"Let all Warriors take pride in their accomplishments, for our lives are short..."
In the wee hours of the morning, word came in from The Watch: Blakist convoy, moving through the snowy wastes, taking the last of the hidden Siberian Railway goods. Escort nothing more than a couple medium mechs. Despite the late hour, Resnick had jumped to it, running out to his mech in his underwear. He looked up at his Timber Wolf, grinned wide and literally jumped into the cockpit, not even minding the banging he gave his shin mid leap.
Interception was a joke. White Chalice dropped them off far ahead of their quarry's expected route and they only had to wait, shut down inside snow drifts, for them to pass through.
And when they did, when passive sensors caught them and he could hear the rumble of the trucks through the layers of snow, he activated his jump jets and came down in front of them with a clang.
"I am Star Captain Resnick Vickers, of Clan Wolf. I bring with me my star and-" etc etc. He was clearly loving every moment of it.
In reply, half of the vehicles peeled away to show vicious racks of short range missiles, like grinning animal mouths. He was briefly wreathed in flame, staggering back...
[Death and violence in the comments. Locked to close CR.]
The Battle (if anyone wants to play it out)
no subject
[Mad's pretty much backing off, sticking to her guns rather than a melee assault as she often enjoys - barrages of Beam Pistol fire, pulse lasers, missiles and CIWS bursts tear through the air.]
Someone! Anyone! What the hell's going on!?
Big Dog! Come on old man! Talk to me!

"I am here, pup. Be calm and remember what I taught you. I'll draw their fire-" not that he has much choice "-you flank to the...surat!...to the left. Take out the treads on that armor and we can pick them off from afar." He says, adrenaline dumping causing a contraction to sneak into his speech. His mech backpedals frantically.

[She grits her teeth and banks away. The mobility advantage really helps here... still.]
How's your mech holding out? You took a bad hit...

"Star Captain Vickers and Mechwarrior Caine, this is Mechwarrior Matthew! I am on my way, bearing Zero-Two-Five! ETA, 34 seconds!"
Twenty seconds later, green and red beams lance down from above, frying several SRM boats. Matthew's Nova Messenger descends on gouts of plasma.
"Relax, Resnick: I have visual. What is your condition?"

He scattered mines in a wide arc in front of him with his LRM racks, forcing the tracked vehicles to risk motive damage if they advanced any closer.

"Limping already, baby?" Laughter, high pitched and clear rings through the comm The Knightmare Moon comes riding in, Adette's old Knightmare frame. "Don't worry, Big Sis is here now!" Zipping quickly, she dashes across the ground with a graceful ease, firing at those who's fire she drew.
no subject
"Just who I was hoping to see. Move towards my position. I have lain a minefield for them. Do not worry, they will not detonate for you." Finally, a little bit of tactical flexibility from the young, conservative clanner, and not a moment too soon. Adette should recognize that strategy, having used it before in that very same knightmare frame...

"Behind you! Two of them! Heat signatures in the skies!"
He pivots on his jump jets, taking aim.
And now we are free...
Pissed but still riding on adrenaline, Resnick singled out the CO, a rather harmless looking thin man with watery blue eyes. He hauled him to his feet. "Where are the rest of your forces?" He growled, imperious.
The Blakist only muttered a prayer. Resnick removed his sidearm and cracked the prisoner across the jaw with it. "Where are the rest of your forces?!"
"...only made it easier for me." the prisoner said quietly. He turned his bloody mouth to Resnick and breathed, close to him.
A thin cloud traveled from his mouth to Resnick's nose. Resnick was going to reply with further violence when something happened to him, when he felt his lung rebel. They would no longer move. Fire engulfed his throat and he clutched at it hard enough to draw blood. His heart was limping along like a deer that had been shot. He collapsed backwards to the cold snow...

[Mad rushes over, her heart's hammering hard. No. No come on. NO! She wasn't losing someone else! Not again! She's dragging Resnick away from the prisoner turned assasin as best as she could.]
MEDIC!! WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MEDIC?!
[Her voice was frightened, shaky. She didn't know what she was dealing with here.]
no subject
She was not there for the battle due to being elsewhere hitting another alleged convoy...
But this is not what she expected when she came over for the interrogation. Ranna does not say anything even as sounds of footsteps herald the arrival of medical personnel.
no subject
[Not like this.]
Damnit Big Dog! Say something! Anything!
[Mad's voice cracked, tears chilling her face.]
no subject
"Pup. Glad you...here. Proud of you."
no subject
C'mon... Don't talk like you're dying Big Dog! Make fun of me being a freebirth! Call me wetnose! Get annoyed at me for doing something silly!
[She flinches... it was like all those years ago... coming back to the sight of her dad, lying still in the bed... only this time...]
I don't wanna have to say goodbye so damn soon!
[She hiccups weakly.]
Papa...don't go...
[Papa wolf... a fitting way for her to finally acknowledge what Resnick meant to her.]
no subject
She does manages a strained smile at the man, hoping to focus his attention other than the pain.
"You know there will be many crossed at you, least of all starting with me, quiaff?"
no subject
Adette came running in, her heart pounding in her chest. She looked at Rana only a second, her blond hair carried by the force of her momentum followed behind her like a banner. She would have ripped the other girl away if she had not been crying so terribly She slid to her knees between them and seized Resnick's arm.
"You asshole! You fucking asshole! You're not allowed to-!" there was a tremble in her voice that make it crack.
no subject
Resnick's other arm came up to stroke Adette's cheek too, imprinting the feel of it on his last memory. "Sorry..." He mouthed to both her and Ranna. "Will have to fail you. Again. Wish could stay with you longer. Time spent already...precious."
no subject
[Mad doesn't say another word... just clutching the hand that was at her cheek like a lifeline.]

He slides to a stop and stares, silently, disbelief etched across his features.
