“Locust,” Salah called, identifying enemy ‘Mechs as his own sailed through the air. A full flight of missiles screamed from their tubes at a target Inari couldn’t see. “Phoenix Hawk, Panther, Locust.”

“Javelin,” Inari added, taking a potshot at the distant Phoenix Hawk. Her shot narrowly missed the barrel of the Phoenix Hawk’s large laser when the Hawk’s pilot shifted and took a shot of his own at Elias’ Jackrabbit. “Maintain TarDis—”

“Locust down,” Nioclas interrupted, his tones cold as a Locust’s modest supply of highly-reactive machine gun ammo blew it apart from the inside.

“MyTar!” Salah growled, “You—”

“Salah,” Inari interrupted, trying not to let exasperation creep into her voice. Her freeborn troops were problematic—they played harder and faster with the rules than she was accustomed, yet each took his or her honor extremely seriously, since none would have much opportunity to gain any. In the few short weeks she’d known them, she’d found her Star to be extremely touchy about kills—even in the simulator. “Your codex is to be commended for your excellent scouting—”

“Zell is already broken,” Elias’ calm voice interrupted, “They focus me.”

“Sea Foxes,” Inari cut in, “Let us show these chalcas bandits what we can do!”
