Come get some (D15 EE Sims)

[Felicity]

The whole pod had rocked. Most of one of the LRM volleys had landed across the mech. "Yea, but armour is still good."

This time Felicity stayed where she was, getting another solid hit on the fast approaching Hunchback now moving across open ground. As soon as it was in SRM range she fired everything before jumping away. Good thing she did as it blew apart the tree beside where she had been standing. To her surprise her mech shudders in mid-air as the Catapult landed more LRM hits on her mid flight. Gritting her teeth, she pulled back a bit further to really encourage the Hunchback to come finish her.

"That Cat's really digging in. I hope you can get a good hit on that hunchy soon. He looks like he has dreams of being a can opener."

[Felicity]

"Yes, but the terrain is bad for him and good for me. Watch."

Felicity made her move when the Hunchback was closer again. She headed North and East, dropping into the low ground beside the river. This broke line of sight to the Hunchback. Felicity immediately sent the Griffin forward into a run, covering the open ground of the riverbank much faster than the other medium mech would once it waded through the trees. She was gunning for the Catapult!

Firing a shot off at it, the heavy mech returned fire with LRMs at medium range before jumping away to increase the distance. It was just what Felicity wanted. She endured the next barrage of LRM hits, worse than before, as she continued to close with it. The Hunchback was falling further behind now. As soon as she could she jumped in closer to the Catapult to start hitting it with SRMs. The C1 model fired medium lasers at her in response, but the majority missed. The simulator had definitely been running the pilot as more of a sniper than a brawler. Her mech's superior speed and mobility would see her get behind it soon and start smashing it's rear armour...

"Not bad, not bad. That is a lot of trying to outmaneuver each other with jump jets I am seeing," he commented while he watched the two mechs dance around each other jump jets blazing.

Felicity focused on the fight rather than reply. She was landing far more hits at this close range. She was also getting hot. Very hot. She had to fire her PPC only intermittently as it was the worst culprit for heat. However, the way it could hit easily even at point blank was wonderful.

A few times she got behind the Catapult, hitting it with scores of SRMs. She missed a kick while the Catapult struggled to get away, it's missile gun arms failing to threaten her at this range. A solid hit from her PPC into its back as it tried to run back to the approaching Hunchback opened up the center rear torso armour. She ran after it, firing SRMs and landing her next kick attempt. The heavy mech's back was wrecked, with deep penetrations of the vulnerable interior. It wasn't cored yet, but it seemed to have suffered engine damage. Her kick landed smack on the left arm, severing it entirely. To her delight the pilot failed to rise, falling over again with the sound of shearing metal and internal parts cracking. Likely a gyro hit.

She took a single medium laser hit from the Hunchback charging toward her. It was firing everything at her now. However, it was too late. She jumped back into the woods as the pilot of the Catapult punched out.

[Theodore Beker]

"Not bad," he leaned in to check the current mech statuses, "Your armour is starting to thin out." He noted that the hunchback was in a similar situation.

This'll be finished quickly.

[Felicity]

Felicity took her time to end the fight, but the result was set in stone because of her chosen strategy; she stayed out of range. The Hunchback lacked a means to catch up with her in the rough terrain, and it didn't have any long range weapons. The Griffin's ERPPC hammered it repeatedly until she cored it. The simulation ended without fanfare immediately after that.

[Theodore Beker]

"A bit like watching a cat play with a mouse at the end there," he chuckled as he realized what he had said, "So a good look on you."

[Felicity]

"Eehm, thank you. I suppose it was like that." Felicity responds a moment before severing the connection as she removed her neurohelmet. She soon popped out of the pod to have a quick drink of water. The middle part of the fight had been hot and bothersome.

"Not too bad si?"

[Theodore Beker]

"Not at all," he said watching her drain the bottle, "You want a towel before round 2?"
