Janos Valens grinned as the Whitworth fled, its continuous jumping had driven its heat up, and the experienced Capellan pilot had backed off to buy himself a little time.

“Not today, my friend,” he grinned, his Ostroc lunging forward towards the Whitworth’s landing zone. A spray of LRMs sailed over his `Mech, several warheads bouncing harmlessly from his armor—he was simply too close for the missiles to arm. Panicked by his relentless pursuit, the Capellan `Mechwarrior opened fire with his lasers, but scored only a single hit. Janos’ battle computer updated his `Mech’s outline, but another yellow patch in a sea of the same was nothing to worry about.

“Today’s just not your lucky day,” his crosshairs fell over the Whitworth. He thumbed the secondary and tertiary interlocks, lighting up the Whitworth with his close-range weaponry and a single large laser. The badly overheating Whitworth crumpled as his heavy laser caught it square in the chest, bypassing armor and severing the last of its primary supports. It fell like a man with a severed spine, the cockpit exploding outward as the pilot ejected. The Whitworth landed heavily on its back.

“The other two are fleeing,” Lieutenant Davion broadcast, his voice uncertain.

“Should we pursue?” Janos asked, “Press the fight? Or just take our victory and abscond with Big J.M.?”

Players: Failure is now impossible. Accept victory?

The First Regulan Guards have allowed their opponents to withdraw from the field, claiming total victory! As usual, I need an MVP for the players and the OpForce.
