As soon as Chi's<em>Daimyo</em>had reappeared Kate fired a volley of LRMs and her autocannon, stopping for just a moment and letting them go as soon as she had the barest hint of lock. The break in Kate's stride threw Chi's hastily aimed shot, the flash of the deadly PPC fire passing harmlessly in front of Kate's<em>Centurion</em>just as Kate began to walk her mech quickly backwards. Kate wanted to keep Chi back for as long as possible, or at least till she could get her mech nicely warmed up.<br/><br/>Again, Kate fired both her lasers at stands of trees, intending now to head back into the southeastern patch, and take a few seconds to stand in part of the blaze to overheat her mech. As she retreated, still walking backwards, Kate continued to fire all her weapons. She took more time, letting the lockons come, hopefully, as she new she could both dish out and take more punishment at range than the<em>Daimyo</em>.<br/><br/>((OOC: Kate's almost back into the SE forest area, I imagine.))
