While his starmates laughed, Hastur remained silent as he sat ensconced in his ferro-fiberous coffin. In his long career, he’d turned down more promotions than had been offered to the rest of Tjris’s trinary combined. Thrice he had been nominated for a bloodname, and the taciturn Mechwarrior had three times refused. At fifty-seven years old, he was so far past his prime he should have long-since been shuffled into a solamha unit; or even relegated to one of the Clan’s innumerable suicide infantry or tank units. He had been called dezegra, an anachronism, and worst of all un-Clan. If he cared one iota for the opinions of his inferiors, he had never let it show.
Mechwarrior Hastur was an enigma to the other members of his Clan, but the truth was he was precisely what and where he wanted to be.
He had been challenged of course, dozens of times. As he’d grown older, younger warriors had fought to unseat him; fought to claim a post he’d now held for thirty-seven years. He had yet to meet any who could match him, in single combat or otherwise. Hastur still admitted he was neither the best pilot, nor the best shot. He had met plenty of warriors who were his superior. They had all come and go, their skills waxing and then swiftly waning or disappearing entirely. Through it all, Hastur simply endured, surviving on his skill and experience.
His skill, his experience, and the unique brain chemesty upon which the Hell’s Horses had based their first generation of neural implants. Mechwarrior Hastur’s hands hadn’t touched his Rifleman’s controls in twenty years. The scientist caste still maintained it was an impossibility. The Mechwarriors of House Kurita had a word for it, the state of man and weapon as one. It was a state they prized, one that few warriors ever achieved for so much as a single battle.
It was a word Hastur had neither heard, nor would have cared to learn.
His Rifleman IIC’s computer sounded a lock-on tone. It was unnecessary, Hastur’s eyes didn’t so much as flick open. He was too busy interpreting a glut of information his `Mech’s sensors. He barely heard the announcements of his starmates, and utterly ignored the Inner Sphere barbarians he found himself fighting beside. Sapphire lances of laser light erupted one at a time from the barrels at the end of his Rifleman’s stumpy arms. Where most pilots would have fired them simultaneously, Hastur’s fire was as methodical as it was devastating. Each new burst of fire resumed a fraction of a second after the last ended, giving the cloud of molten armor that limned the Davion `Mech’s torso a moment to dissipate so the next pulsating blast could strike unabated. The Sunfire’s torso ran white hot, then collapsed an instant before the `Mech itself did as molten endo-steel flowed into its massive fusion engine.
