Part 694: Snake Pit - Turn 22

Snake Pit 22

“Shit!” Noriko Al-Hazar took a half-step backward and had to scramble to keep her experimental Spider on its feet. Too fast for the eye to clearly see, her computer painted a series of rapidly fading silver streaks across her hud as shot after shot missed her by less than a meter. The Clan leader’s shot had been a hasty one, but it was still far too close for Norkio’s comfort. In the young Arkab’s relatively short career, she’d only taken fire a handful of times—and never by a Gauss weapon.

“I didn’t think rapid-fire Gauss weapons were possible,” in spite of her better judgement, she took a second look and broadcast the clan King Crab-analogue’s approximate location. The barrels of its right-arm gauss weapon still tracked her, even while the left fired at a target down the street—likely the last Yakuza pilot. She didn’t hear any screams—that one was probably ok. A moment later, LRMs from—somewhere rained down on the pavement a few meters from the Clan pilot’s location. She wasn’t sure who was even carrying LRMs, but the indirect shots didn’t even phase “Oh—oh, that’s a lot of little barrels isn’t it? I don’t care how good a shot you are, that’s gotta spread like mayonnaise at long range.”
