Line 20: ==Plot summary== ==Plot summary== − MechWarrior [[Wade Tobias Staczyk]], nicknamed Stacks, wakes up drowning. His [[5th Lyran Regulars]] DropShip crashed into a bog on [[Szepes]], shot down by [[Free Worlds League]] forces. Escaping with his ''[[Guillotine]]'', he is the sole survivor, left with a damaged 'Mech and nobody knowing he lives. − Struggling with memories of his child [[Nassi Staczyk|Nassi]] and still worried about League forces, he encounters a group of children. Most he scares off, but one, Alice, remains, declaring him the answer to her prayers and calling him to town. Alice brings him to the small village, Zamarun, where he meets the old and respected village doctor, Reeta: a former MechWarrior with the [[Eridani Light Horse]] who left to escape war. She tries to persuade Stacks to deal with the village's problem, a lance of pirate ''[[Locust]]''s called the [[Foxhounds]], but Stacks, with his damaged 'Mech, resists. − Stacks eats a meal, one far better than the MREs he is used to, and speaks to Alice one more time. Finding himself overwhelmed by the resemblance to his daughter Nassi, he decides to fight.+ ==Featured characters== − − Four ''Locust''s are a difficult fight. The village as a whole moves, drawing the pirates out. Stacks takes one down quickly, and distracts the others from the villagers, leading them towards the very bog that took his DropShip. He jumps in, the pirates follow, and in a planned and time-precise move, he jumps back out. The remaining ''Locust''s, now stuck, are easily destroyed. − − At last, settling down by the sea with Alice, Stacks reminisces about his deceased Nassi. − ==Featured characters== − * [[Wade Tobias Staczyk]] − * Sergeant Thompson − * Alice − * Reeta − * [[Nassi Staczyk]] (mentioned) ==Featured BattleTech== ==Featured BattleTech== − ===BattleMechs=== − * ''[[Guillotine]]'' − * ''[[Locust]]'' − * ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]'' (mentioned) − ===DropShips=== − * ''[[Leopard]]''-class − ==Featured units== + ==Featured planets== − * [[5th Lyran Regulars]] − * [[Foxhounds]] − * [[Eridani Light Horse]] (mentioned) − ==Featured planets== − * [[Szepes]] − * [[Zortman]] (mentioned) − * [[Timbuktu]] (mentioned) − * [[Sendai]] (mentioned) − * [[Terra]] (mentioned) [[Category:Short Stories]] [[Category:Short Stories]] [[Category:Works by Tom Leveen]] [[Category:Works by Tom Leveen]]
