in the early hours of 12/31/61, Norrbotten lance was issued the command from Ranger HQ to go out and cause some ruckus.
Breaking off into dedicated pairs and the C3 net broken for the time being, Smyth declared "Rank hath privileges" and reconfigured his Sunder to its normal complement of the LBX20, but swapped its normal laser array out for ones of Clan manufacture - the machine running slightly hotter but nothing unmanageable.
pairing off with Dan Pope in his Warhammer IIC, they found and cornered a Kraken in a bombed out industrial district. Leaving the Warhammer outside on overwatch, Smyth took the Sunder inside and found the Kraken setting up a retrograde ambush. The Kraken unleashed all 10 of its autocannons, holding down the triggers and sanding off a significant amount of armor, but the return fire of laser and autocannon made the Kraken falter, and decided to retrograde into further into the complex. There, rushing in and getting in a few quality hits, and a fortitous autocannon pellet blowing an arm clean off, further sanding of the armor made Jhef realized he had without realizing it, destroyed the head of the Kraken, as it fell to the ground, pilotless.
Scouting around a bit inside the cavern to secure the area, he found a pristine Star League era Rifleman II - it was later determined to be assigned to the 741st Royal Striker Regiment, Echo Company.
(GM: Is this Birons machine as it was customized during AR or was it restored to stock?)
