Chi monitored the sensor board trying to keep track of her opponent. she had to admit the woman was good.  At first she was confused by the other woman's attempts to set the trees on fire. Thenshe remembered the<i> Centurion</i>was equipped with triple strength myomers. Apparently Kate was hoping to run hot enough for tem to kick in, and then bring the fight to her. Well if she wanted a little heat Chi was more than willing to help her out.<br/>Hugging the west side of the treeline she goosed the throttle and came into the open running at an angle her torso twisted toward the lake. She had the shorter trees to protect her legs, but she was worried about her torso. Kate's first shot had nearly depleted the thing armor of her left torso. one more soldi hit there and she'd be done for.<br/>The smoke fro mthe fires was making it hard to achieve a lock. As the the crosshairs turned green over Kates silouete she fired another PPC blast. It hadn't been a solid lock, but it woul hopefully find it's mark or at least froce her to take cover. toggling ot her medium laser she fired into the trees near the west bank of the lake, setting some fires of her own.<br/><hr/>Doing great so far. Chi is now near the west edge of the map following the contour of the level 1 trees there.
