Next Turn’s Movement Phase



Dark globules dropped away from the enemy Phoenix Hawk, and floated—suspended in space for a few moments. Odd, Kei thought, he was still lining up his shot—nobody had fired a shot. Had it taken some sort of damage? Was the machine simply not built for space combat?

He didn’t ponder too closely, and felt a surety of purpose pass over him as the dark spots vanished from his thermals. It’d just been a targeting error. His Kintaro was plagued with them—once, it had decided a cliff face was actually an enemy Warhammer in disguise. He smiled as it finally locked onto the Clanner. “No shooting stars to mistake for enemy Aerospace?” he taunted his venerable machine as he pulled the trigger. Invisible lances of light speared the enemy ‘Mech, sending a plume of molten armor from the Clan design—aiming a weapon one could not see was a difficult prospect. Fortunately, his missiles were far more predictable.

Armor spurted from Gwenhwyfar’s Wyvern like blood from a severed artery: in globules of molten metal and incandescent gasses that glowed white-hot as the Clan machine’s own invisible counterattack shook her ‘Mech. In his Kintaro, Kei grimaced—how many lasers did this Clan bastard have? The damage was unthinkable from such a little ‘Mech, his computer painted a grim picture: all the armor had been stripped from the arm housing Gwenhwyfar’s large laser! Only the special coating each of the ComGuards had received had saved the Wyvern’s most potent weapon from destruction!

The Clanner knew exactly where to shoot, and exactly how much—he simply hadn’t been counted on Precentor Miraborg’s foresight. In his heart, Kei knew that was not a mistake the Clanner would make again.

His commline hissed.

“Shit!” Vandal cursed, “What in the—gah! Blake’s Blood, what are these things? Get them off! Get them off!”
