Ambush By David Miskey#30379

Frank Nathan Stein got together with his friends Vlad and Quasi about trying to capture a mech and its pilot. They were still new at piloting mechs and hoped that their numbers would be enough to capture a mech. They agreed they would have to scatter if the pilot began shooting at them since he would most likely be a much better marksman than they as they were still getting used to the targeting systems.

They found a nice secluded spot on the moon and decided to wait in ambush for an unsuspecting pilot. They didn’t have long to wait before a lone Ant come strolling into their trap. They pounced upon the Ant in the hopes that it would see the three of them and surrender. Instead the Ant began firing its Viper lasers. Frank, Vlad and Quasi fled as agreed since this lone pilot was undoubtedly a much better marksman than all three of them together. He must have been or he would not have decided to fire upon a much larger formation.

Having failed in his quest to gain a mech and its pilot Frank devised another plan. He and his compatriots would join a clan under the pseudonyms of Frank N. Stein, Dr. A. Cula and Dr. A. Gon. He reasoned that if they could infiltrate a clan they would have better access to training. They might even be able to steal some fully loaded mechs in the process. The three of them decided to hang out in a bar on the moon favored by clan members in the hopes of being approached for membership. Luckily for them they did not have to wait long.

Not only were they recruited into a clan they were given three shiny, new Namtars that the clan leader had just bought. The three of them could not believe their good fortune. Never did they expect to be so trusted so soon. They would just have to bide their time and maybe steal some weapons and equipment in the process. Hopefully they would be able to do all this without raising any suspicion.

Feedback is always welcome.
