"Brick, Vice. Be with you in a minute, cracking open a oyster shell here."<br/><br/>Like Griff, Alroy had found a warehouse and focused the attention of his large laser on the hinge mechanisms, but for a very different reason. Positioned in front of the doors, he dragged coherent light across the hinges until they glowed white-hot, then tilted the weight of his chassis back and kicked out with one huge, three-toed foot. The melted hinges shattered, sending the door halfway across the hanger and flattening a handful of techs scattered around the stationary chassis of a 'Mech - a Vindicator, by the looks of it, but cold and inactive. For good measure, Alroy pumped a full missile salvo into the sitting target, shattering the gantry and toppling the machine sideways into a pile of spare parts and ammunition. The spare shells detonated as the Crab retreated around the remaining door, barely holding in the blast and sending a blistering torch of flame out the gap. Once his heat was under control, he locked on Erich's coordinates and lumbered in the Awesome's direction.<br/><br/>The Cataphract pilot was just as startled as Alroy was when they came around the corner of a warehouse, almost colliding head-on. The Capellan pilot backpedaled furiously, spitting light from its twin lasers and PPC as the autocannon spat solid slugs into a line of craters across Tanya's front plating, struggling to get back out of sight before the King Crab could retaliate. Unfortunately for him, he didn't make it in time, and Alroy zeroed in on the enemy Mech's hips, above the reverse-jointed knees reminiscent of the Marauder whose legs had, once upon a time, been cannibalized into the first Cataphract. Like the Marauders, Cataphracts sported leg armor much lighter than was typical for their weight class, and the Deathgiver autocannons bellowed 150mm fury into the fragile joint. The hip and a solid portion of the 'Mech's upper thigh shattered beneath the fury, and its pilot ejected to safety moments before the rest of his crippled 'Mech toppled sideways through the warehouse wall.
