MAD STOMP

It was shortly after oh three hundred local time, and Sgt. Koyi Freetaa, along with several other GADF walker training graduates, had been indulging in a traditional pastime for young soldiers, binge drinking until they got kicked out of every bar on Treasure Ship Row, and of course they'd run into other troopers on a weekend pass. By now, about half the participants had dropped off and were sleeping their way towards a massive hangover, but the hard drinkers and aliens with a physiology that hindered alcohol's effects on them were still standing and stumbling back towards the barracks since the last call had been over an hour ago.
From somewhere back in the group, a voice called out. "I'd kill for a fat stack of pancakes right now."
Someone else shouted, "PANCAKES!" And from there, a ragged chant started to rise "PANCAKES! PANCAKES! PANCAKES!"
It was pandemonium as the drunken hivemind settled on a target for their hunger, and since the DFAC wouldn't open up for another hour and forty minutes, there was only one place the group could satisfy their need for carbohydrates, surgars, and greasy food, they were going to have to go back into Coronet City and find a Maclunkee's.
Lacking any transportation, the group spread out, some finding recruits for the Drunken Task Force, some going back to their bunks, but Koyi and her plastered platoon had stumbled their way into the motor pool. The trucks had been locked down for the night; cargo speeders, staff cars, and even bicycles were chained up so drunken assholes like them weren't going to steal them. Salavtion loomed in the far corner of the motor pool, a half-repaired GATE-13. The Tiger had half of its armour panels missing showing its inner hull, all of its weapons were removed, the cockpit was missing its armoured transparisteel windows, and the main embarkation ramp looked like it was fused shut. Spray-painted on one part of the armour that hadn't been removed yet were the words "MAD STOMP" over a boot print.
"OUR CHARIOT AWAITS!" Koyi called out as she started climbing up the leg, grabbing a banner that was drooping over the motor pool wall to help her up, but snapping the pole when she put her weight on it, falling back to the ground. As she picked herself up, one of the walker pilots made their way into the cockpit and lowered the entire vehicle to squat on the ground so that everyone could scramble into the topside embarkation hatch, or the hole where the main gun used to sit.
The walker quickly filled up with drunken GADF personnel, and while still standing on the upper hull, Koyi spun the banner that she had been holding onto, using it to point in the general direction of Coronet City as someone started playing music on the walker's external speakers and shouted, "DRIVER MOVE OUT!"
