“Surrender?” Wilberforce laughed incredulously. “You misunderstand, Star Captain. We are not going to surrender. My commander was just curious what kind of man you are and I have told him all about you.”

“You, Ristar, are as lazy and complacent as our Clan’s wasteful and stupid approach to battle is crippling to our future! And you don’t even see it, you never have seen it! We’ve known how you would approach this battle from the very beginning! As we speak, our inferno infantry is waylaying your tank support. You have no back-up. You,” Wilberforce pressed on, his words punctuated by his heavy autocannon, “have been outmaneuvered yet again, sibkin. Your thoughtless predictability has played you right into our hands.”

Tjris Amirault’s deep voice roared with mocking laughter. “I have been outplayed, have I? If you are referring to the rest of your regiment, they’re too late. They won’t land for another ten hours thanks to our omnifighters! That leaves me with plenty of time to crush you and these Inner Sphere dogs.”

The Sohei’s cockpit glowed a malevolent red as the skull-faced `Mech stared downfield. “Oh, since it seems you were unaware--not unexpected, it was nothing a tank commander needed to know after all--I should tell you there is a reason we were replacing that Cyclops with a Banshee. Our scientists call it a ‘design flaw.’ Whatever they’ve decided, however, I call it,” Amirault sneered, his `Mech’s arms rising.

Sapphire beams spat from the thick barrels on each, so bright that Wilberforce’s neurohelmet dimmed automatically to keep them from ruining his vision. Wilberforce lurched as the armor over his left breast burst into vapor or ran molten. Wilberforce’s `Mech diagnostics showed clear, superficial exterior damage. Nothing more. He opened his mouth to retort at the same instant his ammunition exploded.

“Poetic justice.”
