<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/c/cf/SNBurn.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Michelle Gardner  (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=283333.msg13938150#msg13938150)<br/><strong>Vehicle:</strong>-<br/><strong>Location and time:</strong>Landing zone<br/><strong>Warning:</strong>-<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Open<br/><hr/><br/>The initial recon by Angel is all in all very promising, only one of the four turrets swing slowly towards the speeding chopper and the few rounds it spits out at him misses. The techs back at the dropship pour over the data he sends back and feed it back to Michelle who sends it back to Butcher.<br/><br/>The area around the compound is devoid of any mechs or any visible infantry, there is only minor signs of a mech having been there with a nearby orchard partly trampled down by what might have been a medium sized mech. Now with Angelo's fresh eyes in the sky they can refine the details of their map, the riverbed looks solid enough to support anything but the heaviest mechs and a light mech will probably get good cover from the riverbanks and the many pumping stations that run along it pumping water into the rice fields. Likewise the tanks should have little problem navigating it if they so wishes.<br/><br/>“Butcher, the techs tell me the turrets are active but starved of power. The one firing is likely the only one with reserve batteries left, however they suspect once we activate the reactor to get the data all of them will become active. Take em out or override them as you see fit.”<br/><br/>That is all she has time to transmit before she is assaulted by incoming messages from both sides, each accusing them of being the enemy and she gets down to her own battle. To dance the fine edge between trying to keep them off her people and not give away why they are here. She much rather be back in a mech than this, pretty soon she is wondering if she shouldn't have a cooling vest on as well. Sweat is glittering on her forhead from the stress, this is a battlefield she is completely new to but so far she is keeping both of them busy talking and not sending strike teams at them.<br/><br/>“You have broken our agreement! Faithless dogs, we will now unleash all our forces.”<br/><br/>Michelle sighs as the Clan commander is growling like the animal his clan seems to be named after, a mountain of a man with enough scars on his skin to rival hers. Which is saying something, she guesses he is in his late 30s but willing to admit that she can be way off on that. Guessing age has never been her strong side. She isn't 100% convinced he is actually going to do what he is saying, something about his words makes her think he is more saying it to test them. From what she has read the Clans are big on testing themselves on many forms of battlefields. But that intel as with anything else they know isn't all that reliable.<br/><br/>“As for you<strong>mercenary</strong>, I will have you dragged into my bedchamber, in chains and naked for this!”<br/><br/>She just rolls her eyes, so dramatic. And besides she is sure no one wants to see her naked anyway so she takes it for an empty threat.<br/><br/>“Look, good Sir. We are not here with any interest in either of you.”<br/><br/>“LIES!”<br/><br/>“Then why all the firepower?!”<br/><br/>“Because we cannot be sure you don't attack us, you don't walk into a warzone only carrying a big stick. We won't shoot first, but we will defend ourselves.”<br/><br/>
