[3rd Person: Tao Kao]

The Crisis suit moaned as Tao pushed it to it's limits, it had been going as fast as possible (far faster than the battle codes dicated for optimum speed) for nearly an hour. The heat valve was going crazy. Tao pulled back on the throttle and eased it into a shallow pool of water. The water was good for cooling. As soon as the suit had cooled into it's acceptable limits Tao lifted off again. There was no time to spare the convoy couldn't hold out forever. Finally the forest ended and he came to canyon. A small convoy of two devilfishes were passing through it and Imperial guardsmen with a 'Chimera' APC were behind them harassing the devilfishes. Tao brought up the plasma rifle's aiming reticule on his screen and centered it on the tank's tracks. The rifle fired twice in succession, the first shot disapitated before reaching the Chimera while the second shot melted the left track to the gears, effectively immobilizing it.

The guardsmen looked up and fired a barrage of lasers at the suit. A few hit but the standard issue Imperial lasgun wasn't known for it's deadly armor piercing capabilities. Tao returned fire with the missile-pod, the duo slammed into two guardsmen killing them and incapacitating a few around them from the concussion. The other tank aimed it's large caliber barrel at Tao's suit. That was no Chimera, it was a heavy tank! The crisis suit leaped back from the edge as it exploded under Tao. "Kor'ui, I have a heavy tank in the canyon, Leman Russ" Tao said as more blind las-fire zoomed out of the canyon and over the crisis suit. "Understood Shas'vre, I'm patching you through to the Shas'o" the kor'ui controller said.
