Wrenching himself free of the rear hatch of his once-mighty Assault Vehicle, Star Captain Wilberforce collapsed in paroxysms of coughing as his lungs struggled to expel air tainted with toxic smoke. He retched, body quaking in agony as he struggled to drag himself clear of the blackening wreck. Strong arms seized him by the shoulders, dragging him bodily across the tarmac. He tried to stand but collapsed again as another coughing fit tore his throat as raw as a ravenous Hell Horse.

With an effort of stubborn will he raised his head as his rescuer plunged back into the smoke. Her skin was an angry red, her cooling vest and neurohelmet scorched and blackened by soot. With a monumental effort, she pulled Wilberforce’s gunner from the burning hulk and turned as if to make a third run.

The Mars vanished as the bulk of its ammo cooked off, blowing a twelve meter crater in the tarmac and sending all three of them tumbling across the hard, unforgiving ferrocrete.
