Technician Cassandra huddled behind a swiftly-abandoned baggage carrier, hands placed over her head to ward her face and neck from flying shrapnel. Arranged in a line abreast, the distant JagerMechs opened fire with their deafening autocannons. Cassandra wailed in pain with each shot as hypersonic shells assaulted her unprotected ears. She couldn’t hear herself screaming, and in the brief lull between shots her hands came away bloody. The ringing in her ears was almost worse than the shots themselves.
Almost.
Alright, the rational part of her brain admitted, it wasn’t even close. Almost instinctively she snapped her eyes shut as a laser hit nearby, the emerald beam leaving a hideous purple afterimage on the inside of her eyelids. Technician Cassandra had been in combat before, she’d even earned her unofficial surname, Stark, after singlehandedly repairing a Mist Lynx with an internal skeleton so warped by a fall even chief technicians were prepared to write it off as a loss. Combat had never been this loud, even when Star Commander Jharens had nearly stepped on her in his zeal to fire upon a star of Inner Sphere Locusts.
The actinic flash of a PPC crossed overhead like a stroke of lightning, and Cassandra’s agony congealed into instantaneous resolve. Springing to her feet, she sprinted towards the low bunker a few hundred meters distant. One of House Kurita’s strange new heavy `Mechs, which reminded her of the old Star League Nightstar, kicked up a hail of moist soil as it strode between her and her destination. Without a moment’s hesitation she ran between its legs. In any other circumstances, she might have spared it an unmistakably offensive gesture but today?
Today she just wanted to get indoors and away from those damned autocannons!
