A day in the life of a Firestarter...

05 July 2012 - 03:38 PM

Lt Docimi was moving west of the main force to make use of the forest, strike an outlying outpost and burn a path for the main force - in doing so draw out the enemy force entrenched to the northeast.

Moving swiftly though the patchy areas he made his way to the nav point sat intel had highlighted as a weakly defended area, some light vehicles, infantry and emplacements. Easy Pickings.

Lt Docimi "Raptor 1 - you boys back there awake? Need you on hand if intel has its eyes crossed again"

"Raptor 2 ready" "Raptor 3 ready" "Raptor 4, like they mix up light vehicles with a full lance like last week you mean? Man they cant manage that twice can they?

Lt Docimi "I certain hope not!... Coming up on Alpha, standby.

Intel had it right, 3 Gun emplacements, around 3 platoons hurrying to the emplacements and partial walling of the compound, 3 Saxons and a Marsden I moving into blockade the gap on side he approached. Some buildings on the right appeared to be fuel storage and generators behind. He smiled and knew what to do.

He cycled to the medium lasers and fired on the tanks, a flash of green and then white and orange as the tanks explode and engulf the infantry who foolishly stood too close and one of the saxons. His next salvo taking the Marsden out. The defenders now recovered from the shock of the fuel tanks and returned fire.
Machine gun fire and small lasers flurried at him. Switching to the four flamers he scorched a path to the barricades and moved at speed diagonally towards the outpost. Instantly giving him supression on the firing defenders and smoke cover as he approached.

Now he had moved vitually into the compound and positioned on the flanks of the barricades, "no cover for you..."

It took 15 seconds of fire and machine gun rattle to sweep the place clean, "all forces des--" - Boom!

He was cut off from reporting by SRMs striking the torso right next to the cockpit, the shock hit him like a hammer. Systems warnings blaring out as the offending Raven stepped out from one of the buildings. Turning to face the new target, Lt Docimi spotted behind the mech a second Raven but powered down, workers still repairing it.

"Raptor 1 here can I get you boys in here I got a light mech engaged."
"Raptor 2 we're on route after you got cut off, closing 800m"

The Raven brashly moved forward firing everything wildly, likely desperate to keeping his attention. He had other ideas. Ignoring the Raven he kicked up the throttle to full and charged into the nearby shack - likely a garrison block, firing his flamers as he went. Ploughing through leaving a mech shaped hole, smoke and flames, the Raven didnt know quite whether to follow or go around. This gave him vital time and opportunity. He now stood between the Raven and his powered down compadre. Levelling his torso with the prone target. Some survivers from the building behind him ran out an under him, one wearing a neurohelmet made a beeline for the target. "just not your day" A machine gun burst cut down the mechpilot, saving him time and saving the mech for salvage. Turning his attention now to the Raven now behind him and working hard to hit him as the Firestarter piroeted out of lasers and narrowly avoiding SRMs. The Firestarter swathed fire onto the Raven and cut holes into its hull with its medium lasers. A few seconds of attritive fire, the Raven now close enough that all he could see was a beak, a great fireball on legs, sparks and bright molten armour. A few tiny shining explosions gleamed in its right flank which erupted with a large one as some ammo blew up, ripping off the stubby arm and throwing the mech sideways into a building, Making sure his opponent didnt get up the finishing blow to the prone mech's head, killing the pilot instantly.

"Raptor 1 to base im coming back to gamma for refit and repair, Raptor 2 take command here if they take the bait call in support, call sign 'Overlord' then fall back to Echo, I'll rendevous with you there and we'll follow the main offensive into the city. copy?"
"Raptor 2 confirmed see you then"
"Raptor 1 Good hunting"


Hope you liked it... :D
