At a time like this, things seem to happen all at once.
- X's Strider has no controls, and no engine, but it does have the body segmentation one would expect of an insect or crab. Abdomen, thorax, head. Head implies brain. Segmentation implies weak point.
- Donighal's Strider begins bobbling and weaving on all three legs in an effort not to get hit. This is... not as successful as it would like. The rebels have never had air support before, so there aren't many routines or instincts it can fall back on...
- Annabelle's Strider pauses, tries to lift its booby-trapped leg- and staggers violently at the explosion.
There's fifty feet of Synth hellspider about to fall into the street head-first. As for the other two Striders, neither one is what you'd call long for this world.
