“Bugs have been squashed,” Elfrede announced, the staccato of her chainguns blending into a noise that sounded more like tearing fabric than the yammer of a machinegun. Nioclas grunted a similar report a moment later, but Inari tuned it out as Elias’ Jackrabbit crested a rise.
“Mechwarrior Elias, what do you think you are do—” she began, then cringed as the Panther’s PPC caught the Jackrabbit square in the back. The beam’s ravening energies burned away the Jackrabbit’s minimal armor protection, then sputtered out in an instant as the Jackrabbit’s large laser cored the PPC’s capacitor. Inari bit her lip, stifling an angry reply—Elias had just eliminated the enemy’s most powerful weapon, but her anger grew as his own ‘Mech collapsed, right arm tumbling away into the treeline.
“Stravag!” she cursed. The Jackrabbit was half of her star’s long-range firepower, losing it would be a far greater cost than the resources required to build another. “Freebirths, pay attention to what—”
Salah’s Jenner crossed through her crosshairs, firing away with his SRMs as he ran. “Look out!” she shouted as the white corkscrew contrails of SRMs burst from the hedges beneath the enemy Phoenix Hawk. Armored glass flew as one of the missiles struck the Jenner’s cockpit. It crumpled like a rag doll, landing so heavily on its left arm that Inari would be shocked if it hadn’t suffered some frame or actuator damage.
Enraged, she dropped her crosshairs over both enemy ‘Mechs and left fly, her pulse lasers chewing deeply into the Phoenix Hawk’s torso even as her large laser struck the enemy Panther square in the chest. Another hit like that, and she’d finish it.
“EnInf advancing,” she growled into the comms. “Elfrede, Nioclas—would either of you care to give them a quick death?”
