“Just like you lot,” you whispered as you settled yourself back down into your seat and aimed down the gunsights, “See a pinch of pepper, and you’ll eat a fistful of rat shit.”
>Tankettes us ability- Rapid Retreat
At the last moment, though, the tankettes noticed you- and sped backwards, your shell passing between them with a crack and a whirl of snow. Tricky, quick little buggers, you thought as you pulled your head away and followed them with the periscope, those tankettes could only be expected to have some perception, with how threatened a species they were on this battlefield. When you tried to line up another shot, an explosion of smoke in the gates. They were safe- for now.
“If that’s the way they want to play,” you muttered, and stood up through the hatch again. A hand was held skyward, and you gestured to the squad at the armory. The mortar shells began to rain- nobody would be hurrying to or through the gates now.
