On the ground, [[Paul Bens|Paul "Doc" Bens]] and his [[Doc's Scorpions]] protect the capital, New Light, and defend multiple evacuation DropShips. Above, Admiral Merris waits in his ''[[Fortress]]''-class DropShip, overseeing the defense and ready to carry out his contingency orders. Paul calls for support, but Merris's fleet is outnumbered six to one, and Merris decides to wait for orders. The orders eventually arrive: destroy the planet's factories with an [[Asset Management Weapon]] bombardment and leave. − On the ground, Paul's forces fight, Paul coordinating the movements of each company. The DropShip he defends, the ''[[Amanda 4]]'', survives, but that of [[Chic Mattson]], the ''[[Amanda 5]]'', is completely destroyed. When Paul learns of the severe losses involved, anger builds. Just hours later, he sees orbital fire on his readings: the AMWs are coming. The new goal: get as many people onto the ''Amanda 4'' as possible. − Chic reaches the ''Amanda 4'' mere minutes before the barrage is set to hit, and has only 'Mechs in tow - no civilians and no APC support, all lost behind him in his escape. These losses enrage Paul, who, under time pressure with the area about to come under nuclear bombardment, prioritizes another lance for boarding the ''Amanda 4''. Chic fires on said lance, resulting in a brawl that ends with most surviving Scorpions aboard the escaping DropShip, Chic dead, and Paul waiting out his final moments before nuclear death.+ ==Featured characters== − + *Merris − == Featured characters == − * Howard − * Merris − * [[Paul Bens]] − * [[Rick Adams]] − * [[Alex Kunze]] − * [[Rob Trent]] − * [[Chic Mattson]] − * Christy − * Javi − * Emerald − * Eddy − * Wren − * Rymei (mentioned) − * [[Casandra Bens]] (mentioned) − * [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] (mentioned) − − == Featured Units == − * [[Doc's Scorpions]] − * [[2nd Avalon Hussars]] (mentioned) − * [[8th Avalon Hussars]] (mentioned) == Featured BattleTech == == Featured BattleTech == − === DropShips ===+ * ''[[Artemis (Individual Fortress-class DropShip)|FSS Artemis]]'' − * ''[[Fortress]]''-class ([[Artemis (Individual Fortress-class DropShip)|FSS ''Artemis'']]) − * ''[[Union]]''-class (''[[Amanda 4]]'') − * ''[[Overlord]]''-class − * Unknown class (''[[Amanda 5]]'') − − === BattleMechs === − * ''[[Archer]]'' − * ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]'' − * ''[[Awesome]]'' − * ''[[Griffin]]'' − * ''[[Locust]]'' − * ''[[Longbow]]'' − * ''[[Marauder]]'' − * ''[[Shadow Hawk]]'' − * ''[[Thug]]'' − * ''[[Wasp]]'' − * ''[[Warhammer]]'' − * ''[[Wolverine]]'' == Featured planets == == Featured planets == * [[Nouveau Toulouse]] * [[Nouveau Toulouse]] − * [[New Avalon]] (mentioned) − * [[Sakhara]] (mentioned) − [[Category:Short Stories]] [[Category:Short Stories]] [[Category:Works by David Smith]] [[Category:Works by David Smith]]
