Butts Wigglin' - H&C 6

The pilots head out after Downtime going west from the MapLea. Jekyll is now piloting a Jackhammer mech named Bandit. Their destination (after hearing rumors and intel from people on the crawler) is the abandoned Stardust Consolidate plant. It is also home to a mothlike Bio-Titan.   Taxman spots the Bio-Titan and is able to track it. The others head to the factory where they find three of the eight warehouses still largely intact. Before they reach the buildings, they fight and defeat a giant silkworm like entity. Jekyll opens the door and is greeted by a Gopher mech. A firefight ensues and the pilots manage to disable the attacker. Jekyll and Oilslick begin salvaging the warehouse. Ironsides discovers that he is under attack by someone or something attempting to gain remote control of his mech. He defeats the attack and find out that an AI of some kind had taken control of the Grasshopper and was now trying to leap into Crime Scene.   As this is going on three large worms emerge from the ground near where the Bio-Titan had perched onto the steel frame of a crumbling office building. One of them manages to haul itself up and starts to form a cocoon. The other two try to climb up and fail. They are then eaten by the Bio-Titan who takes off towards the other mechs. Taxman warns them and the group heads out to the north.
