Part 683: Snake Pit - Turn 11

Snake Pit 11

“Ah, damn,” Chinpira Watanabe cursed as the manlike Wyvern launched itself into the air. Its jets carried it up and back, until it vanished behind an office building. It hadn’t gone unscathed, a geyser of water rose between the splayed fingers of the arm it’d left laying in the street. The fallen limb had burst a hydrant, and was deflecting most of the spray into corner square.

“We finally found a smart one,” Saiko “Abramov” muttered bitterly. She sounded injured, and it took an effort of will for Chou Watanabe not to ask after her health. She didn’t need to be outed as a Yakuza princess in the middle of battle. Besides which, he told himself, she seemed more angry that her Roughneck was too slow to pursue than she was about the angry orange pockmark in her transplex canopy. The Clanner’s laser hadn’t penetrated, but it must have come damn close. “I thought all these horsemen had their brains surgically removed.”

“Not all of them, it seems,” Watanabe twisted. With his BattleMech’s thumb he sketched the hiragana for ‘comical’ in the air in front of the Quickdraw’s chest. Haragei wasn’t always so literal, but BattleMechs couldn’t make facial expressions. Yet.

“Kono manuke gaki me!” Saiko roared, “get after him before he calls all the Horses in the city down on our heads!”
