Re: A Walk In the Sun
Elsbeth watched the line of Q'sa scatter before her and the Explorer. She gave into the urge to try and run into or over any unfortunate Q'sa that might present themselves as reasonable targets along her way. So, her left hand reached out to the controls and jerked the wheel back and forth as the Q'sa scattered, trying to make the path a little less predictable and to tag anyone foolish enough to try and shave it too close. Since none of her opponents had yet jumped up onto the Explorer - though she knew that was only a matter of time. Still, this video game-like activity preoccupied her, while her laser carbine sat waiting and ready, trained on the passenger side door. And while the Explorer generally made its way towards one of the LAW wielding Q'sa positions.
Elsbeth did note out of the corner of her visor, the small explosion in one of other the heavy weapons Q'sa positions. She nodded and hoped that was Victor. At the very least, Elsbeth took heart in that not that entire universe seemed to want her dead. She appeared to have some other ally, somewhere. Elsbeth was pretty sure it was not Tiny and Garrow, since they seemed to be preoccupied with their own troubles, but it could have been. Perhaps whoever it was would be able to pick up the pieces of her when all was said and done.
Having seen Tiny take a couple of direct hits, Elsbeth could only hope that the Sergeant and the Recon Mech were okay. She tried the secure comm frequency that John, Victor and she had shared, though she feared it was also being jammed. Her tone was urgent, more out of expedience and multi-tasking than anything else, as she spoke "Sergeant, are you okay? Sergeant Garrow? Are you hurt?" Elsbeth frowned as the sinking feeling that Garrow might not be all right settled into the pit in her stomach, but pushed on, "If you can, lay down covering smoke and disperse the crowd. Inflict maximum damage. Or retreat, if necessary." Then Elsbeth refocused her attention and went back to trying to get at least one satisfying crunch and to feel the bump of having the Explorer's treads roll over something that was more than a rock, but probably just as inanimate by the time the vehicle she was wielding was through with it.

Notes:
1) You get to roll any vehicle damage - I am not sure if she hits anything or what damage an
Explorer would do. Are Q'sa worth more points than a mailbox?
2) Do you need more drive rolls? Feel free to roll them, if it speeds things up.
3) Oh, and I did not apply any multiple action penalties, since I did not know if she would
get a chance to fire her carbine or would need more drive rolls ...
