<div class="floatleft">(http://www.infinitelibraries.com/images/vanya.jpg)</div>Location: Artos<br/><br/>There wasn't really much to do here. Their leadership had led them straight into an ambush, the heavy hitters were falling left and right. Ivan more or less ignored the attack on him from the Griffin, trusting his armor to hold at least long enough for him to inflict some damage on the opposing force. He targeted the incoming Thunderbolt and fired a more or less continuous stream of missiles and autocannon slugs at the 'Mech, succeeding in stripping off armor and damaging engine shielding before the sustained fire took its toll on his Orion. Two gyroscope hits in quick succession triggered his 'Mech to power down even as it tilted sideways and collapsed. the simulator pod rocking with the motion. Ivan carefully disconnected and climbed out. No point in watching - he knew how this was going to end. No, he needed to find a table somewhere and make notes. Even if noone asked him, it would be good to keep track of his observations.
