Event: Dawn of the Dragon (Day 5, EM)

[Comstar]

As the Black Dragon mechs reached the edge of the tarmac, weapons fire erupted, both sides taking ranging shots and trying to land long shots. The Spider, vaulting into the air, fired a beam which arced wide over the crab, while the twin panthers leapt forward to gain ground, both firing their PPCs uselessly at the distant defenders. The Dragon zeroed in on the Falcon as it leapt in to position to support Bruun, firing a string of autocannon shells and missiles which detonated among the trees.

The Phoenix Hawk sent an azure beam arcing past the Crab, but so far, no luck. The Jagermech, realzing it was a target, tracked the leaping phoenix, firing with all four gun barrels, massive shells raining onto the pavement as tracers left vivid lines across the vision of the pilots in the pre-dawn light. Most of the shells went wide, but one caught hte chest of the phoenix as it landed, shattering away chunks of armor. (Hit LT, 5 damage)

Yuri leveled the PPC of the Grand Dragon for a shot at one of the Jenners, but his shot grounded itself in the side of the massive hangar the squat mech was using for cover. 8 of the LRMs which volloyed from the chest of the Grand Dragon on trails of flame connected, however, rocking the enemy back. (Hit LT+RT, 5+3 damage) The retaliatory shot from the Phoenix went high, missing the Jagermech, but from the south, a pair of Azure beams whippid out, one scoring a long gash down the leg of the anti-air sniper (Hit RL, 8 damage)

Bruun got a positive lock, but saw his missiles impact along the hangar as well, to no effect, while Marik, holding steady, fired twin azure beams at the lead Jenner to no avail. Ryougi bounded forward in the Falcon, but her own snub-nosed PPC dispersed harmlessly into the air, instead of her target.

The enemy pressed forward aggressively, eager for a fight, the command lance arriving near the edge of the Tarmac now, a massive mech lumbering into view. The target recognition computers beeped, giving alerts.

Target Identified -- Wolverine -- Medium Brawler. Blackjack -- Medium Sniper. Dragon -- Heavy Brawler. Battlemaster -- Assault Brawler - heavy energy armament - highly dangerous at medium range.

[Maja Eklund]

Realising that she was a little exposed and awkwardly just sitting in front of three enemy mechs, Maja gunned her jets back as the wyvern seemed to leak back and fly in reverse, although still spitting lasers and missiles as it went.

“I am not liking the look of their reinforcements. We are out of our guns “

((Jump jet to 2205* and then another round of large laser and LRM are on the close Jenner.))

[Snorri Tycho]

"They winged you there Fee." Snorri calls over the comms, seeing the warning as his wing gets tagged. "Let's see if I can get some payback for you. Wanna get to cover?" Snorri is secured in the heavy woods as cover as he lines up a shot with the Hussar's laser, aiming at the Jenner that had rushed to the ledge, the beam flashing out.

"I'm eyeing a vacation South soon. Don't tell me that you don't want to see this in a Speedo" He jokes, the banter with the catgirl a comfort.

Staying still
Firing LL at Jenner at 1505 (Medium Range)

[Felicity]

"Minor hits left side. That Jagermech's pilot is a good shot. I'll pull back after this. Switching target to the furthest Jenner."

Felicity jumped again. This time she was properly in range of an enemy mech. She opened fire on the slower Jenner.

(Jump to 1608 facing NW. Firing PPC and then SRMs at Jenner#1 on 1204, unless the other Jenner is an easier shot.)

[Dorgan Bruun]

"Vanguard, concentrate fire on that Dragon as possible. We'll give them one good round of fun before we start drawing back."

Walking
Forward to 1015, face 0915
Fire LRM, all ML at Dragon

[Andrea DeTroyes]

Andrea retreated as the enemy closed, firing her LLs as she moved back toward the building. "Looks like they are fanning out, Lance Leader. We have an assault mech incoming."

------------------------
Backing up to 0418, facing 0318, and firing LLs at the Dragon.

[Comstar]

As the hostiles pressed forward, the Fortunate Ones flexed, the line meeting the enemy in a harsh exchange of fire, the Black Dragon forces unloading everything they had.

The back and forth split east and south, as planned.

The eastern volley saw beams of energy arcing back and forth between the two forces, Yuri's Grand Dragon took an emerald beam and a quartet of SRMs from the 2nd Jenner (Hit LA+LA+RL+LA+RT, 5+2+2+2+2 damage) but in turn Yuri fired a volley directly into the first Jenner, 6 missiles slammed into the mech (Hit LT+LA, 5+1 damage).

The Phoenix, bounding forward, landed a solid hit into the Jenner immediately afterward, the PPC shearing away armor and then tearing the entire left torso away. (Hit LT, 10 Damage, LT destroyed, 4 damage transfer to CT)

The Jagermech turned back toward the south, main guns blazing, it tapped the Ostsol with some glancing blows (Hit LA+CT, 1+2 damage) The the remaining fire roared past, mostly harmless from both sides, apart from a Large laser from the Ostsol which glanced off the Dragon. (Hit RT, 8 Damage)

Feel bold, the Dragons continued the pressure, and proximity alarms blared as a pair of Aerospace fighters roared overhead, coming in from the east - the Shilone weaving to line up a shot on a Sholigar light fighter. The two craft flying a tight flat scissors, jockeying for position for a clean shot.

[Maja Eklund]

“Ach. That Jenner is looking sore, I think we should keep firing until he is not walking home.”
Maja continues her retreat via jump her as the wyvern continues its long range fire on the wounded Jenner

((Jump to 2407, LRM and Large laser on the wounded Jenner))

[Snorri Tycho]

"Willow, I know you're a popular lady, but you really seem to have their attention." Snorri races up a hillside, gaining more high ground and finding a patch of woods. "I'll help."

He fires at the damaged Jenner

Running to 2512
Shooting Jenner #1 with LL

[Andrea DeTroyes]

"Moving into the wood line, firing at the Dragon." Andrea sent a report to Bruun and then turned and moved into the woods. Turning back around she lined up a shot on the Dragon. « Mort le dragon ! »

She grinned and pushed the firing studs.

---------------------------------
Move to 0319, turn to face 0318

Fire both LLs at the Dragon advancing on the lance.
