Still predatory despite its injuries, the Bobcat half ran, half leapt down the slope of the Caldera’s crumbling soil, kicking up rocks and shredding lichen with each step of its retrograde legs. Unlike many `Mechs with bird-like legs, the Bobcat didn’t bob and bounce like a chicken when it ran—through some quirk of its design perhaps, or simply the skill of its pilot, the Bobcat’s torso remained remarkably stable firing platform even as the `Mech smashed through the thin hardscrabble trees that still tried to grow in the Caldera’s rocky, acidic soil. The Bobcat’s parting shots blistered the armor on Andreou’s Cicada, and sent a shower of half-molten armor plating tumbling in low arcs before it vanished into the trees, its position easier to trace by the cloud of smoke leaking from its battered chest than from the vague shape moving through the heaviest woods.
