Starhound Rulebook (1981)

PULLING HARD TO THE RIGHT, THE PILOT OF THE VULTURE HEAVY

FIGHTER SLOWLY CAME IN LI NE WITH HIS QUARRY.  HIS HEAD UP

DISPLAY SHOWED THE TARGET IMAGE MOVING TO THE CENTRE OF HIS

FIELD OF FIRE, RANGING MARKS MOVING INWARDS FROM BOTH SIDES

OF THE SCREEN AS HE REACHED THE OPTIMUM FIRING POSITION.

THEN THE IMAGE WAS COMPLETELY BOXED IN, AND THE COMPUTER

WAS FLASHING A ' LOCKED- ON ' SYMBOL. STEADILY HE DEPRESSED

THE FIRING PEDAL, AND TWO BEAMS OF INTENSE LIGHT SPED OUT

FROM HIS SHIP AS TWO DISRUPTORS OPENED FIRE, FOLLOWED

ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BY A SCREAMING NOISE AS HIS TWIN ROTARY

CANNON BEGAN THEIR 2000 ROUND PER MINUTE SONG OF DEATH. AS

IF IN SLOW MOTION, FIRE BLOSSOMED OUT FROM THE ENGINES AND

HULL OF HIS TARGET AS THE ENEMY PILOT TRIED DESPERATELY TO

ESCAPE HIS ATTACKER.  AGAIN HIS TACTICAL COMPUTER SHOWED THE

TARGET BRACKETED IN ITS SIGHTS, BUT AS HE PREPARED TO

ADMINISTER THE ' COUP DE GRACE; ' A LOUD BUZZING IN HIS HEAD

PHONES AND A SERIES OF URGENTLY FLASHING LIGHTS ON HIS

DISPLAY SCREEN TOLD OF AN ENEMY SHIP CLOSING FAST FROM THE

REAR. HIS TARGET NOW FORGOTTEN, HE YANKED HIS CONTROL STICK

TO THE LEFT, TRYING TO OUT TURN HIS OWN PURSUER. FAST AS HIS

REACTION WAS, HIS OPPONENT WAS FASTER. THE CONSOLE IN FRONT

OF HIM SEEMED TO SWELL OUTWARDS; AND EVEN AS A SCREAM

TOOK FORM IN HIS THROAT, HE WAS SURROUNDED BY A 

BLINDING LIGHT, AND THEN - ONLY DARKNESS.
