Erich chuckled, his 'mech easily shouldering trees out of the way as the Lance marched towards their objective. "What, and miss the chance to turn a Capellan 'Research Centre' into a smoking crater isn't enough? Besides your mechine doesn't have hands. No way you can steal some lostech with those claws."<br/><br/>Toggling to the lance comms, a hint of mirth still in his voice. "So, boys and girls; Alroy's complaining about not being allowed to go mano'y'mano with an Atlas; whomever kills more 'mechs than him in this fight, and gets back to the Bastion under their own power, gets a bonus of two thousand C-bills, from my pocket to yours. No stupid risks, just a good healthy game of whack-a-cappie."
