Silent Storm - Mjolnir Dura

John detached the Havok from its magmount and let it float free. The device was on the same interception vector he was, so even if the enemy fighters took him out, the Havok was likely to destroy the target.

John checked the ETA on his HUD. In fact, he could almost guarantee it would.

“Damn it, answer me, John!”

“I’m here, Sergeant.” John activated his primary thruster and shot past the air-skimmer, barely seven kilometers above its dorsal hull. “But, Sarge, with all due respect . . . you really need to stop treating me like a kid.”

Whatever Johnson replied, it was lost to blast static.

Space flashed white everywhere but in front of John, and his HUD showed the Mjolnir armor’s shell temperature climbing way above the danger level. Priorities, though. As long as his HUD was still functioning, he was still alive.
