Nicholas crouched down and lifted his rifle. The new power suit invented by the NUSSR, the Zaitsev Beitevea Deospejxai was a highly developed weapon system. He still had three hours of battery power left.
For almost two years Nicholas had been assisting the NUSSR with development planning and tactics for their new battle armor units. And for the past three months, he had assisted in the defense of a NUSSR colony against raiders. Another group of pirates was moving through the pass near him. He prepared and signled his second.
The dark green power suits blended well with the forest they hid in, the tanks and armored personal carriers below crawled forward, expecting little resistence from the mining colony. Both Nicholas and his second dashed through the woods, silent and deadly armored forms. He charged a Scorpion tank placing a shot from his rifle right through the commander who was scanning the forest ahead. His second dashed between two APC's, firing his grenade launcher into the back of one, fragments tore through the troops of raiders.
Both were behind cover before the responce could come. Machine gun and autocannon fire tore the trees to pieces, the tanks picked up the pace, hoping to clear the ambush area, and the front two went up in smoke as mines detonated underneath them. Nicholas grinned, the expression dark and grim. He ticked on his radio. "Ok lets pull back and let the militia finish these guys off."
As they turned away they looked at the feet of about six BattleMechs. Swearing Nicholas dodged to the side as his friend took a PPC blast full on. Nicholas ran, putting as many trees between him and his attackers. "Raven1 to any unit, enemy battlemechs four kilometers east of HQ. Repeat, enemy battlemechs four kilometers east of HQ. Get all units into defensive positions. Wait for..." his transmission was shut down as a wave of missiles burst around him sending him flying into the air. He landed hard and blacked out.
****
Nicholas woke with a massive head ache. The forest was dark around him, full of smoke, and dark figures in the black outfits of the raider infantry. He checked his battery, only an hour left. He checked his scanners and noticed that all the BattleMechs were engaged with Royal Rose units near the town. Grinning he stood up and swept his SMG across a group of the infantry, dropping a few before running for the town. He left the forest to a scene of the town litterely burning, and raider tranports already leaving as the hard pressed Royal Roses fought hard to defend the civilian population.
More Battle Armor fought around the Royal Roses, but not enough to keep the assaults away. Slowly they left the field, sure in their victory and the Royal Roses began to scratch their wounds. Nicholas walked down and recieved the report: 50% of the civilians dead, the town destroyed, and the whole unit was being pulled out. He swore fluently for a few moments.
"Marion. Get those NUSSR dropships down here assuming they weren't destroyed too." He sighed, "And I need a vacation. i'm heading to Solaris."
****
Nicholas opened the door to a place where he was pretty sure he could get a bottle of vodka and a table to himself. He walked in and noticed lurch still had his job, but had remembered enough to only pack a hold out in case of a mugging. Tossing it lightly to Lurch without looking he walked right up to the bar. "Vodka. Deliver the whole bottle to that table over there." He threw down a hundred and stalked to his dark table to nurse his drink and anger against pirates in general.

Nicholas looks up and sighs, "Son, I been kicking around this bar for years, and I don't talk till I see my vodka. And thats my god given right!" He stops, thinks, and then adds, "Oh and if its morning, a blueberry muffin and some OJ. Either way.."

Fox looks over at the NUSSR man who was just appeared. He leans over the bar, "Chihawk, his vodka is on me. For now." He looks over again at the man. "It can't be..." he whispers.

Let the man alone until that bottle is half empty.
You might get your head ripped off before hand!

Talen stares at Nicholas from when he enters the bar, to when he sits down. He watches as the newer regulars try and help him out. Talen simply glares more.
EDIT: This was my 1000th message since this version of Mordel's was created. That should bring me to what...like...10,000 posts! Lol!

Raven watches Talen, glaring right back at him for a few moments. He stands, wobles a bit, and then goes for his guns, only to find them not there. Grimmacing he glares at Lurch then at Talen. "You gotta problem punk?!" Lifting his empty Vodka bottle he calls for another one, then stumbles outside to sit on a bench...

*Slowly withdraws giving Jimmy the high sign to let him know I am aware of his concern*
"Ladies I do not know what is going on between those two but prudence dictates that I do not get in the midle of that"
*Sits back down still watching the two potential combatants *

Talen downs a few shots of JD, then stumbles over to Raven, fists clenched, eyes narrowed.
"Yeah, I gots a problem" Talen slurs, "Your face reminds me of things I like to hit."
The bar goes tense with anticipation of the fight, and Lurch looks eager for something to get punched. Talen glares at Raven and Raven glares back from the bench.
Ah...I am too old for this crap!" Talen growls as he sits down next to Raven. Raven nods and takes another drink.
"Hey, remember that time you killed my entire operation and I got really pissed off and dropped a dropship on your fiends? yeah...that was funny."
The two drink into unconciousness...

Raven pounds Talen on the back, and gulping a few shots of Vodka, most of which ends up on his shirt, he pounds Talen on the back, "Tho' were good times, man good times! Do you know what i'm thinking right now?"
Talen looks up, and slurring, "I know what you're thinking.."
"No no, I mean, like RIGHT now..."
"Like now?"
"Like now, it was like, good times."
"Good times."
"And man, I loved the King of Worms. I loved that man."
"Good times."
"Good times."
Raven goes to raise his glass in a toast, passes out and slumps down on to the floor snorring. Talen wheeps into his whisky about good times, and times where men were men, women were women, and Lyranians were unsure which they were..
Raven!
