Sergeant Damaris Golde couldn’t have told you his own name past the haze of nausea and pain that shrouded his senses. He couldn’t have brought his Hermes’ fusion engine up to power; nor even delivered the code-phrase to unlock his `Mech’s computer. Vague forms moving beyond the edges of his vision like hungry sharks waiting to swallow him home. He knew more than simply pain, however.

Damaris Golde knew that his lancemates needed him. Wobbling wildly on its single leg, the Hermes’ gyro skipped again and again as her pilot’s head swam. Its weapons tracked wildly, seeking arms flailing to maintain balance.

The sharp tone of a lock-on filled Damaris’ ears for a few eternal seconds before his thumb speared the firing stud on his right joystick and triggered the Hermes’ primary interlock circuit. The bark of his autocannon filled his ears, each shell beginning with the metallic clang of a hammer on casing as the autocannon fired; the rush of air as the propellant burned; and the whistling as the now-empty five-sided rotary shell spat out of the back of the `Mech and spun through the air like an inattentive jogger throwing an empty water bottle over his shoulder.

The Coyote staggered as a slug caught it square in the back, then fell head first into the acidic waters of the lake as its gyro disintegrated.
