Part 12: Kell Hounds: Cylene - Turn 2

Kell Hounds: Cylene Tactical Update 2

Combat Results:
Shooting happens simultaneously, incidentally. The team that wins initiative moves last, to better exploit the enemy’s position.
No Shots Fired



“Blake’s Blood, these things are fast!” St. Croix cursed as one of the J. Edgars launched itself towards her at a breakneck pace; its hoverskirt ejecting dust and detritus into the air. Taking a shot at the little bastard was going to be tough. “They must’ve seen me after all, sir!”

“It’ll be trouble if they punch past us,” Desmond grumbled into the comms. He wasn’t much further than St. Croix. “They could track us back to the dropships, and then the Ninth would still know exactly where we are!”

Thank you for that stunning tactical assessment, Mechwarrior,” Lieutenant Barnes growled. “What’re you waiting for? Are you going to shoot the snakes, or throw a party for their tactical acumen?”

Desmond grinned, “Fuck you too, sir,” he laughed into the comms. “I don’t speak Japanese.”

“I do,” Yoshita added helpfully, his voice a merry falsetto sing-song. “I would offer to translate, Lieutenant, but I think my lasers have more useful things to say.”

“Har har,” Barnes faked, “Do any of you jokers have an inside line on the Curry ‘Mechs?”

A chorus of negatives was the only possible reply.
