“Damn it,” Weber’s voice warbled a tinny curse over the comms as his Griffin’s wedge-shaped foot smashed into the Talos’s ankle, “why won’t you just die already?”
Sergeant Major Mao couldn’t disagree, these Taurian bastards were tougher than they had any right to be. Weber’s Griffin flinched visibly as an echoing staccato boom from behind took him by surprise. Mao laughed, and clapped her hands loudly enough for her helmet microphone to pick up. “That’s how you do it! Scratch one Rommel—now we’ve got the biggest gun!”
“No we don’t,” Fynn grumbled. “The Capellans do.”
************************************************************************
Anne Bellard cried out as a quartet of SRMs loaded with gelled incendiaries burst against her Firebee’s chest. Fire spilled outwards, dripping from her `Mech as globules of high-potency oxidizers and chemical fuel splashed everywhere precisely as they’d been designed to do. Many Mechwarriors had died when those incendiaries flowed into cracks in the cockpit transplex to bake the pilot alive; or oozed through poorly-repaired seams or battle damage to cook off the ammo waiting in a `Mech’s storage bins.
She was lucky, her machine was still sealed up tight; but Inferno rounds had another, more insidious effect: they interfered with the convection currents that carried heat away from a BattleMech and oversaturated a machine’s heat sinks. Anne’s primary monitor screamed heat warnings at her, and she burned her hand slapping the button to abort a shutdown. The last thing a pilot under attack by Infernos ever wanted was to shut down!
