“Put me back on with the snake!” Barnes called. Desmond would’ve smacked himself in the forehead if he hadn’t needed both hands to guide his ‘mech. Also, he’d probably have broken his hand on the thickly armored neurohelmet resting on his head and shoulders.

He kicked down hard on his ‘Mech’s floor pedals, tripping the pressure-bar that activated the Blackjack’s jump jets and, with careful precision, leaned his ‘Mech backwards to sail over a small copse of trees and into some better cover.

“You’re not going to accept—” St. Croix began, but Barnes cut her off. “Damned right I am. It keeps the stupid meatball Drac’s attention on me and off the rest of you. The last thing I want is him taking potshots at your rear armor while you deal with his friends. Now—pull back a bit, and let them come to us. And get me on the channel with that damned—”

“You’re on, sir,” St. Croix called.

“Tai-i Robinson, or whatever your name was. I accept your challenge on behalf of the Kell Hounds.” To illustrate his point, Barnes popped off a salvo from his shoulder-mounted LRM rack. It missed low by a good ten meters, peppering a rockslide with explosions. Robinson had already moved well away from that position, but responded in kind.

“So,” the DCMS Captain replied, “we are fighting the ‘legendary’ Kell Hounds. That is good to know.”

Desmond sighed into the mic. St. Croix grumbled, “Goddamn it, L-T!”
