She hadn't been with the Black Sun mercenary company for very long. She’d graduated from Allison Mechwarrior Institute on New Olympia, gone to Solaris VII to join the arena fights there, and thanks to her good looks and increasing number of wins, she became a celebrity after a couple of years of struggling. She did photoshoots for magazines and posed for cosmetics brands, and her image was quite a common sight throughout the Inner Sphere. It was only recently that she made the career change to being a mercenary. Angeline wondered what the rest of her company thought of her and her background. She was most well-known for her Solaris background and her work as a model and occasional actress. Her cadet background and her blueblood background were less well-known, but not because she was trying to keep them a secret, of course. As the other 'Mechs of her company moved to engage the battleline of the Crushers, Angeline looked on, searching for good targets to rain missile death upon. Seeing as she hadn't been given specific orders on what 'Mech to take out...Angeline went with the biggest one she could find, training her sights on the Banshee that was moving to engage the Black Sun Company’s commander, Kari's Black Knight...<br/><br/>"Seraph engaging Banshee with LRMs. Seraph out."<br/><br/>Until the first salvo of seventy LRMs crashed into its front torso and arms, that is. Then the pilot of that Banshee decided it would be better to try to take out Angeline and her Longbow instead. The sheer number of missiles she could rain on her enemies made Angeline and her Longbow a threat to any 'Mech, no matter how much armor it had, if left to her own devices. Turning its torso to face the Longbow, the Banshee fired off a pair of ER PPCs at Angeline just as she let loose yet another hail of missiles upon her enemy. When the PPCs barely missed the Longbow, a trio of Medium Lasers followed up as Angeline's LRMs exploded upon contact with the Banshee. No major damage to the Banshee...yet. Two of the lasers connected with the Longbow, splashing across the Longbow's left arm, while the last one sizzled just off to the side. Obviously not enough to tear through the Longbow's armour. Shrugging off the damage done, Angeline launched another volley of LRMs, firing all of her missile payload and watching it streak through the air and impact upon the Banshee. And this time, Angeline smiled to herself as she watched the ER PPCs on her opponent's 'Mech blow up into flaming pieces of metal. While the Banshee still could fight with its lasers and Gauss rifle, it couldn't do nearly as much damage without those ER PPCs. And beyond the PPCs, her missiles might have taken out a few heat sinks as well, judging from the smaller explosions that occurred after her own missiles had exploded against the enemy ‘Mech. She'd gotten lucky there. Angeline briefly considered firing her ER Small Lasers, but turned down the idea. They wouldn't do much damage against something as well armored as the Banshee, and would add additional heat buildup to her 'Mech.<br/><br/>And then a couple of autocannon rounds smashing into the Longbow drew Angeline's attention to another 'Mech. The damn Firestarter had broken away from the main Crusher line and was now harassing her with its Rotary AC/2. It was way too fast for her ‘Mech to handle, and also getting way too close for her missiles as well, probably to use its three Flamers on her. “Seraph here. If anyone’s not too busy, I could use a little help. Ran into a little trouble. There’s a Firestarter running around me with an AC and flamers, and a Banshee shooting at me from range.  If someone could kindly blow that Firestarter into scrap metal, I would be very grateful to you. Seraph out.” The blonde beauty kept her Longbow moving and twisting, trying to make herself a harder target for both the Banshee and the Firestarter. That meant she couldn't keep a lock on the Banshee though. She’d have to wait till someone decided to help her out before she could continue with her fire support role. Missile death from the heavens would have to be put off for just a little while.<br/>
