[[Final post for me too...nice RPing with ya'll, but this has gotten too weird...]]
Damon limped his way down a side street, checking his corners before lumbering on. No mech was designed to fall seven stories, especially after suddenly losing a couple of tons mid-flight. Though he flared his jumpjets before impact, the Jenner still hyper-extended most of its gyros in the landing, and rather than push the mech to the point where its legs fell off, he settled for a small limping 60kph. No jumping either, otherwise he'd never get off the first roof he jumped to.
Finally, Damon entered the small plaza on the outskirts of town. The garden and gazebo, untouched by the rages of the city around it, sat as a silent testament to the peace that once was, and the peace that inevitably would come again long after this battle finally ended. Damon paused at the gazebo, eyeing it curiously as his mech leaked heat sink fluid over the road nearby. The contrast between his mech and the small structure couldn't have been more obvious, and Damon knew it.
If he ever came back, he'd like to sit in that gazebo just once.
Damon and Sakura gave the gazebo a small nod as one and limped on, his destination the small Union Dropship on the nearby landing pad. The dropship was commercial, but it was the one his fellow Skjaldborg member and officer had sent to him before embarking on their harrowing mission through the city. Damon checked the coordinates and key confirmations one last time before approaching within the range of the dropships turrets.
Immediately the turrets turned on him, but did not fire. Damon keyed his laser-communication and sent the passcodes. After a few moments the passcodes verified, and Damon limped the remaining distance to the dropship.
He hoped the officer, Orcinus, was already aboard, otherwise he'd have to make battlefield repairs and go after him. He also hoped the Rangers pilot, James, whom he had fought throughout the city with in both mechs and on foot, had made it out. Davion forces had landed on the planet - which Damon was sure was going to cause some strife somewhere - and the Delian's were pulling out. At this point, his job as a simple soldier was over and done....no, not simple soldier. But a soldier and mechwarrior nonetheless. With the data he gathered from the merc jockey who fought in the periphery and some other valuables strapped in his cockpit, Damon was more than thrilled to finally be rid of this planet.
He had a lot of reports to write, and damn anybody who bugged him about it.
[[Thanks for the RP guys, unless Orc needs help retreating I'm going to say Damon's mission is done. See ya in the next RP or ingame. ]]
