“Armor’s gone,” Zdenko Horvat reported in cheerful tones that belied the gravity of his announcement. He delivered the line with the same profound unconcern as a man on Sian discussing the weather on Terra. “They don’t look like much, but they hit damn hard. I can see why the snakes had so much trouble with them.”

“We’ll just have to kill them before they kill us,” Reece Collier replied. Her deep, masculine voice was never distinct over normal radio; but was perfectly clear now that the company had switched to laser-comms. Only really viable at close-range due to the slowness of the tracking systems, the Death Commandos’ laser-based communications net was a huge asset in a fight like this. It let them operate even amid the electronic interference the Clans seemed to generate almost as some sort of mid-battle ritual.

The heavy roaring of four massive jet engines overwhelmed Reece’s voice for a few moment as her microphones struggled to filter it out. The massive Clan jet VTOL screamed towards her position, banking as it came. The Gauss Rifle poking from the nose skewered her cockpit for a brief instant before the VTOL slewed out of position.

“Knock out the birds,” Terrance Williams ordered. “Then the beetles. After that, we’ll have a clear advantage over the `Mech forces on the field.”
