”White move to 1511 and engage the Phoenix Hawk. I’ll move to screen you as best I can. I’ll stay closer to him and hope he ignores you. Hang in there and we’ll get out of this yet.”

As his ally, no at this point White was his lancemate no matter what the higher ups might think, moved to the indicated coordinates Zeke headed to 0110. He knew he was taking another huge risk by moving so slowly but, hell, he’d survived going toe-to-toe with the Hawk so fortune was smiling on him today and White wouldn’t survive any more pounding. Besides the way he’d been shooting, and missing, making his mech a more stable firing platform could only help.

Seeing the larger mechs up on the hills in the distance, David decides to give them something to think about. Igniting his jump jets, we wobbles his way through the air into the woods just behind the enemy Hermes 2S, thinking to himself, "Man, I've got to get that jump jet replaced."

Seeing his lancemate jumping toward the enemy emplacement, and seeing the Phoenix Hawk staring down at him, Armbuster elects to both clear out and help his lance mate. Stomping down both feet, he lifts into the air and guides his Stinger over the lake into the woods at the far side. Landing with a flex to the Spider's knees, he lines up to provide supporting fire in case the enemy circles around to the Spider's rear.

The phoenix hawk melts away the armor on orloff commandos right arm exposing the wires and endo steel inside when suddenly the blackjacks autocannon strikes it blowing it off.

David, worrying a bit with the Hermes turning toward him, holds his panic in check and fires a single medium laser, in an attempt to moderate the heat rising into his cockpit. The Spider's laser fires off target as his leg is partially melted by the Hermes' laser. Armbuster's Stinger fires it's medium laser at the Hermes, also to no effect.

Dagger opens the inter-unit comm channel. "Orloff, run to coordinates zero, one, zero, six and prepare to make an assault on that sniper's nest. I'll approach from the south, on the bounce, and we can pinch them between us. All remaining 'Mechs, pair up and prepare to make a run on that hill."

"White, I'm going to move to 0504. Head to 0506. When we engage again try to maneuver so you can jump behind one of those big suckers and light them up with those flamers of yours."

No longer sweating, Zeke pushes his Wasp to top speed. If he was going to die today he wasn't going to do it afraid.
