Federation 03rd Mobile Suit Team Recons Zeon Bravo-3 Base

A trio of massive drive flares burst from the darkness as the Federation 3rd MS team drops into the deep Congo. Surrounded by thousands of trees, the 3rd team shoulders it's way through the dense foliage.

The echo of heavy cannon fire, and a nearby explosion are the first signs the team has that it's under attack. The shots are repeted three times in quick succession as the unseen, but well-prepared enemy units, set up a chain of fire. With a shot landing every second or two, it's almost impossible for Krigare or his team to estimate the number of enemies in the jungle.

"Where are they?!?" the perpetually skittish Adam Solaris asks, voice quavering slightly over the communications channel.

"This way! Gotta be! Damned Magellas, it's like they've mobilized the whole Zeon army against us!" Tanner says, forcing his massive GM Cannon into a lumbering run. "Adam, try to clear some of this damned detrius with your beam gun! I can't see through all this foliage!"

"And make myself a target? Like hell!"

"Jus..." Tanner stops mid-word as he steps into a small clearing. "Gotcha, sucker!" he yells, spinning his Mobile Suit to bear on the Magella tank in the clearing.

Unfortunately, the Magella fires first. It's massive cannon spitting fire, Tanner barely manages to get his shield in the way in time. The blast shatters the tiny piece of steel like a hammer shatters a dinner plate, but it buys Tanner enough time to bring his own cannon to bear.

Armed with one of the few weapons capable of completely destroying a Magella in a single shot, Tanner is more than confident in his Mobile Suit. The massive cannon barrel swings down even as the Magella bursts into motion, Tanner's shot striking a glancing blow against it's armor but doing no real damage to the tank. He's so surprised by his miss that he doesn't react in time as the Magella fills the clearing with a cloud of smoke.

Not about to let an enemy escape so easily, Tanner tosses one of his Mobile Suit's grenades. The explosion tears through trees and the Magella, gutting the damaged mobile weapon and locking the Magella Top in place with a sheet of twisted metal.

Even as Magella finishes off the crippled enemy with his light weapons, a faint whistling sound reaches his ears via the external audio pickups.

"Wha...?" is all Tanner manages to say as a trio of cannon shells drop out of the sky onto his Mobile Suit. One of the indirectly-fired cannon rounds misses completely, but the other two tear through his Mobile Suit's heavy armor. Bloodied inside his cockpit, Tanner spits out a tooth he broke when his head smashed into the equipment panel.

"Krigare! They've got an overwhelming advantage in this area! ... We've gotta withdraw before more of them show up!"

"Damn! ... Tanner, status?"

"Heavily damaged and withdrawing, with or without you."

"Damn... Okay, Hounds! Withdrawal time!"

Outcome: Tanner Jacobs heavily damaged, 03rd Mobile Suit Team gains 10 rp. One Magella Tank destroyed.
