Deunan will kick in her thrusters to leap into the air, shifting into Tank mode so she can use her main gun on the Pods. She lines up a MPAT on two of the ones firing at Alan.

Alissa guns the mecha’s engine, bringing her hover tank into the fray. She had been distracted in rear-guard. Her team depends on her just as she does them. She can’t let them down.

Alissa continues her charge in tank mode straight at the dug-in position of the Battle Pods.

"Kerensky engaging!" She lines up her shot on the move and fires an MPAT round.

Bump for D. Rex

 

[D. Rex]

These battlepods thought they were clever hiding behind cover. Let's see thow they like this. His chosen shell was already loading as his mecha folded into its tank mode. The plasma rounds were no joke, he probably wouldnt dare use them if it wasnt raining.

He lomed up his shot at the battlepods taking cover, and fired the plasma shell at them. If he couldn't kill them, he would at least try and smoke them out.

[Psychie]

The plasma shell hits the armor plate between you and the pods, blasting it in to bits.

This exposes the two damaged pods to Neo, and she takes full advantage of the opportunity to fire her own cannon. Her MPAT round rips through the paper thin armor and causes them both to explode.

There are now only three left. Rykon is up.

[Rykon]

Alan shifts his Spartas into battloid mode and fires a burst from the EU-11 at pod 3.

 

[Psychie]

The nimble Pod leaps up to get out of the way, but Alan is able to track on it with your targeting computer and scores a solid hit.

Battle Pod 3 fires back at Alan.

Battle Pods 4-5 both target Neo. She manages to jet her tank out of the way.

Sherwood is up, and Rykon has a defense to declare of either a dodge or a parry.

[Sherwood]

Seeing that there is now a damaged Pod out in the open, Deunan loads a Sabot round and lets it fly.

Spoiler

That comes out to 140 MD on the damaged Pod,, and it's quite dead now.

Deunan's shot rips through the damaged armor of the Battle Pod and kills it decisively.

At the same time, Alan is able to parry the shot, taking 40 MDC on his arm shield.

[Psychie]

With your well placed shot, Marlon manages to hit the last two Battle Pods, and they both burst into flames and collapse in a heap, their pilots dead.

Neo makes the comment, "Well, if we needed proof that we are on the right path, I guess that was it. Is everyone ok?"

 

[D. Rex]

Marlon let out a breath and looked over the wreckage to make sure they were dead. Everything seemed in the clear. "Aye, it does seem that way. I have no damage to report. Alan? Sergeant?" He asked, recalling that they had taken a hit.

 

[Sherwood]

Deunan lets out a sigh. "Good shooting, everyone. Minor damage to the tank's torso, nothing to worry about yet. Alan? I can see that you have gotten your paint scraped up a bit. You ok over there?"

 

[Rykon]

Alan turns on his radio, "Some scuffs on the left shield but a pretty hard hit to torso. Systems don't show major damage though. Should be just surface damage that we can repair when we have the time."

 

[Sherwood]

Deunan switches her Spartas back to its transport mode. "Sounds like a plan. Lets move on. We can handle some light damage, and we still have a job to do."

 

[Psychie]

With the rough ground ahead, it is a good thing that you have your hover tanks, because a traditional ground vehicle would have a very hard time getting through. As it is, you are moving at about half your top speed as you advance. The one good thing is that the rain has finally come to a stop, but the mud is still everywhere.

About an hour later, you come to a large clearing where it is plain that one of the Zentraedi Reentry Ships had landed to off-load the ground forces. The trail has now come to an end. Still, you have your orders, and you are a Recon team, so you continue on into the heart of the Zone.

Two days have now gone by, and at the moment, you are paused for a lunch break. While you eat your MREs, a laser cannon fires off in the distance, sending a massive energy beam overhead! Neo jumps to her feet with a start. "That was no mecha! That cannon is waaaay too big to be anything else besides a starship energy weapon!"

A second goes by, and you can hear on your radios several panicked voices. "This is Tiger Eye Three! One of our escort Valkyries was just vaporized by a large scale energy discharge!"

While you scramble for your tanks, the energy beam fires again. "Valkyrie Two is gone! Tiger Eye Three is taking evasive action! Mayday! Mayd-" The signal cuts off as the heavy weapon fires again.

 

[Sherwood]

Deunan stares up at the sight of the heavy laser going off with her mouth hanging open. "Ho-ly shit! Starship scale weapons are not supposed to be that accurate to hit such a small target like a Valkyrie!" Then she suddenly has an epiphany. "Oh my God. The targeting systems from the convoy! It has to be. They're using our own tech to shoot down our own people! That's why the Zentraedi snatched the technicians! They used them to rig up the targeting systems to their big guns."

"We have got to shut down those weapons, or the Zentraedi will be able to deny this airspace to any aircraft we have. Neo! Get on the horn to Anton-17 and tell them where we are, and that we are going to make a run to locate those guns and blow them all to hell. Third Heavy, lets move out! We have to be close to the origin point of those beams. Just track them down and call in the artillery! Easy peasy!"
