Part 569: Air Raid - Turn 10

Air Raid: Tactical Update 10

“Aahn, hell.” Icepick’s monotone wavered, a trace of emotion creeping into his too-calm voice. “There go my leg actuators, I’m as slow as an Atlas now. Boss. Bosses,” the man amended quickly, a trace of amusement creeping into his speech. “I don’t think I’m going to make it out, but I can use the smoke to my advantage. Act as a speed bump to keep the southern lance pinned down and prevent them from chasing you for a bit.”

“Absolutely not,” Duncan growled even as he smashed the Atlas’s right leg through the Nidhogg’s shin. The Clan machine tottered as its surprised pilot took a step back, but when she tried to rest her machine’s weight on the stump of a leg that no longer existed she lost her balance. The Nidhogg fell with a crash COOTS could feel through his boots, but he felt like cheering all the same: over half of the `Mechs with the white feathered paint had been removed from the battle. All by Duncan in the most brutal twenty seconds he’d ever born witness to. “Every one of us is walking off the field today.”

COOTS’s eyes settled on the last nearby target, a sharply-angled Lucerne. He knew from his wife’s constant intelligence monitoring that the Lucerne typically had an SRM rack on its shoulder. A few good shots to the back and he could cook off the machine’s ammo. It was one thing for an Atlas to prove why it would forever be the king of the battlefield, it was another for a light `Mech to take down a target over twice its weight. He grinned, his target practically sparkling as he rushed towards it.

His crosshairs pulsed as they fell on the machine’s back and his targeting computer locked on. The Gunsmith’s nimble arms came up, weapons converging on a point just below the boxy pod on the Lucerne’s shoulder. His fingers tightened on his joystick, and he glanced down as his thumb flipped up the catch to the nimble little light’s primary Target Interlock Circuit. When his eyes returned to the golden crosshairs hanging in the forward-portion of his circle-vision strip the Lucerne was nowhere in sight, his crosshairs hung over empty space.

It took COOTS a half-second to figure out what had happened, that the white blob behind him wasn’t simply a cloud on the horizon. The Lucerne had executed a graceful pirouette the instant COOTS had looked away, casually sidestepping the Gunsmith’s charge. It had practically danced around the lighter machine, using the Gunsmith’s speed against it. COOTS cringed, twisted, bringing up an arm like a duelist in a “Black Eagle”—Marik produced—western. Like most of the desperados in those films, he was already too late. The Lucerne’s pulse lasers opened up the Atlas’s back like a maniac with a hatchet.

He fired, his pulse lasers strobing as he tried to deter the bigger `Mech, but without seeming to spare the Gunsmith any mind the Lucerne’s boxy foot smashed into the machine’s right calf. From foot to hip, the Gunsmith’s armor plating shattered like a cheap glass window being struck by a brick. Unlike most armor, which reinforced their ceramics with steel, the laser-reflective armor the Gunsmith sported was laced with mirrored Transplexiglass—the very same transplex that armored all `Mech cockpits. Unlike Ceramet and Ferro-Fibrous armors which could bend to absorb some of the force of a blow, Reflec didn’t give. The Lucerne’s foot carried through as if it’d found no resistance at all, sheering off the Gunsmith’s right foot and torqueing the leg so hard that the hip actuator bent and twisted out of alignment. Detecting the damage, sensors in the leg triggered the capacitors for the emergency myomer bundles, pulling the leg straight and locking the knee so the Gunsmith could still use the crippled limb as a makeshift crutch. COOTS tottered, fighting his controls.

“Hell nothing, they’re trying to cripple us,” COOTS spat. “They want to take us alive!”

“Why anyone would want you is a mystery to me,” IRIS’s reply seemed cold, but Robert could hear the worry in his wife’s voice.

“Cut the banter,” Ronin cut in, he’d been silent for so long COOTS had almost forgotten the man was in the fight too. “We’ve got a big problem! Something’s been nagging at me, so I chased a hunch—I’m picking up forty objects that might be large assault rifles, and another forty that have to be jump packs. I thought they’d be in the trees, but I think those big Jump Infantrymen did a run around the backside of the mountain! They’re at the base of the upward ramp, perfectly positioned to block our escape! We’ll have to go point blank to have any hope of getting a shot off!”
