Operation "Dust Bowl"  part 6

Secotor B, somewhere close Nav Omega
„Get out, Reaper“ the Colonel ordered in an alarmed voice. „I cant Colonel, the escape mechanism is not working and the cockpit is not opening“, came the panicking reply of the former ComGuard. „I dont let my mights die“, the Colonel said, „hide in the back of the cockpit“. Reaper‘s thor had sunk had already to its torso into the swamp. Blodlust moved towards the sinking mech ....and started to fire at the right cockpit side with his pulse laser. An arm thick laser flash melted into the cockpit, just 2 metres from the Captain away. The Captain felt in pain his unprotected skin peel of by the immense heat of the shot. Although the pain made him nearly unconscious, Reaper‘s adrenaline pushed life insticts took over. It took him ages to climb out of the cockpit of the still sinking mech without touchin the razorblade sharp and enormous hot sides of the melted cockpit glass. Only the shoulders of the mech stood out from the marshy ground. And Reaper couldnt see where the rescuing stony spot began. The whole area was covered by the damn camouflage linen!!! So he hoped the best, took a 4 metres run up over the shaky shoulders of the sinking thor and jumped 5 metres towards the mech of the Colonel and hit the ground. ....Hard ground, as Reaper realized relieved before he became unconscious by the pain from his burned skin.

Without leadership, the last CSD pilots surrendered quickly. While medtechs brought Reaper away on a stretcher, the dust storm settled and the sun came out again. „That was close“ Colonel Blodlust thought in remembrance of the now useless enemy air force which had no troops to support anymore.

Then, most pilots „parked“ their mechs in the huge shadow of the conquered dropship.
„I must get out of the cockpit quickly“, Captain Gnostferatu thought.
„I must be on the ground first“, Corporal Redrock thought.
„Better I hurry“, Private First Class BloodRavin thought.
These kind of thoughts crossed many Dev pilots mind.
When Colonel Blodlust saw all his mechwarriors rushing out of their Cockpits, he knew what would come next. The group of men grouped up allegedly „inconspicuous“ around a certain mech.
 
 
 

Blodlust laughed silently, when Saint George ultra-slowly climbed down the ladder of her Madcat, seemingly enjoying the „non“-attention her stunning still sweating body got by the group. „Ah, she plays with the little boys“ the Colonel said smiling while he wondered if Saint George wore the white short and top to compensate better the heat or for some other....exhibitionist .....reason.
