You hear over the open channel a voice angry but with a hint of fear
Merc scum, that's right we identified you now, you are never getting off of this planet no matter what happens here. Give up now and you will be treated fairly.
undaunted the locust tries to stand again and once again falls on its left torso.
Gene activates Tricksie's jump jets and jumps into the heavy woods hex at 1212, facing hex 1113 when he lands. When the 'Mech touches down, he opens his comms and replies to the Locust pilots challenge...
"That's a generous offer friend. But the way I see it, you're outnumbered two to one. We could have finished you and your friend in the Wasp a long time ago, but we "scum" haven't done that. Now, why don't you tell your two remaining lance mates to pick you up and we'll let you withdraw from the field. All we want is those heat sinks and to salvage those two 'Mechs we downed. No need for you to lose more men and ordinance in this fight."
Moving at a walk, David approaches the downed Locust with his Spider. Standing over his foe, he prepares to fire at any approaching mechs knowing he can instead blast the collapsed mech if it remains his only target.
Move 2 hexes SE, 1 hex NE, then 2 hexes north, and end in Hex 1209, facing Hex 1109
Eugene activates his comm in reply. "Near as I can tell, we're just facing half a light BattleMech lance- unless you're hiding an Atlas under that hill over there. Nah... I think you guys are just feeling a little butt-hurt about getting your asses handed to you by a bunch of mercs."
As if it was a personal vendetta the enemy stinger takes off at a sprint in the direction Shadow jumps and comes to a stop just beside him as the young mech warrior lands.
e1-(no move)
e2-(move 7 to 1211)
e3-out
e4-(run 7 to 1008)
Just need Ivans move and we can move to fire phase.

His blood up Zeke radios: ”Let’s just finish the off. We gave them a chance to be smart and they didn’t take it.”
"Roger that, Shadow. We tried to play nice, but if they want to play hardball, that's fine by me. All units engage the Stinger at coordinates 1008. Hunt to kill! I repeat, hunt to kill!"

Focusing fire on the Stinger per the Lieutnant's orders, David unloads with both medium lasers at close range. His first laser burns through the armor on the Stringers right arm and chews into the mech's hand actuator. His second shot though spells the end of the Stinger as it melts through the armor on the doomed mech's head and drills directly into the cockpit. With a grimace on his face, he turns the Spider to look down at the nearly helpless Locust on the ground while radioing the lieutnant, "Good call Dagger, but that Stinger's toast. Want me to stomp this one into the dirt?"
As the shot goes horribly wide Zeke opens his comm again. "Last warning shot warrior. You and your lance fought bravely but there's no dishonor in recognizing that you've lost. Surrender now and we'll let the two of you still on your feet withdraw in your mechs. The others we'll claim as rightful salvage, of course but half a loaf is better than none. What do you say?"
Spectre's laser drills right through the ballistic glass into the stingers cockpit. The mechwarrior inside never saw it coming and had no chance to eject. The Stinger freezes in place, arm cocked back to throw a punch, as the control computers are fried.
NOOOOOOOOO NED, YOU BASTARDS YOU MURDERING BASTARDS. I'M GOING TO LET THEM KNOW AND THEY WILL KILL ALL OF YOU.
Physical attack phase. Spectre can kick the downed locust.
Laying on ground is same hit chart as front facing.
After disintegrating the cockpit of the Stinger Spectre lifts up the spiders foot and stomps on the chest of the locust laying in front of him. What little framework was left holding the engine together is crushed and the engine shatters into pieces as the mech goes dead.
