Part 728: Rabbit Warren - Turn 11

Rabbit Warren Update 11

“There’s something strange about this,” Pete Fisher brought his Legion to a stop. “If the enemy has some sort of underground ferry system, they could have simply evacuated with it and collapsed the tunnel behind them. We’d never have known how they escaped, only that they’d abandoned the base entirely.”

Pete loved puzzles of all sorts. Physical ones, intellectual ones, they were all the same to him. This one didn’t make sense. Even with the Legion deploying immediately, it had still taken hours to reach the mine. That was enough time for an evacuation—the small fry could’ve occupied them for a while while key personnel and research was removed. So why hadn’t the Society done it?

“They underestimated us, that’s all.” Came Syd’s immediate answer. “They thought we’d be easy prey.”

Pete shook his head. It couldn’t be that simple. “I don’t like to assume our enemy is less intelligent than we are. We’ve lost three BattleMechs and—” he blinked in sudden revelation, “they’ve lost nothing of long-term value. They’re collecting combat data. Ours, their own small fry, everything. They’re iterating.”

“I think you mean ‘irritating,’” Syd growled. “You’re getting there yourself.”

“No,” Pete pressed. “They’re studying us—like we’re test subjects. Watching what we do, how we do it, and learning what it takes to break us. This is bad—we need to win quickly or leave.”
