Desmond kicked his ‘mech forward as the Spider sailed over his head. Spinning, Desmond flicked his control-sticks and his Blackjack’s torso screeched even as he came about. His crosshairs crossed the Spider’s vulnerable back as it landed and Desmond’s fingers instinctively closed on the trigger. The Kurita ‘mech’s laughable armor withered and ran under the assault.

Behind it, St. Croix’s Vulcan touched down in the woods, nearly impaling itself on a tree. Her own medium lasers joined Des and Yoshita’s assault on the Kurita light ‘mech. Desmond smiled, then frowned suddenly. “Wait, has anyone seen the—” St. Croix’s Vulcan staggered under the touch of the Hussar’s large laser; the heavy beam burning through her already damaged right torso. She staggered, but like the spider, didn’t fall.

She cursed into her headset. “Another hit like that and I’m in serious trouble,” Sandra cursed, “and that damned fast mover’s between us and the dropships!”
