TETSUHARA PROVING GROUNDS
OUTREACH
SARNA MARCH
FEDERATED COMMONWEALTH
22 JULY 3051
Kai Allard wiped his sweaty palms against his cooling vest. âI copy, Victor. I appreciate your advice. Heaven knows I canât hope to do as well out there as you did.â
Victorâs voice made it through the speakers full of confidence. âKai, Hohiro smoked my mark, so I know you can do better. Iâm counting on it. The honor of the Federated Commonwealth rests on your shoulders.â
Kai shivered. âYou had it easy. Shin was your wingman. Iâve got Sun-Tzu out here, which means Iâve got four people hunting me.â
âHeâll have his hands full with the crew theyâve arrayed against him. As long as you donât shoot any of his targets, his folks will leave you alone and yours will leave him alone. Remember, youâve got an Omni and theyâre just running normal âMechs. Youâll dust them in no time.â
âDonât waste your money betting on me.â
âCanât,â Victor laughed. âNo one will give me good odds.â
Another voice, one Kai instantly recognized as Jaime Wolfâs, cut into the channel. âSun-Tzu Liao and Kai Allard-Liao, this is your time of testing. Though all energy weapons are powered down and, projectiles are phantom rounds, damage will be assessed at full value by the computers monitoring the exercise. Still, caution is important because the âMechs are subject to damage. Fall off a mesa and land on your cockpit and youâll be as dead as you would be from a head shot in a battle. Do you understand?â
âRoger, Colonel.â Kai heard the echo of Sun-Tzuâs reply a moment later.
âYour mission is to defeat the foes arrayed against you. You may cooperate, but radio communication will be jammed for both sides of the battle. You may shoot at enemies not assigned to you, but that frees your foes to pursue your ally and vice versa. These exercises are usually complicated enough that such additional confusion is not necessary. You will be ranked according to the number of foes you destroy, and the amount of damage you do. Good luck. The exercise will commence in thirty seconds.â
Kai took one last glance at his primary monitor. It reported all weapon systems operational, and he smiled at the array heâd been given. The LRMs, the extended range large laser, and the Gauss rifle would all hit at longer ranges, letting him pick apart enemies working in closer. At closer range, his heavy autocannon and battery of pulse lasers would do some serious damage. This Daishi, whose name meant âGreat Death,â looked like it would live up to its name.
Across the battlefield, he saw a frightening group of enemy âMechs. Allotted to him were an Archer, a Blackjack, and a BattleMaster. He evaluated the trio in terms of threat and formulated his plan of action. The Blackjack, he knew, had the lightest armor. A concentrated assault in the form of missiles, large laser, and Gauss rifle could take it out of battle almost instantly. The Archer, with two batteries of LRMs, was built for long-range combat, which meant heâd have to close with it or duke it out at a distance.
