthien. My men and I watch the river for more Clanners, we will keep you informed. You may return to the battle for the Coordinator’s life.”
“So ka?” Taku replied with incredulity.
“Return to the fight, gunjin,” the Dragon Sword—Yorinaga Kurita himself—interjected. “Yamaguchi-san, our lives—and that of the Dragon—are in your hands.”
Deep in the bowls of one of his dockside warehouses, the Young Kat Yamaguchi grinned. “We serve the Dragon as well, Kurita Yorinaga-sama. We shall be as the divine wind: no Clanner will pass into or out of Imperial City and live.”
