Fingers of agony clawed their way through Tjris Amirault’s brain as his Gargoyle’s automatic ejection system fired him up and away from its toppling corpse. He squeezed his eyes shut, squinting to focus his thoughts on a single point of light and fought the feedback-induced nausea still rattling around his skull. He retched as the seizures subsided, barely noticing that at some point his parachute had carried him back to solid ground. The heat of the distant fires created a fierce draft at ground level, sucking his parachute towards the raging inferno—and Tjris along with it.
His right side still paralyzed like the victim of an intense stroke, Tjris fought more fiercely to free himself from his parachute than he ever had before. His fingers fumbled, numb and unresponsive, with his command chair’s safety straps. It twisted and fell over as he freed himself from it, then vanished into the cloud of angry red smoke. He paid it no more thought, rising to legs made wobbly and uncertain with agony. His right hand clutched at the hilt of his laser pistol, seizing with the ferocity of a man trying to tear the head from a venomous snake. Mad eyes swept the battlefield with a fury, and Tjris dropped to one knee again to steady himself as he lined up a pistol shot at the Awesome’s cockpit. At this range, it couldn’t hurt the massive `Mech.
But it could distract the pilot.
