Heat spiked in Anong’s cockpit as she feathered her jets for a landing so soft she had to check one of her secondary monitors to make sure she’d really touched down. The new New Syrtis design she’d originally taken as an Enforcer strode towards her with the arrogant swagger she’d long associated with the Capellan March’s Mechwarriors. Its arms rose in her direction, weapons dark and threatening—but it turned away at the last moment, the enemy’s disgust for Confederation pilots overridden by abject hatred of an enemy that’d brought ruin to this world.
The autocannon in the machine’s right arm roared as it peppered the bulbous enemy `Mech with tiny explosives. Thick gouts of smoke rose from pinholes in the Taurian `Mech’s ceramet armor, suggesting some of those munitions had struck more deeply then they should’ve. Anong’s own fire was only marginally effective, her attention too focused on keeping track of the Griffin and the Not-Quite-An-Enforcer. She could probably take them in her current condition, but if one of them snuck into her rear arc and found the hole in her armor she had no doubts the treacherous Duchy Mechwarriors would take the shot.
“I would give much for the aid of another survivor from the Battalion,” she said mostly to herself, “to turn the odds in our favor.”
“There are none,” was Otaktay’s stoic reply. “Make plans only with what we now have—and make peace with your ancestors. We will not be leaving this planet alive.”
She smiled darkly as her SRMs, confused by the strong electromagnetic interference, somehow managed to completely avoid the enemy Talos. She wasn’t ready to lie down and die for Madame Chancellor just yet, not until she’d made the Taurians pay for stranding her here.
“I mean to prove you wrong.”
Otaktay only grunted in reply.
************************************************************************
“Goddamn,” Anne cursed as four flights of missiles crossed the dozen-meter expanse between her Firebee and her target. One went ballistic the moment it left the launcher but most of her missiles struck the Toro directly only to glanced off without exploding as their detonators failed. At least one struck the target square in the chest with the flash-and-bang of exploding propellants, but it too failed to detonate. She shook her head in exasperation. The Toro ignored her, firing twin flights of LRMs at Troy’s vulnerable Raven. Most of his missiles even exploded when they hit the target! It wasn’t fair.
“Munitions,” she said darkly, “have gone to shit since we pulled out of the AFFS.”
“I think you mean the AFDS,” her husband corrected automatically. He sounded distracted and Anne cringed to see his `Mech hadn’t moved so much as a centimeter. She strode forward, dodging the Toro’s hasty punch and driving her Firebee’s heel into the back of the Toro’s left knee. All it took was a small push and the enemy `Mech’s crippled leg gave way and sent it tumbling down the hill into the river below.
“Did your electrical systems short out or something?” Anne taunted her husband, trying to spur him into action. “Don’t just stand there squinting like a Capellan! When we get back to base, you’re going to see the Doc about getting some damned glasses.”
“I do not need glasses,” Dorian said a bit too quickly. “I just had a little something in my eye!”
“Was it a little bullshit?” Anne replied, “because it sounds like a little bullshit to me!”
“Mommy, daddy, please don’t fight,” Troy teased as his Raven leapt through the air in an attempt to deliver a flying kick to the Cicada. The enemy pilot was too canny for the maneuver and simply ducked beneath the blow on its bizarre doubly-articulated legs. “I don’t think our family can survive this battle with you two arguing like this; much less the divorce proceedings that’ll come after.”
“Sergeant,” they shouted in unison, “shut the hell up!”
