Part 726: Rabbit Warren - Turn 9

Rabbit Warren Update 9

“That’s coming out of your salary, Angel-4.”

“No it isn’t,” Elias Combs replied vocally. He hated speaking out loud, but there was no help for that. The compact UI of the Sin BattleArmor lacked the space for a chat readout. His combat computer beeped, plotting escape paths and marking possible hiding spaces—final suggestions garnered from the dying Legion BattleMech beneath him.

The enemy’s lasers had sliced into the cockpit dome, damaging sensors and nearly severing Elias’s interface. The safeties built into the design had kicked in, shunting his consciousness into the Sin’s less powerful computer systems to avoid dump shock—that is, the neurological stress from having one’s access to the powerful DI computer severed abruptly. Even Mechwarriors with standard neurohelmets were prone to headaches after abrupt shutdowns, but the direct wired connection the Legion used was even harder, physiologically. The decades of experiments that had created the modern buffers and signal shunts worked wonders, but Elias still felt a sense of loss. He’d been a ten meter tall metal god only moments before, and now?

The Sin’s right-arm vibroclaw hummed to life as Elias tore his way out of the Legion. His ‘Mech was still repairable, and it would take a dozen battles before they’d be forced to search for a local source for parts. The Society’s pilots had already turned away. A headshot was a kill, after all, so he could hardly blame them—but if they’d been a little less confident they might have caught him emerging and then it would’ve been all over.
