Part 435: King of the Pirates - Turn 5

King of the Pirates: Tactical Update 5

The azure whip of a PPC flashed past Susie’s cockpit. The harsh, actinic flare set her machine’s painted skull-mask aglow for an instant. The Battle Cobra twisted, arms raised menacingly. The left was still blackened and torn where Susie had shot off the original. The replacement had been taken from a ruined Guillotine and heavily modified on the pirates’ nearly year-long trek across the Inner Sphere. Susie had been surprised how well the Battle Cobra’s alien computers had integrated some of the dodgy components. The machine hadn’t lost any mobility, or been overbalanced by the bulky additions hastily welded to the least-damaged structural frames.

“Dead Eyes,” she glowered, “you do realize that I’m never going to let you live-down missing that building, don’t you?”

“The building,” Dead Eyes’ voice was emotionless. Broken. “Right.”
