Sweat beading on her brow more from the excitement than from the heat inside the simpod, Chi smiled as Kate manuevered directly into the path of her PPC blast. The smile disapeared as she saw the telltale trails of incoming LRM's.<br/>Reversing the throttel she tried to back away from the incoming rain of missiles. Her<i> Daomyo</i>shook biolently as the warheads wittled away at her leg armor, and the remainder of the armor to her right arm. Then she was falling backwards as a stream of solid autocannon rounds cored into her center torso, sending tons of molten metal running down the front of the wounded mech, like trail of blood. Chi took the fall hard on her right side, the crash couch shaking with the simulated impact with the ground. Luckily her fal lhad caused the lasers to miss his.<br/>Damage klaxons wailed and she looked to her damage dispaly even as she struggled to regain her feet. One of the lasers in the right arm had become misaligned from the fal land was offline. Her mech was practicalyl armorless on both legs, the right arm, and center torso. If she was goign to pull this off it would have to be now. Even a single laser hit now, would most likely take her down.<br/>Glancing at her sensors she saw that Kate was closing. She had to running hot enough by now. Maybe she could use the other woman's desire to finish this at melee range to her advantage.<br/>Finally regaining her feet she charged the oncoming<i>Centurion</i>firing her PPC as she closed, and zigging back and forth so as to try and avoid Kate's shots.<br/><hr/><br/>Looks about right. I am having trouble with my gimp program so I can't update the mech status' but your right torso is now in the red, and Chi's mech is pretty much red all over exept the left arm, left torso, and head.
