Bobby’s ‘Mech rocked under him, and his cockpit was filled with the sound of groaning steel as the Zhukov’s heavy autocannons breached his armor. He was in real trouble, but… well, this wouldn’t be the first Skinwalker he’d lost, and that Cataphract would do nicely as a replacement, provided they all lived.
There was a flash as the Warhammer’s PPCs discharged, Bobby cringed… then checked his sensors. He hadn’t been watching the Liao hot-hammer. He cringed, Engine Joe had just taken a hit to the head.
“Yo, Joe!” Cortez called over the comms, “You dead, man?”
“F-fuck you, Cortez,” Engine Joe spat. “Life support’s out… but I’m not dead yet. Let’s—”
“Holy SHIT!” Clueless’ hunchback flailed, its arms and legs on fire. “They’ve got inferno rockets! What the hell do I do?!”
“Pull back,” Divot called, “and wait out the heat before they set off your ammo or something!”
