Ranna Krannok<br/>Artos Training Facility<br/>0600 hrs March 6th<br/>(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j77/wulfjaeger/279b6e5f-ef0f-4fa9-9a7d-d288709a4aea_zps14cbe92e.jpg)<br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><em> "Heading down to the Pods. Wonder how the Rookies will react to PPC overload. Don't let things get easy on 'em."</em><br/><br/>"I never do!"  She said with a smirk as she started adjusting the formations for the armored assault forces.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The Vedettes continued to move and shoot as the heavies entered the fray.  The Harassers took advantage of the open terrain and used the area to open up hard on the larger mech as the Condors moved into max effective range.  Each of the tanks and hovercraft made a point of staying on the move as much as possible as they fired trying to wear down the mech armor as much as possible, while continuing to move back towards the main group.  A few of the Condor's moved in close to the spread out recon lance and pounded away as much as they could hoping to do critical damage before pulling back out once the fight got too heavy.  Focusing most of their attention on the Bushwacker and Wolfhound with their heavy AC5 cannon and medium lasers scoring random hits on legs and torsos while calling in fire for the Harassers on the heavy lance.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Vicegrip telemetry reports the Assault vehicles are ten kilometers from the city and fifteen from the HPG station.  We also have indications a dropship just did a low level pass over the city."  She made sure a small portion of the main column pulled off and set up positions in the city while the larger force continued to the HPG station.<br/><br/><em>“David Sharpe. New recruit. I'll start by apolgising for my lateness.”</em>He new arrival barely registered with Ranna while she was scanning the mission board.  She remembered Walt mentioning something about a late add, but hadn't really thought about it till now.  "We'll talk about that later.  Go up to the review lounge and watch the fight.  Take good notes, I won't be easy on you next fight."  With that she turned back to the mission board preparing things for the next phase.  The tech had changed the OpFor mechs over to the active server and now it was time to unleash hell.
