Part 721: Rabbit Warren - Turn 4

Rabbit Warren Update 4

Most of the Rim World Army considered the Legion to be without pride. Most of the Rim World Army had also never seen more than a dozen people in the towns and villages where they’d grown up in the sparsely populated Rim World Republic. While the Legion had willingly chosen to let themselves become the instruments of Stefan Amaris VII’s will, they were still first and foremost Mechwarriors, which meant they were just as competitive as any elite unit, even if they didn’t acknowledge individual credit for kills. Wars were a team effort, after all, it hardly mattered who could stamp the most ‘Mech silhouettes next to their cockpit glass.

The Legion’s competitions were nearly always ones of positioning: who could take the most ideal position first, and who could best turn a less-than-ideal position into an asset. This time, it was Diana Mendez’s chance to shine. While the others jockeyed for ideal positions from which to storm the mine entrances, Diana had lingered and waited—and sure enough a surviving enemy battle tractor came rumbling up behind, trying to flank the others. They even got a hasty shot off when her heavy BattleMech landed right next to them, scoring the armor protecting her right arm.

With an almost clinical neatness she tore the little combat vehicle in half with her ‘Mech’s taloned feet, spilling the corpses of its two-man crew onto Circe’s hard-packed earth.
