The Spider crumpled as Desmond’s large laser caught it square in the back. Desmond imagined his shot would’ve severed the spine if the Spider had been a man, not a ‘Mech. Instead, he cored the engine and his shot burned through the Spider’s center torso. The ‘Mech crumpled like a marionette with cut strings.
“St. Croix!” Lt. Barnes demanded, “get the hell out of the way!” As if to punctuate his demands, the azure arc of his PPC missed her Vulcan by less than a meter. Desmond cringed, at that range the stream of charged particles accelerated to near lightspeed would’ve cored her ‘Mech from behind.
“Not until I kill this Drac, sir!” St. Croix cursed in reply. The Hussar withered under her assault, staggered, nearly fell; its large laser a smoking ruin. St. Croix kicked it, it fell. She kicked it again for good measure. “And stay down, you jackass!”
In his Jenner, Yoshita pulled to a slow stop. “… Hey,” he grumped. “You didn’t save any for me!”

After-Action Report:
This was a good intro, I think. It worked a lot better than I expected, even with people's stupidly good luck and my own fuckups regarding vehicles.
Now, this game needs an MVP (both friendly and enemy) and we've got several strong contenders. I'll leave the MVPs up to you, although if I had my way, the MVP would be our little Vulcan (for being such a great punching bag) and our
