Part 669: Konpei Island - Turn 14

Konpei Island Update 14

Sumiko’s head pounded with the thunderous pressure of her own beating heart. Seconds stretched into hours as she waited for each life-affirming beat. Colors, vague and shapeless, swirled through her vision. The long, slender serpents writhing and slithering in front of her slowly resolved themselves to be her arms, hanging numbly from the restraint straps, a scant few centimeters from touching the armored Transplex canopy of her Hatamoto-Chi. She barely felt where the command couch’s restraints dug into her hips and shoulders, she was too fascinated watching a bead of sweat roll down her right arm and into the sweatband of her leather piloting glove.

She couldn’t remember where she’d gotten that glove, or why, but she knew it was important. A sweaty palm could slip on a control at a crucial instant, but a properly-fitted glove would never have that problem. A familiar fog welled up in front of her but it took her several seconds to remember she could move her arms, and longer still to reach up and open the visor on her NeuroHelmet. With the cockpit’s life support systems offline, her own breath had been enough to steam up the inside of her helmet. Now if only she could figure out why she couldn’t turn her head.

She’d been fighting, that much she remembered. The particulars eluded her, but the view through the cockpit glass was little help. A flat expanse of ferrocrete was all that awaited her, featureless save for some white reflective lines painted on to aid navigation. The distant rumble of Thunder convinced her it would be best to stay where she was for the time being, none of the cockpit controls responded to her desultory efforts to convince her BattleMech to stand up. Even the damage diagnostic monitors refused to power up, but what that meant exactly was presently beyond her comprehension.
