[i]"Scatter! Don't let 'em box us in."[/i]

"Got it!" Cormag snapped back in confirmation, thrusting his CMF yet further away from the rocks to outrun the 3-manned split in the enemy. It looked like the other 2 enemy MFs intended to use the rock outcropping as additional cover; a plan surely doomed to fail regardless of their strategy against Blayke's Revenants' far more advanced arms. Drawing attention back to the larger portion of bots on his hands, Cormag twisted the Aegis into a semi-spin to re-face his foes. Again he drummed at their CMFs with the 35 mm 'Shredder', serving to suppress their own fire and peck away at their armor whenever possible. 

The pursuit of the bots took its toll, though, when several heavy shells blasted the immediate area. One blast in particular struck the top of the Aegis' flathead platform, a shot that might've decapitated most any other MF. Cormag's cockpit quaked with shellshock and alarms, and as the veteran pilot struggled to retain control of the platform his CMF continued to be pelted by the enemy's autoguns. The pair of machineguns upon the front of the Aegis' platform popped forward, as all of Cormag's rotary weaponry retaliated against the bots, eventually pushing them back.

While the Aegis skidded away again, the bots attempted to redouble their efforts against it and the other Revenants, only to find themselves intercepting heavy fire from behind. Having taken advantage of a brief blind spot the bots made behind them, Cormag attempted to hammer down the enemy's machines with his 40 mm gun, the so-called 'Snipe Cannon'. The extreme-velocity shots threatened to tear though the gang's lesser reinforced armor; one pilot in particular closest to the Aegis found his control system compromised by the heavy fire.

[i]"You holding up?"[/i] The Strigoi's pilot asked, and Cormag grunted as he fell back away from the gang's fire, "More or less. Got a big dent that'll need buffing out later." He was, of course, referring to the hot black scar atop the flathead mech.
