The commander halted on his landing for a second to get better shots, blue and green lasers of his arm firing away, while the shoulder sent another missile flight into a high arc.
But they had committed the cardinal sin of standing still on the battlefield.
The crosshairs locked, her eye’s afterimages resolved into a single mass, another ear-splitting crack rang out, and the Griffin toppled over, a neat hole planted through its head.
A smile pulled across her face.
Still got it.
The twinge in her right arm was her warning, pain starting to nudge its way through the blocker she had taken. It was the neural interface’s way of telling her that damage was starting to mount.
The two circling lights broke off their attack, speeding up as they broke into straight-line sprints away and into cover. Losing half the lance, including their commander, in the opening volleys of an engagement was enough to make anyone nervous.
Her particle projectors tagged one of them, the Cricket, on the retreat, but it wasn’t enough to bring it down properly.
Hopefully they’d be gone, leaving to tell the tale, not regrouping to return.
“Nice work. Their Battle lance is four clicks out, and ours is eight. I’m assuming you don’t want to try and make the next performance a solo act, right after this one?”
“Come out and carry your weight, Caldwell. I’m not repeating that headshot four more times.”

A/N
Technically it was a Kick that smashed the leg off the ‘Strider’ (Locust), off, not a blade strike, but she did manage to headcap the otherwise untouched command Griffin very early on with her gauss. It was an exceedingly slim chance of that happening (1/36), but she somehow did and thus effectively solo’d half the recon lance without needing assistance and taking not much damage.
Now, onto interactive things.
Continuing to repair Delta, round 3.
