Everyone to cover! and hide as well as you can. It's better to see before being seen.

You weren't quite sure what to expect. Something dangerous no doubt, and everyone had the self-preservation to seek cover as soon as the sounds from below got loud enough. The horizontal door ground open with much wailing of sirens and flashing of hazard lights, and from deep within the moon's mines rose a freight elevator carrying what you could reasonably assume to be a very angry mining foreman.

Not just any miner, but one in a huge, clanking machine. No doubt dredged from its duties in some subterranean cavern, it bears a massive claw, drill and laser. The entirety of its hull is clad in thick armour plates, and it looks like it could fight its way out of any cave-in. You're starting to detect a theme among these rebels.

Your internal narration is interrupted by a booming voice.
"So, they decided to send a Commissar to judge and execute me? Fair enough, I didn't expect any better from the lapdogs Kilian uses to clean up his mistakes. Now hold still and close your eyes, you'll be able to explain yourself to the Emperor soon enough!"

The blast door you entered by slams shut, of course.

[Jerick]

Get Mergen to hit the legs with Krak grenades, have the others focus fire on the laser to see if they can disable it.
While you draw it's fire and try to get the main body with your krak.

[kaian-a-coel]

aim for the laser with anything that can damage it, and the cockpit. It shouldn't be agile or fast enough to be a real danger in close combat. just keep out of range.

"Mergen! Aim for the joints!" you yell, dodging a flying cargo canister.

The walker continues stomping about the hanger, swiping at cover and PDF with equal measure. It was never meant for combat though, and has great difficulty getting remotely close to hitting a person. In addition to the emergency lighting, the space is lit by intermittent lasfire and slug rounds sent from the PDF scattered around the monster. None of them leave any more than a slight dent or scorch on its thick hull though, only Mergen's krak grenades having any noticeable impact. The reflective canopy in the center of the beast seems just as tough, presumably made of the same materials as starship view-ports. The name escapes you for the moment.

The joints do seem to be the weakest points, and a few lucky kraks land directly on them. Chunks of metal are stripped from the semi-delicate machinery, and they begin to weep sparks and fluid. Jorgan notices this damage and stops trying to chase the PDF around, instead drawing back against a wall with much grinding and screeching of tearing metal. With the walker bracing itself in a defensive posture, the underslung laser starts to light up.

"You've lived long enough, scum!" Jorgan hisses, voice dripping with hatred. "Taste the searing purification of my... oh damnation, not now! Work, you useless pile of scrap!"

With the momentary break in life-threatening action, you take in the overall situation. Mergen is gesturing that he's out of krak rounds, leaving just a handful of frags, his two demolition charges, and your own solitary krak. None of the PDF seem to have been hit, and are holding fire for now. Jorgan has positioned himself back on the freight elevatus by accident or design, and the laser is flickering on and off. The walker itself is inert, with smoke rising from damage all over it. Now that you legs are still, you notice the handrails on them that are used by crew to board.

You've got the chance to finish this once and for all. But it'll take a daring plan of attack, probably involving explosions and personal risk/heroics.

[Dsarker]

Climb on his back, open the hatch, get Mergen to drop a frag in, and jump away.

[Shade-o]

What if he locked it?

[Dsarker]

Sword through it.

[Jerick]

Get in close and Det pack it!

[Kestrel_6]

Set-pack the underside. Then walk away as you detonate it, back to the flame, inspiring your troops.

BTW What the Emperor-Spawned Hell?!?! FOUR CORPORALS IN A SQUAD?!?!?! NO SQUAD HAS FOUR CORPORALS!!!!!

[Dsarker]

Remains of a company.

[Kestrel_6]

Thy makes sense then. But wouldn't the enemy have killed the NCOs?

OOC: Dsarker, you have been kinda dark on the Sky Searcher front...

[Shade-o]

I'm going to need some sort of consensus here.

You want to apply what weapon to what target?

[mcclay]

Take the charges and set them on the bottom of the elevator. Then send the elevator up and blow the charges, mecha goes through the roof and you get out of here alive.

[Shade-o]

The elevatus is already at its highest level in this hanger, and you can't spot any controls on it or the hanger floor. Presumably they are somewhere safe from being crushed by cargo and vehicles.

You do spot a small access port on the edge of the elevatus though, enough for a worker and tools to reach its innards for repairs and maintenance.
