Part 633: Operation: Deserved Requital - Turn 6

Operation: Deserved Requital: Tactical Update 6

“Devastator down,” Chiarina brought her Sunder around the toppling Clan machine, keeping well clear to avoid a desperation tackle. The Clanner didn’t seem to have such a dangerous maneuver in him, but it never hurt to be cautious. She’d been about to gloat when the enemy pilot’s final shots struck her machine. A hit from a Gauss slug rocked the Sunder’s torso at least two degrees off center, and her damage diagnostic monitor flashed an angry red.

“Shit—they’ve penned my torso.” Her eyes fixed on the scrolling readout as the D.I. computer ran an automatic system test. After a moment she released the breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding. “Nothing critical yet, but another hit like that and I might lose my lasers.”

“Understood, target down,” Lt. Caro replied, ignoring her damage report. “Earthshaker lance, pick a new primary and bring it down. Let’s see how many Assault `Mechs we can bag.”
