Jil's voice crackled over the Com to Akihiko.<br/><br/>"The FNG's are closer and I can move faster. You take the FNG's, I'll move to engage the Clanner's!"<br/><br/>His Cudgel began to move forward at increasing speed, Targeting computer already working out firing solutions. As soon as the target firmed up he began firing his lasers, in alternating fire groups of 3, at the Mad Cat, hoping to at least lure it's missile barrage to himself if he couldn't take them out. Then he was struck by an idea, opening a Com line to all clan 'Mechs he prepared to guaranty that he was the target of all fire.<br/><br/>"This is the honor of the Clans? You are so feeble that you must challenge outsiders to a Trial of Possession? And then you require a 30 ton advantage to feel safe in your victory? You are so impotent that you require Unbloodied warriors to fight for you? You dishonor not just yourselves and your Clan but all Clans! When this is over I shall see to it that everyone of you who fights this day faces the Trial of Annihilation! Your names and your bloodlines shall both be erased and forgotten for all time!"<br/><br/>He cut the Com secure in the knowledge that, if that didn't bring down their wrath of his head, nothing would. Then he engaged the Supercharger and warmed up the JumpJets, he was going to need all the maneuverability he could get soon, and even in Gravenhauge's heat it would take time for the TSM to kick in. In an effort to draw their fire, and attention, as far from his allies as possible, as well as to get them to interfere with each other's lines of fire, he was looping around the side of their formation to take them in the flank.
