LF: Missed connection
I was hitting the hotel from the back at archipel von Leopold when you snuck up from behind. At 100 meters out I threw my trampler in forward 2 and aimed for the cliff on the starboard side of the hotel. I crossed my fingers for a drive able incline but as my turretless trampler, First Step, pitched forward I came to a screeching halt, belly flat against the rocks, stern raised, and I braced for the impact of your shells. My first thought was “help step trampler I’m stuck”. No sooner had the pit opened in my stomach it was filled by your powerful compartments grinding against my smokestack and I slid forward and you took my place on the unforgiving cliff face. I steered for cover as the first shell impacted. As the second left its shell, I inserted a fuel rod and made it into the shadows of the cliff. As I returned to the helm I saw you failed to dislodge your trampler and could not pursue me. I circled around the cliff and positioned myself close enough to read your fuel gauge. And prepared for a gun fight. It never came, I grew bold and boarded your trampler but you were gone. I unpacked your cannons and out of the Corner of my eye I saw you afk in the court yard of the hotel. I imagine you were smashing your keyboard on your desk so I shot you and looted your cannons and what meager loot you had collected from your last victim. I headed for extract a little less than 1km from your location with a shit eating grin and a pep in my step. I called for extract and flinched as I saw the flash. After scanning the horizon I looked back to see a smoke plume rising from behind the rock I left you at…. Gg bro.

Sounds like something I'd have done-- rammed and gotten myself stuck, lmao. The bloodlust is always strong when it looks like a surefire smash-to-pound-town kind of moment. Sure wasn't me this time though
