Mechwarrior: Wild Rose

In this chapter, the Hussars face the pirates on the field of combat, and Marie finds herself matched against something she wasn't expecting.

Author's note: Chapters 14-16 are effectively parts 1-3 of one event. I've done my best to make them self-contained, but chapters 14 and 15 may still feel like they have abrupt endings. I'd rather put them out sequentially like this on my schedule, rather than have no posts for well over a month.

In this chapter, the Hussars deploy as a complete unit to root out the pirates at long last. Hopefully their own liason won't get them in too much trouble.

In this chapter, Marie recovers from the training mission, and reveals her past and motivations to her lieutenant.  Whether this is a smart move remains to be seen...

In this episode Marie takes flight, only to find that flying a nearly-forgotten 'Mech is not as easy as she'd hoped.  Her skills will be tested sooner than she expected...
