[Durability/Cannon/N1]

An auto-cannon round staggered Psycho, put him
on one knee. He had no idea where it had come from.
The next one almost knocked him over. Only the fact
that he was in armour mode saved him. He staggered
sideways towards the wreckage of one of the APCs
he’d blown up. Its armoured body would provide him
with a modicum of cover. He continued firing the HMG. Mowing people
down. He let it be known, through action, that anyone
shooting at him would be killed. Anyone who wanted
to run, could.
More cannon fire sparked off the carcass of the APC
as the VTOL that had been firing at him hove into
view above him. Psycho angled the HMG up and sent
tracers arcing up at the aircraft. He could hear the
rumble of an APC heading towards him. Another
cannon round from the VTOL hit him.

Psycho watched the suit energy in his Heads-Up Display.
Every cannon round was agony, staggering him, sending
him to the ground, breaking and rupturing things
inside him. The energy bar was the countdown to his
death. When lack of energy forced him out of armour
mode, the cannon fire would tear him apart.
The APC trundled into view. Well that’s that, then,
Psycho thought, still firing the HMG at anyone dumb
enough to shoot at him. To his surprise the APC turned
its back to him. They’re going to debus! he thought, exultantly,
that’s madness!
The turret on the APC turned to face him and the
auto-cannon round took him in the chest. It lifted him
off his feet and threw him back. He was astonished
when he realised that he was still alive. Though living
in pain.
