An excellent tale! Thanks for the humour of the farce. There are no 'pure' characters, are there? 
For upcoming stories, I would like to request one about some of the smaller people groups from the third set of bloodlines. I wouldn't mind seeing what sort of dilemmas they face.

MTAC are a bit smaller then the Battlemechs.
Industry MTAC are a bit like the Power Loader Ripley used in the Aliens ll Movie. While Combat MTAC would be a bit like the Wolverine Mechs from Command and Conquer 2 and 3.
I would say Elemental sized

"At some point Arek thought he heard a scream."
It might have been very well his own scream, under the effect of the nerve gas.
In fact it doesn't matter whose scream it was, since the whole thing ended up in screams anyway.

Every bunker except my own contains a canister of poisonous gas.
Even if everyone else dies, the General would live, provided the enemy did not hit HIS bunker first.
As to the MTAC:
you want to bring along a mechanized skeleton that'll thump the ground like god's own hammer."
Klar said, "MTACs shoot rockets."
I love that line!!!
Seems to me that an MTAC is the equivalent to the Elementals from Battletech 3050 era.
Abraxas does need to write a CCP authorized book. I mean his writing is so much better than so many of the hacks that are out there, that it is a wonder he is not published already!
Abraxas!!! Get 'er done!!! We are waiting ya know!!!

Love this story the MTAC bit is classic.
As for if they got the General I think no. At some point he heard a scream, i get the impression that if it had been the Generals bunker he would have just taken it. Stood there and stared down the oprative. The scream was more likely caused as the gas was released.

Arek rubbed his eyes. Klar, tell me that sounds wasn't a gun being ****ed.
Just noticed a typo. Should be "sound" in the above quote.
All in all, great story. Keep 'em coming!

Not a bad story, proves the saying, "there's no saints on the battlefield." What's most interesting is that there's a real life parallel currently. Some high ranking "militant" surrounds himself with "innocent" women and children so any attack against him is "murdering women and children" yet those same women and children strap bombs on their chest and walk into crowded shopping malls, bus stops, etc.

A bit smaller? Mechs in battletech are supposed to be around 30 meters tall.
Good story btw.
Oh and while I'm here... Any plans to continue with "Winter Came While You Were Away" and "Summer Breeze"?

Why was Klar the only one that had a weapon though? Wouldn't every soldier during a black ops mission be armed lightly but effectively?

...
So they'd kitted out in light, nonlethal gear. Tiny multiburst grenades locked to EM, instahardening foam bombs, and subvocal communicators, along with whatever personal gear they needed. Everything was passive except the communicators and their relays, and their power use was negligible. Anything else that might show up on scanner, including heat-vision gear, was left behind.
There is the why.
Still it seems strange for a special ops team to not plan on taking some lethal force with them.
