“And I bid no rocket pack for my armor!” roared one Elemental.

“I will not use my laser!” shouted another.

Taman Malthus vaulted the railing surrounding the small amphitheater in which the members of his command bid for the right to pursue Dave Jewell. He landed solidly, planting both feet on the ground as if driving pilings down to the bedrock below. Clad in nothing more than a pair of shorts and sandals, he balled his fists and stared hard at the last two men in the arena.

“You are pathetic. You are all pathetic.” Malthus let his harsh gaze sweep over the men and women of his entire Star. “This is a man you hunt, not a BattleMech.”

“But Star Captain, you saw what he did to Corbin.”

“I saw. He cut him, beat him, and broke his back, then trussed him up like an animal bound for market. He tied him to that hovertruck and sent it on a crazy chase through the search sectors. That complicates things, but does not tell us if Jewell is good, or Corbin was just stupid.”

Malthus pointed back toward the Star’s administration building. “The labs analyzed Corbin’s dagger and have found blood residue on it. Jewell has been cut, and could be in bad shape. Sending the truck out may have been a desperate move to utterly throw us off the track.”

“I bid—” began one woman.

Malthus waved her bid off. “Your bid is worth nothing because my own bid is nothing.” He raised clenched fists to shoulder height. “I will get him with my bare hands.”

“How?” shouted another Elemental. “We have not a clue as to where he is.”

“Yes we do. He is hurt, and must realize he cannot hope to elude us in the wilderness for much longer. That means he has to head back to a place large enough for him to lose himself and, quite possibly, make contact with partisans.”

The Elemental leader folded his arms across his heavily muscled chest. “We will concentrate our search in and around Dove Costoso. We will cut across his trail and find him. He has killed a man in my command, which makes him more than a nuisance for Demi-Precentor Khalsa.

“Yes, we will find this Dave Jewell and then, when he thinks himself most safe, his life will be mine.”
