Part 682: Snake Pit - Turn 10

Snake Pit 10

“Woah, nice shot.” Noriko Al-Hazar spared a moment to twist her Spider’s thumb into a passable thumbs-up. The bulky prototype was responsive in the air, but its arms were more vestigial than most. The hands were fully capable of lifting things, but with only three articulated fingers she couldn’t perform some of the gestures her old SDR-5K could’ve managed with ease.

Robert Korean’s Roughneck was in even worse condition, his hands were claw-like pincers. They seemed to have excellent reaction time and good fine control, but they were utterly incapable of even the simplest gestures. The Roughneck’s cockpit was also fixed to the torso, a relative rarity for a humanoid design, which combined to make the heavy a rather difficult ‘Mech to read.

The Clan light tottered, its leg had been torn open by a direct hit from Robert’s Gauss Rifle. Noriko wasn’t about to waste an opportunity like that, she pitched the Spider’s torso forward and chewed through the last of the badly-damaged structural supports with her pulse lasers. The Clan ‘Mech’s leg snapped off mid-thigh. The pilot kept his or her feet for longer than Noriko would’ve expected before tumbling off the side of the parking garage.

She peered over after it, and was gratified to see it lying still.
