Part 246: Jeronimo: Meltdown - Turn 2
Meltdown: Tactical Update 2Combat Phase
Fat and bulbous, a massive and unwieldy shape tottered out from behind the massive, slab-like bunker that housed the geothermal plant’s largest central turbines. Painted a flat black, it lacked the aggressive, fiery camouflage sported by Miranda’s old Incubus. Ho He frowned at the bulky design, at sausage-like arms ending in the barrels of autocannons and strangely exposed looming cockpit. It turned slowly with a gait that seemed more waddle than run. One of the stubby arms swung towards Ho He’s Banshee, the barrel black and forboding.
“Oh, that is not good! Where is your Stone Rhino, Tython Yeh?” Miranda mumbled softly somewhere behind Ho He’s head. A strong hand clamped down on the Death Commando’s shoulder. “We must come about,” Miranda hissed too quietly for the microphone she wore to pick up. “You are too small, he will know.”
Ho He could only nod, bringing her Banshee around as if to join the nearby Cyclops. With remarkable aplomb she dashed in front of the rapidly approaching Pillager, her Banshee’s feet dancing as the two `Mechs came within a half-meter of a brutal collision. The Pillager waved a massive fist in a threatening gesture as the pilot stopped the huge `Mech short.
The radio crackled, “The Surat eng, Quineg? Assun, unbid. Mytars.”
“Chalcas Bands!” Miranda growled in frustration, “Dutserv, vengecom or deahon!”
“Useless, Dutob. Engen? Aff, esc Charl-Yan-Charl-Lim-Five-Nine-Five. Chargen, screen. Dratar. Deahon? Neg.” Tython laughed with humorless cruelty, “That is beyond your abilities, Miranda. At least try to die with some dignity.”
