"How are we doing for ammunition?" asked Ruus. He, Jintar, the tank commanders of the other two super-heavy tanks and the recon platoon's commander stood around the main tactical display in the transport. The commanding officers of the other elements, Aamer's "Kad'b Marev" and Mirta's "Shereshoy" battalions' first two companies were doing the same on board their transports. It had been a priority diversion, there had been no time to stop and rearm.
"Fifty percent average across the board after draining our reserves. We don't have much to deal with that, either." replied Jintar, gesturing at the massive Bryn'adul construct slowly and steadily making it's way towards the walled city. The shabla thing was just positively covered in guns. Normally he'd have assumed that the tried and true maxim of appropriate application of enough firepower was enough to neutralize anything. He'd been at Yurb, however, and nothing really seemed to bring down these Bryn'adul monstrosities.
They'd expended a considerable amount of their anti-infantry HE-FRAG-FS on Kayrii, keeping the hordes of Charon at bay. There were about twenty four rounds left in the main gun of his tank. Four of those, armor piercing fin stabilized discarding beskar sabots, might've helped here. The rest were more or less useless here. The intelligence gathered by
Nyx N1X3
indicated that it was far more effective for a small team to get aboard these 'siege towers' and disable them from within. That would have to be something they did, otherwise there was no bringing that big shabla dema'golka pile of osik down.
Both his experiences at Yurb and the after action reports indicated one more thing; the Bryn'adul relied on their command structure to be effective. Without their command, the horde of monsters were just that. A horde of monsters, leaderless and uncoordinated. He'd bet his last paycheck that they'd start fighting among themselves to see who was really in charge. Frighteningly enough, it reminded himself of some of his fellow Mando'ade in the not-so-distant past. Ruus quickly pushed those thoughts from his mind.
"Plan's simple, then. We don't deal with it. Jintar, I want you to take Marev and Shereshoy into the city. Keep the shabuir who get past the wall away from the civies, and make sure those civies get out of here alive. Our Burc'ya in the Lastwall can hold as long as they can. Our fighters will provide air support, keep those Bryn gunships away from our transports. No airstrikes in the city. I don't want a repeat of Rodia. Alor'll surely have my shebs then. We're here to keep these people safe, not turn their home into more of a warzone than it'll become. Watch your sectors, it's going to be hectic urban combat. Remember, vode, ib'tuur jatne tuur ash'ad kyr'amur," ordered Ruus, voice steady and firm the entire time. He knew what he was asking them to do was not going to be easy. Not because it was dangerous, but because it was every Mandalorian's born instinct to meet their enemy in combat, and everyone with him today had something to say to the Bryn after Yurb.
"So while we get the milk run, haran are you going to be up to, alor?" asked Jintar, helmet tilting ever so slightly to the left in curiosity.
"Simple. I'm going to find one of the shabuir in charge, and I'm going to kill them. I'm confident that's the Knight Commander's plan as well. Jor, you're coming with me. We'll need someone to watch our backs while we go at the shabuir," he replied, the satisfying clack of a new magazine being inserted into his borrowed FL-01 Verpine Shatter Flechette Launcher punctuating his sentence.
Jintar looked like he was about to say something, and then instead just chuckled, "Well, alor, here he comes now." Indeed, there was the Knight Commander, looking like he was ready to kick the whole shabuir's nest into haran himself, with an oddly profound line about the Mandalorian mentality insofar as war was concerned on his lips.
"Conflict is the necessity of invention, Knight Commander. Without it, we grow complacent, and complacency leads to stagnation. Stagnation, a refusal to better ourselves in a way that doesn't piss off half the shabla galaxy is what leads to chaakare like Cadera and Australis," he said. "That, and we're getting paid very well." His allusion to the defining principle of the SuperCommando codex by which they conducted themselves elicited chuckles from the others assembled. "That said, i think I've got a plan you're going to like. How do you feel like cutting one of the heads off this monster?" As he waited for his answer, the transport touched down, and Jintar and the other tank commanders rushed down to the transport bay to board their tanks and leave. Nothing but a quick and quiet "oya" over comms was exchanged between himself, Jintar and the others. Once the others were more or less below decks, he added, "You and I both know that's the only way we end this."
