"You rang Demi-Precentor?" Acolyte Jericho asked trying hard not to groan under the heavier 3g acceleration. The acceleration had increase just before he had been summoned to the bridge of the Union class 'Kerensky's Path.' Something was up...
"Peace of Blake be with you Acolyte," she responded. "We received a distress call from the planet. A militia outpost." She pointed to an overhead shot on a monitor of a base with fires burning and mechs and utility vehicles being hurriedly loaded. "The Precentor has authorised use of force. Your job is to clear them out."
He could clearly see two assault mechs. An Awesome and a Victor. He wasn't sure about the others though. No he could clearly see now two heavies too. Two Guillotines. That was getting into adverse force differential.
"And Acolyte Blair over on the Dangerous Knowledge?" He asked hopefully The other level II commander in the other Union burning down to the planet 50 klicks off their port bow. Blair's mechs were generally lighter and faster but could have been a great help.
Demi-Precentor Luga shook her head. "They have another assignment. Blake's wisdom guide you Acolyte," she said in the way of dismissal.
"Peace of Blake be with you Demi-Precentor," he returned while trying to not look like he was staggering off the bridge.
