“Woah, would you look at that!” Cal exclaimed, “A surprise play by Serge—”

“A brilliant play by Serge,” Duncan interrupted, drawing a look of surprise and ire from Cal. “In a single move, he’s completely bottled up the Centurion—sure, it’s not trapped; but it can’t break out without exposing itself to the Axman’s big gun! Antonin has to be cursing his unfortunate start position; his safe little cul-de-sac is now a deathtrap; and it doesn’t even provide enough coverage to let him back away from his current position without giving up a shot.”

Duncan’s calm, firm voice continued, “And I can already tell that Charles Boyington is disappointed. Did you see the way his Thunderbolt paused when he crested the ramp and didn’t encounter the Axman? The people of Skye are hungry for a victory over the Lyrans in Steiner Stadium; we’ll probably see a riot tonight if the two don’t get a chance to face off.”

He paused, then grinned at the holocam. “Then again, we’ll probably see a riot tonight if they do. And speaking of riots, today’s fight is brought to you by Quikscell-brand Heavy Tracked APC: because fancy names cost extra, and Quikscell goes the extra mile to save you money.”
