“1st Platoon,” she called over the link after confirming all three mechs were ready to roll, “form up on me and proceed at forty-five kph. I say again, four-five kph. Any faster than that, and we’ll wake ‘em up before we get close enough for third base.”

“We wouldn’t want that, would we?” Nakamura snickered.

“I feel like I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask,” Giles said hesitantly. “Are we sure this is the right call?”

“Of course not,” Xi replied as the trio of mechs marched down the tunnel. “We could wait a few hours for Captain Koch to come down with Joker Company and reinforce a full advance. But we’re one of the shallowest teams in the op, which means most of our people are deeper, possibly cut off and surrounded by Arh’Kel as we speak. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to live in a world where every minute of my life is filled with doubt about whether or not I could have done something to help them. If that means I die down here, so be it. If either of you has even the slightest hesitation, fall back and hold the cavern with the Martian Militia.”

“They don’t review the dead, Major. That’s what our posthumous hero awards are for,” Nakamura retorted.

“No, they don’t,” she allowed before channeling the old man’s style of speech to the best of her ability. “But you know what they say…”

In perfect unison, and without any more prompting than that, all three Jocks enthusiastically declared, “Metal never dies!”
