(continuing my charrie's story..)
... As the Rocket Propelled Grenade flew into an airship's outer shell, damaging it heavily, Derani was already getting ready to press another big button. This time, she gripped the joysticks that controlled the arms, and aimed them upwards at the gondola of the same airship she hit with the RPG, pressing a few buttons to load, wind back, and fire the twin crossbows located on "hands" of the mech. One of the crossbow bolts merely dented the gondola, but the other penetrated the craft, the giant metal bolt sticking out of the side of the gondola. The airship swung back and forth uncertainly as it started to retreat. The other airship was beginning to drop several ropes from it's underside. "D*mn it" Bergsttom swore. Bear troops were starting to slide down the ropes and into the base. When she looked closer, she gasped in horror. These were Bear Fire Troopers, elite troops armed with flamethrowers that were normally sent into enemy installations with lots of flammable material. Fentrop are naturally fireproof, but Base 2142 is not.
She thought as fast as she could.. Most of the installation's ceilings are too small for her mech to fit inside, so she would have to go on foot... Derani Bergsttom took out her steam powered revolver, exited her vechicle and went in through the hangar..|
