An electrifying jolt of fear arrives from your pilot.
“The tracks. Oh, I’m so stupid. Why did I take us on the road? Stupid, stupid pilot.”
“Pilot? Elaborate?”
She takes a deep breath.
“It doesn’t matter. We’re heavy. This road is not for walkers. Do the math. Makes potholes, which are bad for vehicles. Especially a plow.”

“Oh no. Those vehicles are going to be stuck while someone comes back to get them.”

>Engage, clear them all. The ‘civilian’, if it is that, will be left in a flipped vehicle, unable to call for help.>Settle in to just wait it out. Stall your schedule until the convoy moves again. At least it will let you probably finally pin down exactly what model of combat vehicles you’re dealing with.>Slip away. Perhaps slightly risky, but it does get you moving. And you can engage if you’re spotted, anyways. As long as being spotted doesn’t result in an accelerated bit of metal passing through your frame first.>Write-in.>Defer to your pilot. She'll think it through. Have a little faith.A/N

In the vein of Hasbro truck carrying smaller Hasbro trucks
