Samantha clawed her way back into her command chair, trying to get her feet under her. The effort of it nearly made her vomit, but she wasn’t about to die here. Not like this! Her Zeus flailed wildly as she tried to rise to her feet, then overbalanced and toppled; slamming her left arm and torso into the ground with another crushing impact. Implacable and cyclopean, the Clan ‘Mech seemed to stare down at her with contempt.

“A good effort, quineg?” someone said, “But my patience is limited. If you are not able stand then victory will be mine.”
