[QUOTE="Peterson, post: 2228230, member: 21431"] Liz picked herself off the ground, pausing for a moment to brush the red dirt from her clothing. She glanced back towards the Town Foreman and gasped. Kaden fired off another round at the Aerial Interceptor, grinning when he saw the shot impact. He knew that one had to have damaged the flying power armor. Hearing a soft sobbing, he glanced towards the humans and gasped. Kaden looked to Liz, mainly to assure himself that she was still alive, and caught her glance. He titled his head slightly to the left – in the direction of the mother and two children – and received a curt nod from her, confirming what he expected. The Town Foreman laid face-down in the dirt, his blood barely staining the already red-colored ground below him. Massive bullet holes had ripped large chunks from his body, and through them, one could see his eldest child of fourteen years pinned underneath the dead weight of his father. Through all the blood, it was difficult to see if the young girl was still alive. The mother and two remaining children laid on the ground a few feet away, all three of them crying in fear and totally unaware of the death that lay just outside reach. Koveris tried to dig his claws into the large mecha he had climbed upon, and roared in frustration when he was unable to do so. Suddenly, the mecha’s left arm reached back and grabbed hold of the four-armed Mycabri – and Koveris found himself staring down the rotating barrels of a huge chaingun, less than a foot away. Even shooting blind, there was little chance the mecha’s operator could miss… Fenis looked about in a slight panic – his cover had just been blown apart by a massive explosive round from the CSI FIST-04’s Warpath Recoilless Rifle. Unable to find much cover, Fenis ran at top speed into the insertion shuttle, hoping that the small cargo bay would provide much-needed cover. Liz jogged over to the downed human male, hoping against logic that he still had some life signs.

Kaden moved towards the closest human – the mother – helping the woman to her feet and told her to run without looking back. She did as she was told, her head down and legs pumping with desperation.

Ken caught sight of the running human female – the one who planted the explosives in the mine. Gordy’s words came flooding back into his memory. [I]“Eliminate the Town Foreman and his family.
