You Absolutely never leave a squadmate hanging on a hi20. I think that's in the pilot's handbook somewhere. And as convenient as it would be to destroy a bunch of sitting Ducks, our job is to hit the station's main defenses so the fleet can drop in without getting savaged by the omnigun. Once that's taken care of then we can go as loud as we like.

Interesting fact I recently learned: the 'big iron' used by Texas rangers was so huge because it was originally designed to be used by cavalry, with the holsters attached to the saddle. It was never intended to be hung on your hip.

Auxiliary Command just called it, Furious Dawn has no survivors. Pull the casket and get back here, this is someone else’s problem now.” Okafor opens her mouth to reply when the comm is drowned out by pops and static. Several lights on the NHP interface light up. ”Qu*pop*een?” “Ah…” Okafor consults the ship’s manifest quickly and continues. ”BOUDICA, is that you? Can you hear me?

You look up from feverishly re-wiring Baby’s reactor interface to see a rock spire woosh past entirely too close. ”Haoyi’s fists! Eyes on the sky mon ami! Billy Sue isn’t going to get rescued if we end up smeared across the landscape!” Ana Mae’s apology is snatched away by the wind, but Sparkleberry’s flight levels out. On your screen, the Badlands opens up and you see it:  A Harrison Armory HA-7 Hypervelocity Material Transport, well, nearly 4 kilometers worth of them. All nav-slaved to the lead vehicle, hell-bent for the skyhook launcher at Dry Ditch. The Appaloosa shifts course slightly, to intercept. The comm crackles again. “Ah sugar? I’m getting lit up here with tracking radar, I think they’re a bit pissed with us.” “Drop below 1-5-0, we’ll get lost in ground return at this range." You can hear her hesitance in the silent comm. The joy of babysitting civilians. ”You’ve got this belle, just breathe.” The frame loses altitude, kicking up dust in its wake. The convoy grows larger, and with a triumphant shout you get a green indicator on the flow converter. Closing the hatch, you sit down and start strapping in. ”Ok hun, we’re a minute out. Which one do you want me to land on?” Last strap secured, you start flipping power switches. “None of them mon ami. You’re going to get over top just long enough for me to drop out and then you’re back to a safe distance.” “What? At this speed-” “No arguments. This is what you’re paying me for, I’m aiming to bring both of Mama Pearl’s girls back to her tonight.” Muttered curses come over the comm, but she brings Sparkleberry along the convoy’s course. You kick the emergency release and your in free-fall, Baby’s much-abused reactor spinning up. IPS-N ZHENG MASTER CONTROL posted:*Core Power: ONLINE Baby squeals across the top of a transport, and you manage to dig into the roof just shy of the edge. Leveraging yourself over the edge, you get the frame upright on the transport’s mech-sized running board.  Baby-PC3867570 You wait a few moments to adjust to the motion, and begin to hop from transport to transport, making your way to the lead. If Billy Sue is anywhere, its there. (Baby Agility Check: 15, Success) You quickly make your way forward, the handful of defensive guns that manage to lock on bounce off of Baby’s armor. About a half-klick back from the lead, your comm clicks and a holo forms in the slipstream in front of you. A thin man in a business suit, struggling to keep the annoyance off his face:  ”Mother. Fucker! What the hell is your problem man?! There’s less than ten thousand yokes trying to farm on this mudball, HA is willing to relocate all of them to Purview worlds and provide comfortable lives. This moon is worth ten times more as a exotic elements mine, why can’t you people just take a good deal?” You grit your teeth. ”Comfortable lives, oui? At least as long as Union is looking. Or until profit margins decrease, vrai?” “Fuuuuck. I should have recognized that stupid-rear end accent of yours. Ciocelle scum holding onto grudges. Fine! You want to do this? Let’s do this!” The holo blinks out, and ahead the sides and top of one of the transports blow off, revealing a large bit of cargo:  SilAn: Bombard-class, Threat Level-Elite ”It pays to have friends in R&D.

His plan is to make enough manna and connections ta stage a Mirrorsmoke ‘intervention’ in tha whole Ciocelle/Estrella situation. Okafor was bounced from pilot training for political reasons, so she returned ta her career as a deep-space rescue medtech.

Currently tha Marquesa de Cinder-Glass is on safari on Sparr, hunting tha enormous creatures known as The Vast. Safar is currently in medical hibernation, as surgeons and medtechs debate how to fix his shattered body.

You’re in motion before Jacobin can finish his taunting, trying to close the distance. But after a few hops you can tell you’re not going to make it in time, the Bombard’s maglauncher already nearing full charge. With one eye on the tell-tale arcing from the launcher’s tip, you reach out and latch onto an infantry bunker sticking out of the top of the transport. The armature’s grapple-fingers sink into the metal, and with the barest whisper of protest Baby’s augmented motivators rip the hunk of metal loose. You see the triple-arc flare on the launcher, and you toss your improvised cover in front of you. (HA/AT B04-X Attack vs Evasion: 1, Failure.) (Baby Hull Check vs Earthshaker Shell: 11, Success) The massive hypervelocity round hits square on the twisted metal before you, vaporizing it and nearly knocking Baby over with the concussion. But you keep her upright, and are once again on the move. On the last transport before the Bombard you slide off the front low, keeping the bulk of the frame between you and its defensive chaingun. You trigger the reactor valve, sending hot plasma coursing through the channels in Baby’s right armature. Once again the motivators spin up and unleash burning hot metal at the Bombard’s leg. (Baby Barrage Attack vs Evasion: 18, Success [8 damage, 1/6 self-heat]) (Baby Barrage Attack vs Evasion: 11, Success [2 damage]) (HA/AT B04-X Structure Check: 3, 6 [System Damage: Bombard Cannon]) The one-two combo sends shrapnel flying around the Bombard’s undercarriage, shredding the maglauncher’s cyro-coolant lines. You’re about to press your advantage when the larger frame’s geometry changes ever-so-slightly, bringing you within the firing arc of the chaingun. (HA/AT B04-X Attack vs Evasion: 10, Success [3 damage, Kock-back3]) The impacts, while mostly absorbed by Baby’s armor, send you careening backwards, imbedding your frame into the front of the following transport. The vehicle beneath your mech groans worryingly, the chaingun weakening an already stressed drivetrain. An open comm pops in the cockpit. “God. Dammit! Listen you cretinous fuckwad, you don’t want to die on this shitball any more than I do. So why don’t you just take the cut that was offered to you, and then I don’t have to vent my reactor onto you. How does that sound?” You eye Baby’s status board, green but battered. And who knows when you’ll get to proper facilities. You toggle the comm. ”Mon ami? Are you familiar with the Bodhisattva of Broken Noses’ First Wisdom?” You key Baby’s reactor safeties, overcharging her systems. Warning chimes sound, but you ignore them. ”First Wisdom? What the gently caress are you on about?” Once again you’re in motion, kicking off the transport's surface and hitting the Bombard’s leg mid-leap. Grapple-points try and find purchase in the seams of the frame’s armor. (Baby Overcharge-Grapple vs Evasion: 15, Success [4/6 self-heat) Grip obtained, you redline Baby’s motivators. Slowly, ponderously, the Bombard loses contact with the platform. You hear Jacobin’s panicked squawking over the comm, but you ignore it in favor of keeping Baby’s strength from ripping herself apart. Putting all your own strength against the controls, you get Baby turning. Just before you hit the optimal angle, you focus back on the open comm. ” ‘Remember, the ground is like God’s own loving fist. Why bloody your own knuckles on some gently caress when you can make them eat poo poo instead?’ Thus Haoyi Mei spoke her first wisdom.” With an armature-bending force, you heave the Bombard backwards off the side of the platform. It makes it nearly 20 meters before it hits the ground at speed, turning it into a twisted ball of wreckage and flame. Sic Semper AssholuCPXw_e5%mvcR;iNV2<VXMaFLuLdZ9W,*OL/woii1[k`w{5(FZ^\"IEh5L~S+R9m,***WARNINGTHREADINSTABLITYDETECTEDRESETRESETRESET***!Cjat+&C72;&/\sPI\DN|vTi2a6g,QavH,8Y}N0pK7!*aQ\x!oj{^1vv>2gT]kE$TGMa3fLq ”DID you honestly think I wouldn’t FIGURE out your trick with the IFF codes? I’ve nearly finished LOCKING PERSISTENCE out of the station systems, enjoy YOUR last moments of freedom.” You roll your eyes at the comm indicator, and turn your attention back to the tacfeed. You, Gawain, and Clutch have found a bit of cover at the base of the Omnigun emplacement, waiting for Nimrod to finish her sweep. And speak of the devil… ”Heyya, its ya bestgurl! Gots a Sniper-pattern up high, and 2-3 squads of subalts scattered around the base.” Her face goes serious. ”And ya bestgurl’s noticed some weirds with that thing. Several deviations from both the HORUS pattern and what was detailed in HOUSEKEEPING’s report. It might not mean anything, but Al, uh, ya bestgurl though it best ta report it.” You look over the new info on the tacfeed. You’ve got enough to blow the power feed for the emplacement, but Nimrod is your resident HORUS weirdo. She might be onto something. A: Quick Explosions Nimrod and Clutch have enough ordinance to blow the power feeds quickly B: Extreme Explosions Give Clutch time to spool up the Apocalypse Rail. No kill like overkill C: Additional Investigation Your cover isn’t quite blown, take some time to do further scans to try and put Nimrod’s concerns to rest.
