“Sergeant Major, what’s your sta—”
Mao’s gloved fist slammed down on the top of her secondary monitor as Commander Osei’s voice was lost to static. Her Enfield lurched as a lucky hit nearly jammed the `Mech’s gyro with shrapnel. She staggered, her shots going wild. It didn’t matter, a flight of missiles from the Taurian tank struck the enemy Huron Warrior in the chest. Its outline on the thermals seemed to explode although the view through the front canopy was a little more disappointing. The missiles had knocked some engine shielding loose, or perhaps crippled some heat sinks. Typical of Capellan workmanship.
“The Capellans attacked us,” she said, thumbing the transmit button. “The Taurians have backed off.”
“I was hoping they’d join us, but to hell with them,” Commander Osei said in reply. “We can’t afford to lose either of you. Pull out, Sergeant Major.”
“Yeah, sure,” Mao’s eyes narrowed as she stared at the treacherous enemy Wolverine. “We’ll get right on that.”
************************************************************************
The crackle of the radio cut through the angry haze that’d fallen over Lieutenant Bellard’s mind. The Phoenix danced backwards, its pilot evading every shot he fired only to taunt him with a flight of missiles. He was badly out of position and he knew it, but he wanted to watch that `Mech burn.
Commander Osei’s strong voice filled his ears, “Lieutenant Bellard. Our scouts have detected another Taurian lance heading your way. Withdraw for now, we can’t afford to lose any `Mechs.”
“Aye, sir,” Bellard’s left eyebrow twitched involuntarily, his face contorting into an inhuman grimace. His reply was mechanical, apathetic. “Laguerre’s crippled. Sommers overheating. They’re faster. Can’t break free.”
“Lost Anne.”
“I’m sorry, Dorian. Follow the plan and the rest of you should make it. We’ve planted some vibrabombs on your planned exit vector and if they’re stupid enough to follow you into the woods our surviving infantry will make short work of them. Save what you can, we’ll hit them back for this.”
“Aye, sir,” he switched back to lance-level comms. “India Recon, new orders. We’re bugging out.”
