End Phase:



“Goddamn it, Janos!” Rebecca growled into the comms as the Ostroc staggered under the impact of a Gauss Rifle hit. The shot penetrated his ‘Mech’s thin rear armor and shattered against the heavier front plating. Shrapnel tore apart Myomer and the ‘Mech’s skeleton. Rebecca’s white-knuckled hands squeezed her controls like a vice as she waited for the computer to update the Ostroc’s status.

She breathed a quiet sigh of relief when it updated, no major damage, the Ostroc’s armament was undiminished. “Corporal, you’re one of the best ‘Mechwarriors I know and you’ve got the the worst battlefield awareness I’ve ever seen! Pay attention!”

“Yes, mom!” Janos replied dutifully, his cheerfulness undiminished by the direct hit. “Speaking of, that Hermes is back up. It—Rebecca! They’re all headed right for you!”

She cursed to herself as the trio of enemy light ‘Mechs moved to surround her. It wasn’t a position they could hold for long, her firepower and greater weight would be too decisive, but for now—she was pinned and isolated. She scowled darkly as the fast-hobbling Hermes zipped by, her attention focusing on the crippled Raven.

“It’s like a buffet,” she broadcast, “which of the wolves should I skin first?”
