End Phase:



Hail’s Javelin took off again, bringing a smile to Snow’s lips. He kicked down on the throttle pedals that controlled his ‘Mech, feeling the heavy resistance of the bar that signaled the ‘Mech would be moving at maximum running speed; then pushing past it to kick in the jump jets.

The Assassin may be tiny, but it was graceful for a ‘Mech its size. In only a few moments, Snow found himself sailing above the fog. From here, Tharkad City looked like a collection of buildings rising out of a cloud. He felt as though he were a mile in the air, not a mere hundred meters.

It was an enjoyable feeling until another wave of heat flooded his cramped cockpit. Carefully, Snow feathered his jets as he brought his Assassin in for a landing. He cringed as the slower Javelin passed right in front of him, angling for the same landing zone—what he wouldn’t give for the ability to coordinate with the rest of his lance. Still, he was far enough back to easily divert to a safer landing zone, the impact of his medium ‘Mech doing little more than cracking pavement and causing some minor body damage to a parked aircar.

The quiet voice on his radio became more insistent, perhaps a bit more panicked. They were running out of time.
