Tetsuo flipped his sensors over to Magnetic Anomaly Detection, and smiled as he saw the return pulse of Arminas mech, moving towards the opposite side of their arena. "A sensible tactic" he thought, "But unfortunately the wrong one in this case. Well, I can always debrief her later." His smile widened briefly as he recalled her flirting outside the simpods, and his choice of words. "Duty first." he murmured.<br/><br/>His mech raced down behind the cover of the trees and he cut sharply to the left. Not the sort of movement he would have made in an urban enviroment, but the softer ground accepted his movement without the chance of the mech skidding.<br/><br/>With a roar his jump jets ignited sending his up and over the wall of trees. Ahead he could see Arminas mech, moving faster now. She must have picked up his approach, and turning to engage him would only give him the advantage in the engagement. He nodded in respect of her choice of tactics as he triggered his PPC and ER medium laser. The laser streaked just wide as Armina made a sharp turn, but the PPC scored, a solid hit up near the left shoulder.<br/><br/>At this range he coudn't tell if it had struck the arm or the left rear torso, but either way, she would know she had been hit. If it had struck the rear, there was a good chance it had punched into the mechs interior structure, perhaps doing damage to some of the mechs thrusters. With most of her weapons on the right side of her mech, her fighting power would be little reduced though.<br/><br/>The warbling tone of his Streak 6 seeking lock continued, then cut out as Armina disappeared behind the trees that rose as Tetsuo landed, the impact jarring his in his restraints.
