Part 703: Aeaea - Turn 4

Aeaea 4

“Did we confuse them?”

That had been Lt. Faustina. Serena had only met the woman briefly—the Wolverine Mechwarriors were often secretive, and Marduk had kept her well clear of them on the week-long trip to and from the jump point. It was unfortunate, she realized in retrospect, she could rattle off Faustina’s serial number—SN998462-W—but didn’t know the woman’s face. The Wolverines didn’t much care for the Republic’s combat coordinators. They prided themselves on independence and good judgement, so a biological Command & Control director like Serena was nearly anathema to them.

It wasn’t her place to change their minds. The injector implant in the back of her neck carefully monitored her brain’s chemistry, releasing trace stimulants and suppressants to keep her mind operating for days if need-be while dulling her emotions. Fear she still felt, distantly. The Republic considered fear one of the healthy emotions, but the suppressants would never let it build to full-blown terror. Other emotions were harder to name, they were a mix of eddies that still suggested courses of action but couldn’t overpower her conscious, rational mind.

“The Clan force is taking up a raiding stance, they will attempt harass us and take our measure. Clan Assault BattleArmor will likely reappear in ten seconds,” she could still hear traces of emotion in her voice. To anyone without the coordinator implant she knew the subtlety would be completely lost. She didn’t have a good mental picture of the battlefield yet—and she didn’t fully understand the Clan psyche—but the only reason they would delay is if they were preparing to evacuate or, “Expect a full frontal assault to be launched in twenty to thirty seconds.”
