Part 362: Hastilude - Turn 8

Hastilude: Tactical Update 8



Dr. Sequord winced as Sir Ryden’s screams filled the comms. She didn’t envy the man, a near miss by even a small laser could be deadly enough but when transplex canopy gave way under a laser hit it was another animal entirely. The carbon-reinforced glass was nearly as hard as `Mech armor and cooled rapidly but even that wasn’t enough to save a pilot from being pelted with a hail of near-molten glass. Ryden’s neurohelmet would protect his face and neck, his cooling vest would protect his chest, but nothing protected a pilot’s arms and legs. If Ryden got lucky the transplex shrapnel wouldn’t even impair his piloting, although it’d almost certainly require surgery to completely remove and leave him badly scarred afterwards.

Statistically she knew concussions and burns were among the most common injury among long-time `Mechwarriors but your chances of even surviving a hit that took out your canopy weren’t good. She knew Ryden probably didn’t think so now but he was a very lucky man.
