Louw Bouman danced backwards as a trio of Grasshoppers leapt towards him. Even damaged as he was he’d have considered his Clan-modified Cyclops a match for a single heavy `Mech; but three was two too many. His thumb hovered over the toggle Wilberforce had told him to press only in emergencies. Did this qualify? Perhaps not.
He toggled the switch anyway.
His caseless autocannon roared as he squeezed the trigger, and he walked a visible stream of fire down the front of the nearest Grasshopper as though he were a riot policeman with a fire hose. The Grasshopper staggered, but didn’t fall.
“Wilberforce,” he broadcast, “are you in position?”
“Aff, I have been for some time. Your infantry are efficient,” there was no approval in the terse voice, only pain. “The Dropships have been swept clean of Draconis Suns troops. We wait only upon you.”
“Not my call,” Louw replied, grimacing as he prepared to weather the Grasshoppers’ counter fire. They turned away, laser beams darting out at something behind them. The rearmost crumpled as something huge and deadly smashed into it from behind, its left leg spinning away as the impact sheered clean through structural titanium. Its seventy-ton body flew a half-dozen meters through the air in a graceless pirouette, arms flailing about like a discarded doll.
Transplex shattered as it hit the ground face first, the blackened grimacing skull-face of Tjris Amirault’s massive Sohei looming above it. The Grasshopper’s counter-fire had taken its toll, but the `Mech was still deadly. Still more than ready to fight and kill.
“Your brother’s insane,” Louw said, admiration tainting his surprise.
“Yes,” Wilberforce agreed. “He is Clan.”
