Surprised they stood down from their Khan dying to a melee headshot from a light mech. :thunk:

Maybe specifically because it was a light charging an Assault they respect it on some minor level? I dunno.

They seemed to be under pretty strict orders not to get involved for anything less than someone opening up on them directly.

Wow. That's a death worthy of the any Immortal Warrior HoloVid; couldn't have scripted it better if you planned it that way.

No chance to eject either, just straight up pasted in his 100 tonner cockpit by a flying spider 'superman one-two punch'.

I'm personally imagining that Grier managed to sweep the leg first, and the Spider pilot reflexively reached out and grabbed the left arm and head on the way down.

Naw, not Pacific Rim enough.

Spider flies in, lands and simultaneously moves forward with a left jab, clips the arm, then over-extends with a right cross straight through the cockpit; as Grier closes his eyes to accept his fate in that time dilation last moment, he pitches the Kraken forward to try and fall on the Spider. The Spider pivots, not fast enough, and gets its leg snapped off.

Wow, one helluva finish there, cross counter to the head and all that. Now to await the political fallout certain to result from this...

Player MVP: Korean Robert's Roughneck for his thirst for Clanner heads, honorable mention to the Spider for the glorious cross counter that ended it all

Because they both accepted their fate but made their “deaths” count

I will also note that The khan got this kills, so he died happy.

Goon MVPs: Spider for the deathpunch - Korean Robert for star player performance over the last few missions, being a rising champ, and setting up the slap. I can't NOT credit the headshot that made the spider possible in any good conscience.
Clan MVPs: Hunchie IIC for dictate the terms of engagement and delivering. Siedman for having the balls and grace to set up the scene and trial as he did - and more than that, may be, just maybe, make the players buy into the idea that he was serious about it all. Fair's fair. Two mvp's for 2 mvps.

Yep. More importantly though, the liberators of Luthien are a bunch of gangsters, peasants, and foreigners. The one to crush the clan leader was even a woman. The hard liner combine people are going to be apoplectic with rage. The question is will this all be buried under propaganda, used to undermine the existing social order, or simply cleaned up with a few assassinations?
