"My mistake with Amaris was that I did not cut his legs out when he attempted to negotiate with me. Ones you cut a mans legs he, he must beg from hsi knees." Minoru Kurita, attributed statement by the Black Dragons, unverified
Cushion recieved a comm from Srgt Otsuka that a valuable mech had been discovered. Using the Omni technology, the C3 pod was quickly removed and replaced with the original small laser pod. Cushion then went out to meet Otsuka, and the discovered Lancelot mech. Otsuka got lucky penetrating the central armor of the phoenix hawk damaging the engine and gyro of the pixie. USing this to take the imitative, Foil lance used its superior mobility (and lucky grouping) to take a leg from the hunchback while taking a lit of damage themselves. They also used the building to split up the opfor mech, so that all three, or however many were up at the moment, could not all target the same mech.
While the medium mechs were put down, the Marauder continued to keep plonking away at the Black Hawk. In the decisive moment, Cushion and Otsuka both rushed in from the Marauder, having disabled the AC5, and engaged in a furious exchange of fire. The Black hawk took both an engine hit and lost a heat sink, while Marauder lost a leg and fell down.
In the end, Foil lance looked around, surveying the damage. With the Marauder unlikely to rise again (12 to stand, 1 leg lost and a lost torso/arm), the pixie unconscious and unlikely to stand (5 pilot hits, 12 to stand) and the Hunchback unable to stand having lost both its legs, Foil proceeded to leave the area with its spoils, but Otsuka was bemoaning the amount of work to repair the critical damage to both units.
GM Notes: Marauder taken and immediately sold as crippled. Locust and pilot released as not needed. Will update other threads as well.
