Second only to the Dire Wolf in durability, Star Captain Nasrullah’s Kingfisher shook like jar of pennies in a rock tumbler. Even an Omnimech couldn’t weather such abuse for long, and his diagnostics board flashed from green to yellow in places as components shook loose. One of the lights even flashed red for a moment as the DI Computer registered a hit to internals, but then toggled back to yellow when it concluded no significant damage had been dealt. Nasrullah pivoted at the ankles, bringing his left arm in line with the Kurita Thug. His shot blasted armor from the ancient, slab-shaped `Mech, staggering it momentarily.

With the utter calm of a warrior who had accepted his inevitable death, he pressed his right-arm autocannon against the torso of the enemy Spider and squeezed the trigger. The tiny `Mech ceased to exist, its right arm spiraling away as his autocannon tore it apart. The Spider toppled and fell, its dome-shaped head flopping about to smash itself like a melon against the black asphalt roads.

A flash of amber light filled his cockpit as an enemy laser scored the transplex. Nasrullah didn’t flinch from the heat, even when his skin began to blister and crack. His `Mech pivoted slowly, blackened and broken yet still deadly, to watch the Kuritan `Mechwarriors back away.

He barely noticed the buildings beside him collapse.
