RAM Dump 4A3F Hex (Archival)


Mission time: 03:05:23.

Heading: NW over uneven ground, 0.94m/s. Weapon bearing 0° relative.

Right scan: Subvertical face of broken rock 1.2m high. Potential retreat path, climbable at piston angle of 30° inverted. Ground beyond evaluates as plantation of light wood, boles less than 6cm on 0.5m spacings, pattern negotiable.

Left scan: Steep ravine 9m wide, 15m deep. Negative potential retreat path: width exceeds spring launch capability; impact at depth exceeds suspension loading.

Forward scan: Four bogies in two groups, at +20° and -30° relative.

Silhouette comparison: All shapes equivalent Warner Fighting Chassis Model 0600.

IR check: 13°C, evaluates as subhuman.

ID code check: One friendly and three hostiles.

Tag mission orders: Paragraph 6, quote hostiles may wear friendly ID code unquote.

Rear scan: Clear and broken ground, evaluates as potential retreat path.

Mission time: 03:05:25.

Heading: NW over uneven ground—

INTERRUPT.

Silhouette comparison, forward scan: change in one member of Group Two Bogies, evaluates as weapon shift to -15°.

Interpretation: Hostile weapon bears with self-unit.

Initiate: Shift weapon, rotate -30° relative, elevate +2° relative. Load RF-Proximity Round with 800g propellant. Sequence firing—

INTERRUPT.

Interpretation: Target ID code evaluates as friendly.

Tag order: Quote hostiles may evaluate friendly.

Priority: Engage hostile targets.

Priority: Disengage friendly targets.

Priority: Engage hostile targets.

Priority: Disengage friendly targets.

Priority: Engage hostile targets.

Priority: Disengage friendly—

INTERRUPT.

Initiate: Select potential retreat path. Turn +90° relative. Elevate and invert leg pistons 30°. Scan for stable pattern of broken rock greater than 50cm2 at ≤60° incline. Place Pad 3 in center of stable pattern. Oscillate pad to verify stability. Stability established. Commit 50% balance weight by gyros to Pad 3. Scan for stable pattern at next—

INTERRUPT.

IR comparison, forward scan: Heat bloom ~ 1,500°C at locus of Group Two Bogey identified as friendly/hostile.

Interpretation: Weapon discharge at—

INTERRUPT.

RF comparison: Incoming warble at 9k-21kHz.

Interpretation: Hostile fire lock-on.

Initiate: Shift weapon—

INTERRUPT.

Initiate: Select retreat—

INTERRUPT.

Initiate: Shift weapon—

INTERRUPT.

RF comparison: Incoming warble steady at 33k-34kHz—

Gyro comparison: Impact ≤30G at 92° relative to perpendicular—

INTERRUPT.

IR comparison: Heat bloom ≥3,500° C across forward scan—

INTERRUPT.
