[b]Rally[/b] drove her thrust home at the Sparos's other limb, and with a screech of metal it found itself completely disarmed. The right arm fell not far from the left; the Sparos stumbled forward drunkenly before regaining its footing and turning to face the new threat. The pilot seemed to be having more of a run of bad luck than anything, because they reacted quickly enough. The moment the machine trained its sensors on the Valkyrie, it began backpedaling using its ground-effect thrusters. Its head-mounted antipersonnel turrets began firing as well, but the bullets [i]ping[/i]ed harmlessly off of Valkyrie's steel plates. They were fired more out of anger than strategy, since the chances of them doing any damage were as good as none. Despite their frustration, the enemy pilot clearly did not intend to stick around. Even moving backwards, they headed away from Rally--and towards the single road out of the base--at a faster clip than Valkyrie (or Daedalus, for that matter) could manage. She'd managed to end the immediate threat to Albert--but if that Sparos got within comms range of its squadmates on patrol... [b]Marcus[/b]'s luck held this time, and the explosive round impacted the tank in the middle of its turret. The tank commander's brief moment of elation--he hadn't had a chancel to see how little damage he had, in fact, inflicted on Daedalus--was cut short in a blinding flash. The penetrator tip of the Myrmidon-sized round pierced the thinner top armor before going up, and the detonation took with it the remainder of the tank's magazine--and the munitions dump it had been driving past at the time. The concussive blast blew down a nearby storage shed; what it did to any enemy soldiers who happened to be nearby hardly bore thinking on. Where there had been tons of Athenian armed forces supplies, now there was only a smoking, blackened patch of earth, strewn with wreckage. The force of the blast washed past [b]Albert[/b], blowing an unmanned rocket artillery unit across his path like a 50-ton tumbleweed. Its launch unit had been damaged, but past the bent and jagged metal, he could see high-explosive rockets still held safely in their cradles.[hr] Each of your cockpits lights up with a sensor warning--the fix is poor, but there seems to be another source of Chroma effect in the area, quickly gaining strength.
