Part 712: Aeaea - Turn 13

Aeaea 13

“Enemy jamming unit is down, it’s—impossible. It’s some sort of ‘Mech-carried HPG.” The light lance leader broadcast. “Hyperspace shouldn’t interact with real space that way!”

The pressure weighing down on Serena’s temples subsided at once as suddenly the Wolverine comm. channels were filled with irritated muttering. She immediately queried the orbiting reserves. It took her several moments to realize the unusual pressure she felt on her cheeks was the involuntary grimace that data had induced. A half-dozen company-sized units that weren’t actively engaged fighting the Coyotes had gone suddenly silent, and twice the Wolverines had moved to engage the Coyotes on Circe only to discover they were already under attack by their own second line troops.

“This is bedlam,” her fingers flew over a secondary keyboard, the battle momentarily forgotten. Her ‘Mech moved almost of its own accord, obeying the whims her subconscious mind relayed to it through her cybernetics. She barely even noticed when she cut down the last of the enemy scouts with her pulse lasers.

The Wolverine command structure was riddled with holes. The battles’ casualties with the Coyotes seemed normal enough on the surface, but the majority of the real losses were company commanders or higher. They’d have to fire up the HPG to see if the other assault forces were having the same trouble, but—

“We’ve really kicked a hornet’s nest down here. Command override: deploy the Legion to grid five-four-five to secure the Primary Asset. We need to power the SHPG and send a situation report to President Amaris. The Clan Homeworlds are in a state of armed rebellion.”
