Re: EVENT: Simulation Day: Bravo Team (Day T-1, Afternoon, S

The Battle starts almost immediately, the mechs having 'deployed' within engagement range. The two mechs standing sentry were easy targets, and peaceful little valley was immediately lit with the roar of missiles and the crack of lasers ionizing the air.

As Felicity in her phoenix settled down , she saw a PPC blast, like a tightly bound cylinder of lightning, flash by her cockpit, a shot from the Grand Dragon going wide, and then felt the pod shake and rumble as the corresponding volley of Long range missiles slammed into the center of her mech, flaying away armor in shards of molten metal. (CT hit, 5 damage) Only her sudden twist to fire had stopped the volley from slamming directly into the armor that shrouded the cockpit (1 Edge spent to re-roll head hit into CT hit, 1 CT damage.) Squeezing her triggers as she bracketed the Jenner, she saw it lance the two lasers from it's left arm at her, one of them vaporizing a trail of armor from her mech's shoulder. (LT hit, 5 damage) Her own PPC ripped past the Jenner, missing by scant yards, as did the first volley of SRMs, but the second pair slammed into the Jenner, one in the right leg, and the other in the torso, each knocking away shards of broken armor. (Hit CT+RL, 2 Damage each)

Immediately twisting his mech, after shooting at the Phoenix, Yuri stabbed both of his medium lasers at the Stinger that had landed in the nearby woods, a reflexive shot, one missing wide, but the other scraping down the left torso and melting away most of the armor in a gaping slash. (LT hit, 5 damage) The Stinger, piloted by Freja, returned fire with two medium lasers of her own, but, perhaps still adjusting to the simulator, both went wide, igniting trees in the distance.

The Jenner, reeling from the hits, pivoted toward the slim shape of the Commando cresting the hill, and opened fire with its remaining pair of medium lasers, and the shoulder mounted missile rack, sending 4 warheads out on trails of flame. One laser went wide, as did all the missile, impacting on the ground in sprays of mud and grass, but one laser connected with the commando's left leg, melting armor off the limb in streaming rivulets of steel. (LL hit, 5 damage)

In return, the Commando pivoted, Andrea getting a positive lock, and letting loose a full volley of 10 missiles, a barrage which howled down from the hillside to carpet the Jenner, and the ground around it, in explosions. As the dust cleared, the sensors reported 5 positive hits, scattered about the target. (Hit LT+RL+CT+RT+LA, 2 damage each)

The thorn, still barely visible behind the hill, tried to tag the Jenner with its own lasers and missiles, but the shots went wide, thrown off by the sensor distortion caused by the sudden volleys of missiles, lasers, and particle cannons. Marik would have to adjust to fighting in a larger team with so much chaos, it seemed.

Kicking their mechs into motion, the two hostiles seemed intent on denying the team their early kill, the Jenner dashing for cover while the Dragon kept a stable firing position, guns blazing.

Players -
Phoenix loses 6 CT armor, 5 LT armor -- 4 excess heat
Commando loses 5 LL armor -- 0 excess heat
Stinger loses 5 LT armor -- 1 excess heat
Thorn undamaged -- 0 excess heat

"Tsk." Felicity reeled as her simulator took her for a bumpy ride due to all the impacts. The enemy were good shots.

With a flick of a switch she opened her comms channel again to the impromptu lance. "Careful, that Dragon pilot is a sniper. Andrea, nice shooting. Let's keep up the pressure."

Felicity flicked it off before opening the throttle to move forward. Guiding the mech with her mind, helping it avoid the trees and burst out of the woods, she ran ahead down the hills and further. She wanted a clear line of sight on the annoying Jenner. Maybe this time she could put her primary weapon system to good use.

(Moving forward to 1514, turning to face 1613. Firing at the Jenner, PPC first and then one SRM2.)

Looks like he'd have to adjust. But that Dragoon - that was going to be an issue. Such a mech was an interesting beast, it seemed, but it hadn't advanced far - he spotted his ally in the forest, and decided to give it some cover.

Seeing as she started moving towards the Jenner he opened fire on the Dragooon, making a note of how many salvos he'd used.

"Acknowledged."

(Movement - Running to 110, Then firing both lasers and a missile salvo at the Jenner at 1506.)

Andrea smiles behind her helmet, « Vaincre ou mourir » She hit her comms, "I am moving past you KBB, its more damaged side is facing us. Shall we end the dance?" As the mechwarrior smoke she pushed the Commando full speed again, racing down the hill before making a tight turn before getting to the next hill. Seeing her enemy full on before her, Andrea triggered the SRMs and Medium Laser.

Freja didn't like getting hit, especially in a light mech; and she was clearly outmatched by the Dragon, so she jumped out of harms way, toward another forested patch from where she'd have a shot at the other enemy mech.

(Jumping to 1209 (5mp?), facing dragon, firing both lasers at dragon)

Even as the Jenner looped around the squat building with a large blue sign on the front 'DMV', the bravo team was closing in, four mechs running and flying in on pillars of flame, landing across the hillside and forest perimeter, and blazing away with almost every gun they had.

Speed was life, for a Jenner, and it helped this one escape the worst of it, but it couldn't dodge it all. Pivoting, it snapped a rushed shot with it's two left lasers, the pod swiveling and firing a pair of emerald beams with a loud crack - one went wide, and the other lightly glanced the diminutive commando on the leg, taking off a shard of armor. (Glancing hit to RL, 2 damage). Then came the response, as the Commando opened fire with every weapon it had, 10 more missiles and a medium laser lancing out at the running Jenner, and though most of it went wide, smashing the windows of the DMV and scoring a large rut into the parking lot, 3 missiles connected. (Hit LT+RT+LT, 2 damage each)

Before those armor shards even hit the ground, another volley of fire from the Thorn bracketed the mech, but again went wide. Perhaps it was the uneven ground, or the trees. Marik wasn't having his best day on the shooting range.

That stroke of luck for the Jenner was followed by misfortune, however, as the antique Phoenx, whose model was a little bit blockier than the others, having been hastily programmed in to the simulator, given the original software hadn't included such an obscure and ancient model, lanced the Jenner in the left leg with its particle projection cannon, a rippling beam of lightning tearing way armor plating and ripping away chunks of myomer muscle and steel frame. The twin missiles fired after both missed, but the damage was already severe (Hit LL, 10 damage, critical hit Lower Leg, Leg Armor Gone)

While this happened, the Grand dragon snapped a shot at the only mech it could still see, the speeding Stinger, but the beam went wide as the small mech soared past, and the twin beams Freja fired in return glanced off its right leg, taking a small cloud of vaporized armor with it. (glancing hit, RL, 2 damage)

Seemingly goaded into action, the Grand Dragon stomped forward, entering the edge of the forest and weaving through the trees, while the Jenner kept running, now limping and trying to get out of the center of the enemy formation.

Re: EVENT: Simulation Day: Bravo Team (Day T-1, Afternoon, S

"Scored a hit, left leg. Focus the left leg!" Felicity calls out with more urgency as she starts getting into the combat more. "It's falling back - I'm repositioning!"

Pivoting her mech left, turning and taking a few steps she ignited her jump jets once more. This time she sailed back to the woods she had been in earlier. She knew the clearing to land in after all. Only after stabilizing her landing did she raise her mech's right arm to check the targeting data being displayed on both enemies. Whichever was the easier shot she adjusted to followed swiftly by squeezing the trigger.

(Jumping to 1011, facing 1111. Firing PPC at whichever is the easier shot. If the same, then the Jenner.)

Freja saw an opening... which was then closed by the Jenner. Rats. Upset, she moved the stinger to the north-east, putting the building between herself and the dragon, before taking two shots at the jenner.

(Walking to 1706 and turning to face the jenner, or running if that is required. Then taking 2 shots at the jenner)

Andrea remains focused on the Jenner. Her Commando dashing up through the forest to put building between her and the Dragon. Again she unloads her weapons into the enemy.

-----

Turn then run straight to 1606

Fire both SRMs and ML again at Jenner

There was only one thing to do, really.
