I feel a friendly fire incident coming up...

The remaining NT manages to get some last second shots off in Barqas direction, but they fail to save it from destruction.

Pilot name: John Freemech
Description: An energetic man with a fearsome beast of a goatee.
Releasing the Charge on your Railgun you fire on the NT, but it gets yanked into the air by Barqas charge causing your shot to miss, he's kinda lucky you didn't hit him there.

> Drop into stable firing stance and smack the NT down with a couple of disruptor blasts.

You quickly slam your mechs legs into the ground and slide to a rapid halt before firing at the NT with your disruptors, but they go wide, just as well that they did, Barqa was blocking a significant portion of the target.

Readily Available Salvage:
[HANDHELD] IW01-A-WC [Cannon]
- MAGAZINE: 5/5 Slug SPARE MAGAZINES: 2-Slug
Usable by: maart3n [hands]

You can only loot the handheld weapons from your enemies immediately, [you can grab them and they're ready to use after a brief software interface period] you have to wait for salvage teams to bring back the destroyed enemies and take them apart to get anything else.
Repairs/etc. if you feel they are needed will be timeskipped when possible/logical from now on, but as a warning, going back for repairs will also give your enemies time to regroup/repair.
Next roll will bring in the next player, Fail Flail

Take the cannon.
"Ready"

Can I keep the NT on my lance and use him as a shield the next time I'm shot at?

Nah, it's a bit too small for you to do that.

Very well then, I'll just throw it to the side.

For some reason this reminds me of power rangers...

Satisfied with how things went Harald calls over comms "They only scratched my paintjob, I'm ready for the next camp." but a little frustrated about how things went Markus grumbles "I'm fine as long as you guys double-tap the bastards." then after retrieving the Cannon from the fallen MAU Barqa calls out "Ready" to which Irvine agrees "Still good to roll here. What's our next move?" finally taking the initiative John shouts out "Since nobody else has any ideas, A4."
Just as you're leaving the camp, you the salvage team arrives along with both an engineering team to pick up Johann at which point Ivan opens up communications to you "Comrades, seeing how Johanns reactor is not playing nicely, we're moving Joan over to team 2 with you guys." only then do you notice that Joan is with them, how could you have missed that?
Arriving at camp A4, you spot a group of reaver units, an MAU and a pair of NTs, the NTs are of a different model to the ones you've already faced, the CA T-Dodo which is armed with a grenade launcher as well as tougher armour, the MAU is also a new model, a IWM02 Axe-e which is similar to the previously faced club but is armed with built in gatling guns in place of arms, and the same class of back mounted missile pod.

Fail Flail
----
Pilot Name: Joan
Description: A younger female pilot, hesitant to talk of her past. With her short stature, tousled blonde hair and bright blue eyes, most say she'd be quite becoming if it weren't for the series of neural plugs, cabling and scars that cover her body. While she tends to be rather quiet and listless while outside of her mech, once hooked up her personality flips, becoming headstrong and confident.
Ability: On a roll [Every roll, upon a 20 or 19 gains a +1 for the duration of the mission, however: Every roll, upon a 1 or 2 gains a -1 modifier for the duration of the mission. Can stack.]
After your journey with the salvage team, you meet up with team 2, you've not worked with them much, but from what you've seen they're a rather well rounded team.
Mech: Fervor
