BattleMechs were the kings of the modern battlefield. Ten or more meters tall, tougher than nearly any combat vehicle to come before them, and blistering with more armaments than most ancient tank divisions. Even the lightest of could level a city in a few hours or days of concerted effort. They could decimate whole armies of conventional soldiers at ranges that rendered them safe from retaliation; with far more mobility than any conventional vehicle could match. BattleMechs were powerful, deadly, and tough.

They were also pathetically easy to knock out, if one only knew how.

Infantry Sergeant Chang Maryweather and the rest of his platoon were just such persons. They had no fancy armor, no army of scientists to turn them into superhuman soldiers, no cybernetic assistance. What they did have was a woven-steel tripwire the width of a strong man’s wrist and time.

They also had explosives.

From Chang’s experience, no `Mech was intimidating when it was laying flat on its face and the First Kestrel’s Shadow Hawk was no exception. Chang strode forward with a casual purpose, he was in no hurry. The machine’s hand flexed and relaxed in a way that only happened when the pilot was stunned. He’d seen it before. He’d see it again.

Crouching low in front of the cockpit’s transplex window, he rapped a single knuckle on the sheet to draw the pilot’s attention then swiftly taped a shaped charge to the vulnerable surface. The pilot popped his cockpit hatch. What else could he do? Chang shrugged, turning his back on the machine as his platoon moved to capture the surrendered pilot.

Salvage was salvage.
