La journée n'aurait probablement pas été complète sans au moins un saut, car Ontos a griffé une main sur l'épaule de Matryoshka pour attirer l'attention de Sparr. L'arrillerie-barrage avait assommé ses communications à longue portée, et Glashya n'était pas particulièrement heureuse d'être presque fracassée juste parce que la compétitivité de Sparr lui a permis d'obtenir un doigt de déclenchement extra-déchirant.
Les communications à courte portée fonctionnaient bien, cependant.
"Non pas que je n'apprécie pas que tu essaies de nous libérer de la poêle, mais ça aurait été plus agréable si tu avais attendu l'autorisation des gens à distance avant de décider de perdre quelques rondes de danger-près des amis."
Comme les deux cadres étaient à côté l'un de l'autre, la taille dimunitive de l'Ontos se tenait à peine haut de la poitrine jusqu'à Matryoshka, et avec la moitié de la masse si l'on excluait tout éclat frais incorporé dans le cadre. Derrière elle a posé le coureur presque complètement effacé qui a pris une coquille de 105 mm et entrelacé par un nombre incalculable de pignons de presse. La seule preuve qu'il n'y avait pas de pilote était l'absence totale de sang sortant de l'endroit où le pilote aurait dû être assis.
"Je t'apporte tes dix, deux ou rien si on creuse Kewal dans une de ces dunes."

Personal Style: Katya tends to dress in many light layers with varying degrees of cleanliness, partially out of modesty, but mostly for temprature-control and ease of changing appearance. The drawback to this habit is that she's always left carrying many of these discarded layers with her on prolonged trips. Often these end up as a mess pile on the floor of her Frame.

Cards On The Table
General Skills:Positional warfare and infiltration. She understands that getting to the best ground first is often half the battle, the other half is getting to it unseen. She is particularily good at finding routes for their mechs to close with the enemy undetected.
Even more sneaky when not inside a Frame.
Inventory/Possessions:
-A compact belt-fed .30 cal loaded with a long belt of armor-piercing.
-Spotting scope/GTLD. (UV/IR/Thermal with laser rangefinder, 20-60x magnification)
-Clothes, on floor of her Frame
-A few grease stains
-About a quarter dozen anti-tank grenades... somewhere...

History
Years of Combat Experience: 4
Background: A former Martian freedom-fighter her unit was issued with second-hand FRAMES after the PU was already well-equipped to deal with the threat. Constant supply-problems and frequent breakdowns from skating across blood-red sand-dunes meant her squad operated under-strength in guerilla-warfare, often the pilots functioned as light infantry while the few remaining FRAMES provided much-needed fire-support to their guerrilla campaign.
On more than one occasion, civilian-FRAMES were pressed into service either just to keep a few more frames running, or retained simply because their smaller size was better suited to the sort of operations they conducted. It was during these times Glashya's mannerisms became compared to that of a stray alleycat, the moniker stuck. That, and her unit's tendancy to rig-up impressive improvised rocket-barrages to soften-up the ITA garrisons before a raid.
When the war ended, their independence secured, there was a massive draw-down and disarmament of their forces as the colonists focused its resources on rebuilding and caring for their war-torn people, an act that quickly highlighted the difference between the colonists and the ITA imperiralists. Glashya's unit was one of the first to be scrapped, handing in many of their converted FRAMES for economic development, while nearly all their best FRAMES ended up being conglomerated into a single centralized unit under the ITA paramilitary.
Angered by her new vestigial purpose in the military, sitting behind a desk, she quit and stole an ungaurded surplus FRAME and hit the mercenary-market to settle some old scores.

Ontos



Technical Data
Model Number: AMF-68A "SANI"
Code Name: Ontos
Manufacturer: Hammond industries
Dimensions: 3.78 meters tall
Weight: 5800 kg

Armaments
Fixed Armaments: AGL-6 Grenade Launcher, for anti-personal and close-protection purposes.
Shoulder usually mounts a twin 106mm recoilless rifle when the FRAME isn't helping haul any specialized heavy (static) weapons.
Hand Armaments: ShPG-N "Shpagin" Gas-operated double-barreled autocannon, either in 23x115mm or 14.5x114mm, or some combination. Although the low-velocity 23mm HE shells lack armor penetration, they have significantly better fragmation characteristics than 20mm autocannons against soft targets. The 14.5mm option has better penetration. This dual-caliber approach was taken to keep the platform lightwieght, manageable, and reliable.

Equipment & Design Features
Equipment: A multi-spetral jammer mounted along the waist for defeating guided missiles, while a shotgun-like active protective system mounted in the FRAME's 'crown' deals with anything that gets through like a very-long-standoff radar-guided ERA-plate. This reduced the need to plaster the SANI's frame in bulky panels, plates, or fitting immense shields. However, the APS can malfunction, which will sound a warning within the cockpit similar to when it has been triggered. Both systems will give an indication on where the operator took fire from, and may attempt to some form of response.

Miscellaneous
Technical & Historical Notes (Made in Siberia)
Color Scheme: tan/brown/gray "wave" pattern
Anything Else: Something about the Frame using combination of a lightwieght electrical drive for the upper portion, and reliable hydraulic drive for the lower portion (which requires the main engine to be running).
