Rapacious Tethys has gone to investigate the a new development in the southern hemisphere of Gaia, one where Her remote sensors suggest the conurbations of other Titans are infringing on Her territory, but She finds gracious Eos there waiting for Her, ready to claim it for Themselves. Tethys has chosen Her tertiary configuration of digitigrade legs, capacitor, dual sponsons, dual gun batteries, macro laser and claw. Eos is in Their secondary configuration of macro gun, laser battery, and hand.
Tethys has the initiative, but Eos isn't planning on letting Tethys exploit it and goes for the ambush.
Realising that Eos means business, Tethys slides into cover. It turns out Eos was detecting a vast tower of blue habitats!
Now the chase begins in earnest, with Eos attempting to line up a volley of laser fire, and slicing down buildings rather than Tethys.
Now it's time for Tethys to attempt to ambush the ambusher, but Eos swings around left instead of right, lining up a shot with Their macro gun!
Seeing how Tethys is tensing for a crew-operated explosion of action, Eos turns to present Their heaviest shields to Tethys, but open seeing the subtle body-language of multiple crew members, jumps to relative safety at the edge of the board. Tethys pursues!
Now Eos steps back and left coming alongside Tethys to deliver some punishment, but that's Tethys' plan as well and when the attack turns out to be a feint, pushes Eos back up against the edge of the battlefield with a punishing fusillade of gunfire!
Eos can't risk a ring out, and comes about to return fire, first a burst of macro gun fire to break shields and armour, and then another salvo of laser beams focused on Tethys' leg in the hopes of slicing it off. Tethys is prepared, intercepting some beams with shields previously focused on Her rear and blocking others with shields over Her own macro laser, and She seizes the initiative!
The Titans pause to let the dust settle a bit, charging themselves for the final push before the ceasefire order comes down from the orbiting Hecatoncheires.
Now Eos makes a push, coming in swinging, with a hard right elbow hammer hammering Tethys back through the yellow and green habitats behind Her, and following up with jump jets to smash Their macro gun through Tethys' starboard gun battery. Tethys is not idle though, and cognisant of the strategic position hammers down the first tall blue building while detecting a pink building nearby. Eos tries to grapple Tethys, but only succeed in pulling Her around to face Them!
Now Tethys goes after Eos' other tall building, and while Eos detects a third such tower amidst the billowing clouds of ash and pulverised concrete, the second is sent crashing down with a tectonic crash! Eos sees an opening, however, and makes one last ditch attempt to push Tethys off of the battlefield before the hammer comes down, and it fails at the last. While Eos batters Her, Tethys detects more pink habitats far across the flattened rubble of the battlefield, and carries the day!
The final score is 22-20, for Tethys! Tethys' detected 22 pink habitats to Eos' 18, and suffered only the loss of a gun battery (2VP). Glory to Tethys and Her crew!
