Jal smiled slightly, then responded to Shiz as she walked the Heavy Quad out of the Hangar, following a few hundred metres behind Shiz's much smaller 'mech. Listening to the comment about heat Sponging, she chuckled again, then shook her head slightly. "Nah. It wouldn't matter anyhow, because the guns put out enough heat when firing to make thing thing a beacon on IR scans. This thing is designed to hit things, not be sneaky."<br/><br/>A few moments later, after listening to the information about the locale, she toggled her radio again. "Not entirely waterproof, but that's something I plan to change at some time in the future."<br/><br/>Carefully edging her 'mech around a particularly large building, she frowned, then tapped her sensor screen. "Shiz, are you picking up some Magnetic Anomalies on the far side of the River?" A few moments later, Aren's voice came over the commlink, followed by Jal swearing, hitting a toggle to re-arm her weapons with live Ammo, and, reaching over to hit a switch on the left side of the cockpit, she set a frequency scanner to search for signals in the direction of the Anomalies her sensors had picked up.<br/><br/>Five Seconds later, the Long Tom Cannon Roared, the blast causing the 'Mech to lurch back in recoil, followed by the Shell Impacting High on an Advancing 'mech's right arm, the force of the impact and the explosive payload ripping the limb off and shredding armour like it was made of tissue paper. Silently, Jal watched as the 'mech she had hit staggered, then began to retreat, while its compatriots advanced, spreading out to avoid being easy targets for the Artillery aimed at them. "C'mon guys, I won't kill you if you run away... yet."<br/><br/>Advancing her 'mech towards the River, She began side-stepping the squat machine towards the Waterfall, ignoring the ringing impact of a light cannon bouncing off the angled armour of her 'mech's carapace. Toggling her radio, she spoke again. "Taking fire; Light AT rounds. They're advancing in a skirmish line." Punctuating her comment, she fired her main cannon again, the shell landing short and exploding a few metres from a light-looking 'Mech, which suddenly found itself without a right leg from the knee down. "C'mon guys; I only have so much ammo."
