“We got this guy,” Private Flavian Gryphon crowed triumphantly as he brought his Spider around in a lazy turn and speared the battered remains of the enemy Griffin with his medium lasers. Titanium and steel flashed to vapor as his medium lasers speared the machine like some ancient hunter prodding a wounded lion. There was an actinic flash as the `Mech’s jump jets exploded under the lasers’ scarlet beams, and the Griffin bled smoke from a dozen breaches.

Like a beast at bay, it came about—the Lion was dying, but the eagle still had eyes and a vicious beak. Flavian felt a moment of supreme triumph as the Griffin erupted—taking out a much larger `Mech was every scout pilot’s dream. Everything in his Spider’s cockpit seemed suffused in a warm glow.

An amber flash filled Flavian’s eyes.
