Well i was thinking who would win in a battle. Phelan or Natasha? I can't get that thought out of my mind and since Natasha was killed by a lucky shot from a Jade Turkey i think, we never got to see them fight (unless i missed that)

It's quite simple. As good as Phelan is, and as good as anyone is for that matter, Natasha was by and far the best MechWarrior ever to climb into a cockpit. I hated the way she died! It did no justice or honor to her in the least. But just because she had a lame death, doesn't mean she wasn't the best. And she probably always will be!

I think she let herself die. Now before everyone starts to throw things at me. hear me out.
It was a lame move. She has been in tighter spots before. And the way I read it. It looked like she walked into it.
Joanna was good. But not that good. Natasha was getting on in years. She was haveing trouble with her age. and was worried that she would not die in combat, (As was Joanna)
So I think she let it happen.
But to answer your question. Natasha would

I think she could've found a better way to die in combat then that. Let's face it, there's no way anybody would've taken her out of the cockpit of a battlemech. if they tried she would have issued some sort of refusal. Probably kicked their butts for even trying. And then power her wheelchair back over to her 'mech.

Personally I think was written that way to disrespect Stackpole in the way he wrote Natasha and the Dragoons. I think he was given the opportunity to take her out and he did so in the most munchkin way he could find and that's how he did it.

I'm not going to say I agree 100%, but I can easily see this happening.

Do you really think they would do that to one of their most loved Characters. It sounds as if they just choose the first way that popped into their little heads, with no thoughts of the ramifications of doing that.

ya i thought thats what everyone would say. But you have to agree that Phelan was pretty good for a spheroid, how many can take down an elemental with just 1 punch  But yeah it seems that they just let Natasha die and drift off. kinda like they were through with her. And also on the rare occasion of Phelan's name being mentioned we haven't actually "met" him since those books.

Possibly 3rd best. Yorinaga Kurita and Morgan Kell could both beat her and anyone else in the IS and Clans......hands down.

Sure if you hate anything that isn't the Jade Falcons!
