I was looking over the power readout of the new light engine installed in my Phoenix Hawk. Not as good as the old XL, but at least I wasn't gonna be out of the battle from an unlucky hit. I had just finished the final calibrations when I noticed 'old man' Festus looking over my shoulder. I barely had time to mentally prepare myself for what was about to come.
"Ah, you kids and your fancy do-dads. Why back in my day ..."
"You had to feed the hamster an extra piece of cheese to run faster." My half-cocked smile reinforcing my little joke.
"You know better then to make fun of Bertha. She may be old and slow, but she's got it where it counts."
I couldn't argue with Festus there. Bertha was a 150 year old Rifleman. All stock parts. Alot of the guys say Bertha belongs in a museum, but I know better. With Festus in the cockpit, that old man can give any mechwarrior a run for their money.
