Mechwarrior Fanfic: Field to Field by Jean Rabe
Here’s a taste of a good Mechwarrior short story hosted over on Wizkids:
” The ground shuddered and stone dust belched up from a crevice that grew wide and jagged like the maw of some ravenous beast. Thel waited for everything to settle, then she padded toward the crevice, which stretched roughly twenty meters long and a third as wide—a little larger than she had intended to create with the pentaglycerine charges.She hated to scar a land already so terribly wounded, but it couldn’t be avoided. She needed to see what was buried below. It might help her employer, Izzel Devries, and thereby help all of Ozawa. Devries was the ruling family of the planet, and Thel had been working as young Izzel’s chief archeologist for nearly three years. She did her best to uncover inestimable relics of mass-destruction.
Should have used more precise charges, and smaller ones, she thought. She certainly wouldn’t need the other three she’d prepared, at least not up-top, and so she had carefully placed them on the seat of her rover. ”
