Line 37: The ''Jenner'' is swiftly overwhelmed, and after trampling through the fence, lasing the ground as he moves to set off buried anti-personnel mines, Head Job promptly turns his [[flamer]] on the militia infantry scrambling to respond; the ''Hatchetman'' comes running into the area, but after taking one look at the ''Flashman'', retreats rapidly. With Head Job off indulging his favorite hobby - smashing enemy 'Mechs and murdering their [[MechWarrior (pilot)|pilots]] - Zoltan takes his jeep over the crushed remains of the fence and up to the main depot building, with a lorry following behind him, ready to load it up with plundered loot.
