Physical Combat Phase:
End Phase:
The staccato bursts of SRM fire echoed loudly through the desolate streets of Tharkad even as the fog continued to rush back in to fill the massive void created by the refinery’s explosion. Leutnant Kiera Virgo’s Phoenix Hawk danced through the air at her expert command. It was the finest machine she’d ever had the privilege of piloting, a nearly mint design that had seen battle only twice in over two centuries of service. It was just a pity the heat sinks were so inefficient, but she knew that was a flaw that had always plagued the Phoenix Hawk design.
A ripple of explosions filled the office owned by Summer Industries—and owned indirectly by Duke Lestrade. The enemy Javelin—bearing the same markings of the force that had destroyed the Gray Death Legion no less—had turned away from its attackers to blast away at the inside of the office.
Kiera’s brow furrowed; unless there was something unusual about that building, it shouldn’t need to use SRMs to blast its way out. She came down behind it, on a rise that gave her as clear a vantage as she could find, and pumped kilojoules of energy into the back of the Javelin’s head. It staggered for an instant, and shifted out of her field of fire before her shot could finish it.
She cursed under her breath, working furiously to try to line up another shot. If the little Clan invader really was planning on making a back door for itself, it was in for one hell of a nasty surprise!
