Purple Heart reaches Junction Seven at combat speed, the battered defense mech pacing her through smoke while Compa follows with emergency kits secured against her armored utility gear.
Three evacuation corridors glow green across the junction. Fuel-cell cranes loom over civilian transport gates, their automated arms frozen above loading platforms.
the battered defense mech
Hostile heavy crews entering both approaches. Western armor concentration is increasing.
Pirate Bay transports grind into view beyond the western span, followed by squat combat mechs dragging shield emitters. Eastern access lights flicker beneath approaching engine noise.
Seeder
Deploy the heavies. Take the fuel cells first, then crush the gates and trap every evacuation convoy inside the junction.
Leecher
Do not let Purple Heart reach the crane controls. Pin her between the corridors while our crews sever the network.
Compa
The emergency kits can keep the evacuation line moving, but the transport gates need protection. If those cranes fall, the corridors become useless.

Director's note
My Friend Noire aka Black Heart appear to help
“I’ll move to the transport gates and intercept the western heavies.”
SUCCESS (Superb Agility, rolled +0)
Purple Heart accelerates along the junction’s central lane, High Tech Wing carving a violet path through smoke. She reaches the transport gates as western heavy mechs enter firing range.
She plants herself between the armored crews and the civilian gates. Her blade flashes through the lead shield emitter, splitting its projector and collapsing the formation’s protective screen.
the battered defense mech
Western advance intercepted. Civilian gates remain protected.
A black-and-violet combat frame drops from the transit span. Noire, a young adult woman with long black hair, pale features, and a severe armored silhouette, lands beside Purple Heart.
Noire
You chose the gates. Good. I will make certain nothing reaches them.
Black Heart drives forward with a disciplined burst of energy fire, forcing the nearest heavy mechs sideways while Purple Heart disables their exposed leg actuators.
Compa
The gates are clear! I am routing the evacuation convoy through corridor one now!
