Part 729: Rabbit Warren - Turn 12

Rabbit Warren Update 12

“I thought the Clans were averse to physical combat?”

Samir Darby watched as one of the big Clan Assault ‘Mechs brought its metal club down onto the right shoulder of Syd Colbert’s Legion. The Legion’s weakened side armor shattered, and the Clanner’s club caromed off its engine housing. The Republic’s thin, aquamarine-colored coolant spurted for a few moments before automatic safeties disabled their feet system, depriving about half of the Legion’s engine heat sinks of vital coolant. The loss of Nephilim-1’s anti-personnel gauss rifles was the least of Syd’s concerns. The Legion kept to its feet, kicking the huge Clan ‘Mech in turn, but the Clanner’s reverse-jointed legs kept its knees out of easy kicking range.

“Clearly, one of the successor states has been teaching them.”

“Our entire order of battle is based on the idea that the Clans don’t willingly engage in melee combat,” Samir growled. “If that’s not true, we may actually be at a disadvantage!”
