“Six,” Acolyte Gwenhwyfar Kerwyn called, “we are being flanked.”
A Terra native, she’d been born into ComStar’s legacy—the Word of Blake flowed through her mind like the blood flowing through her veins. So immersed was she in ComStar’s culture that she wouldn’t have hesitated to give up the blood before she gave up the Word. That was why she had volunteered for this.
The most humanoid ‘Mech ever constructed, her Wyvern was a technological marvel—but most considered it a showpiece rather than a functioning combat unit. It was slow for its weight, heavily armored and armed with a mix of weapons that made it a death sentence to a light raider. Unfortunately, it was ill-suited to combating heavy designs. It was also extremely rare, which was probably fortunate since most civilians felt the design fell square into the uncanny valley.
In Gwenhwyfar’s skilled hands, the Wyvern’s inherently humanlike motions were so smooth they seemed almost natural. She rotated her ‘Mech’s head for a better look at the approaching Clan design.
“It’s a Phoenix Hawk, I think. Heavily modified, barely recognizable.” It was—a bizarre V-shaped head sat on a streamlined torso—the left arm ended in a hand and a cluster of what she assumed were the machineguns which had most likely silenced the jumptroops. The right ended in the barrel of a large energy weapon—probably a laser, but with the stories she’d heard of the Clans it could’ve been something more exotic like a Gauss Rifle. She could pick out few real details—the lack of diffused light would make detecting any fine details difficult on this side of the ship. Fortunately, thermals could compensate, but they never told the whole story and that had her nervous. There was something strange about fighting a completely unknown design, and with all the stories she'd heard about the Clan's 'Mechs...
“Understood, three.” came Vandal’s measured reply. “Design is unknown. Make no assumptions—it may look like a Phoenix Hawk, but it might not fight like one. We have a Guillotine and a—Grasshopper, I think, up here. Try to keep that Phoenix Hawk from coming too close.”
