Her tertiary monitor winked out; then back on with an update as her Zeus rocked under another kick. Reports were the same all over the regimental commsthe Clanners focusing their attacks on limbs: arms and, more often, legs. She panted heavily, the heat in her cockpit sweltering even with the coolant circulating freely to keep her core body temperature low. There was a reason Mechwarriors feared fire: the Mechs were resistant, but they certainly werent. Sam coughed quietly as thin wisps of smoke trailed through her cockpiteither her Life Support system was malfunctioning, or some unimportant system had caught fire. The coughing wasnt necessary, her neurohelmet was sealed even if her cockpit wasnt, but it made her feel better.
If nothing else, it let her take her mind off the near-catastrophic damage the Clanner was doing to her left leg. Shed feared it irreparable before; but even though myomer was fire-resistant the insulation protecting the wiring that supplied the power to make the myomer contract like real muscles wasnt.
She slammed her Zeuss right arm against the heavily-armored Clan mech once again, putting another massive dent along its broad left shoulder. Another hit like that and shed break through, she thought; then winced as the bare metal skeleton of her Mechs left leg slammed into the forest floor. Her follow-up punch missed wide as she recovered her balance, her autocannon sweeping through the air above the Lucernes head.
You fight well but this battle is over. The Clanner taunted. Surrender, Mechwarrior Samantha. You have proven your courage, quiaff? You will make a worthy addition to our Clan.
