“It’s not the Varangian, sir,” his scouts radioed as their dusky jeep zipped past. “It’s that one again.”

“Kisama,” Gunnbjorn hissed through his teeth in a way he knew his headset wouldn’t pick up. He knew precisely which ‘Mech his scouts referred: a massive, bulky unit painted a striking black and red which had been in every fight since Clan Widowmaker’s initial assault. Agaki blamed that ‘Mech for the slaughter of Hachi Batallion, it had outflanked them backed only by a single lance of 'Mechs. His troops had been thrown in disarray by the sudden attack from the rear, and hadn't realized until too late just how small the flanking force really was.

That ‘Mech had dogged his retreat ever since; always seemed to know precisely what Agaki would do and have something in place to counter. “Kisama,” he roared into an open channel, “You will not find us so easy prey. You nip at our heels like wolves, well we of the 13th Rasalhague, Bane of the Lyrans, know how wolves should be put down! Come, kisama, come and die!”

“I am Star Colonel Joshua,” The crackle of a response startled him; until now the Widowmakers’ advance had been silent. No honor challenges, no exclamations of anger or frustration, just terrifying brutality. “You have lost, Colonel, but I am not unmerciful: surrender your forces, and you will be allowed to live in peace, as members of the laborer caste.”

“Colonel, the last time Rasalhague gave up; our great people were made the slaves of the Draconis Combine. If we are to be made slaves of another, we will make you pay hell for the privilege.” Agaki spat, then severed the connection.
