“Boyington and Antonin are both in full retreat, it seems, trying to buy themselves a little respite for damage assessment; but Ken Hachiman is having none of that. You can color me surprised, Cal—” Duncan Fischer turned, then shrugged to find his co-commentator still missing. “—but Ken’s really surprised me this fight. There’re a lot of people who would’ve called the Catapult under-armored and under-gunned for a match like this, but he’s been running his opponents through the ringer all match and he’s not easing up one bit. Y’know, I’ve always said there’s nothing more dangerous than a Kurita `Mechwarrior with nothing to lose, and Ken’s certainly proving me right.”
