01x07 - Protect and Survive

[bunniefuu]

this is the inner sphere thousands of

planets colonized by humankind once it

was United under the Starling but for

the last 300 years it has been consumed

by Savage

Wars until a new enemy appeared

mysterious Invaders known as the

Clans powerful and ruthless they struck

like lightning attacking every sector at

once but they made one big mistake they

attacked my home planet now in the

spirit of the star league ancient

enemies have reunited and we're going to

take back our

[Music]

galaxy

greetings cousin Adam I am pleased to

hear of your recent success in

appropriating Clan Weaponry my Engineers

are already incorporating the technology

gleaned from your reports on their

Elemental armor suits but sadly I must

turn down your request to replace your

inoperative

battl as you know your official mission

is intelligence gathering not

combat we're practically on somerset's

doorsteps and archon cuts us off off at

the knees I know Adam somerset's my home

too but by acquiring Clan Tech we've

done more for the inner sphere than

anything we could have accomplished on

Somerset that doesn't help our families

major I just got a message from the jump

ship strong bow one of their drop ships

went awall they think it might be headed

our way have Franklin report to flight

deck B whoa you're trusting that guy

with a Banshee I need a pilot out there

and unless you can earn your wings in

the next 5 minutes he's my only option

so tell me something Franklin where did

a shipping Merchant like you learn to

fly an arrow fighter did you imagine

that you were the only believer in Cross

training not any more than I believe

I'll ever get a straight answer out of

you drop ship in sight major this is

Major Adam Steiner of the affc hailing

drop ship head jira do you copy repeat

this is Major Adam Steiner hailing drop

ship Hira major look out Franklin what

in blazes are you

doing hold your fire oh guys settle down

we're on your side identify yourselves

immediately this is Major Victor Steiner

Daven of the 12 Donal guard Victor

Steiner davan as in that's right Mr

Sakamoto you just fired on the prince of

the Federated

Commonwealth I know what I saw major

they were training their lasers on you

I'd like to avoid an international

incident Franklin so I suggest you do

what you do

best keep your mouth

shut major Steiner I want this man taken

into custody immediately I'm taking full

responsibility for the incident gayen

it's my fault for ordering radio silence

I I would have done the same thing in

your position major yeah would you send

a Dr to do the sh**ting that's enough

gayen let's not forget the draconus

combine are allies

now your highness we'd better have that

shoulder looked at you're letting a drag

doctor treat the prince for your

information Captain Cox this drop ship

and jump ship are staed entirely by

combined Personnel Victor I suggest you

return to the hijera immediately for

your own safety that's ridiculous my

Somerset cousin leads a fine example of

cooperation with our draconus

allies I'm pleased you admire my work

but with all due respect you didn't go

awall from your jump ship just to

evaluate my unit okay that's correct

major I'm here for something far more

important as you may know Captain gayen

Cox and I were stationed with the 12

Dono guard on trell

[Music]

Juan Victor we can't hold him here much

longer hang in there

gayen the Clans should hit us pretty

hard

[Music]

gayen was doing his best to hold the

pirate Canyon

Bridge g*y we're almost finished here

[Music]

everything's in place

kayen pull back

[Music]

now one plan Mech made it across and

chase us into the

caverns

[Music]

nice sh**ting V Badger one to denm come

in I need a new Vector to the front

negative Victor you and Galen are to

return to the base immediately but

Colonel they need us at the front that's

an order

major you see that drop ship get in it

both of you I will not abandon my people

they're getting cut to ribbons out

there you want to go down in history as

the man who lost Tran there's nothing I

can do about that now but I refuse to be

known as the man who lost the prince of

the Federated Commonwealth get him out

of

here Colonel I'm not I'm really sorry

about this Victor don't that was the

last I ever saw of

Tran before long I I found myself

stranded here in the butler system on an

inoperable jump ship you see major I

need your jump ship to return us to the

traan system so we can rejoin our

battalion

I want to State for the record that I've

been against this plan from the start

don't mind gayen his fla suits wrapped a

little too

tight my orders are to see the prince

safely back to the fedcom Outpost on Sue

Dayton you know I will not abandon my

men simply because I happen to be the

archon's son our jump drive needs a week

to recharge before we can go anywhere so

in the meantime why don't you work out

your travel plans aboard the katana

I think you'll find the accommodations

there're a little more

comfortable Adam I radioed the strong

bow and told them the prince is safe and

sound unfortunately their jump drive

will require 3 weeks worth of repairs so

we've been ordered to escort Victor back

to the fedcom base on sud we're two

jumps away from home and they're making

us turn around Adam if you don't mind my

asking what can we possibly do for

Somerset with only one working Mech

[Music]

[Music]

gentlemen allow me to show you to your

quarters Victor get

down we are merely taking them into

storage Steiner deian Sama nice

souvenirs major where'd you get get him

more importantly why do draas have free

access to such highly sensitive material

Mr Sakamoto played a pivotal role in

helping us seize those suits

Captain I don't know what kind of

operation you think you're running here

major but you have the heir to the

throne on your ship I suggest you start

taking his safety a little more

seriously these suits are

fantastic we could use them to

infiltrate the clans on

traan and Somerset you make a very

tempting offer cousin all hands this is

Lieutenant Rachel

Spectre all off-duty Personnel will

immediately report to drop ship

[Music]

[Music]

Quon kayen what are you doing just

keeping watch you can never be too sure

[Music]

get some rest Captain that's an order

listen I didn't need babysitting on

trell Juan and I certainly don't need it

now

[Music]

[Music]

yeah

[Music]

major we got trouble in the prince's

quarters I'm investigating

now

Hawk engineering shut down power on

turbo lift one you all right your

highness forget me I want that

Intruder major there's been an attempt

on the prince I'm pursuing the intruder

through turbo lift

one

docking collar a huh our buddy was

heading for the

quidan search the jump ship Lieutenant

insector seal Out The Quon and conduct

an immediate head

count I want every single crew member

accounted for if anything's happened to

the prince I'm holding you personally

responsible oh kayen give it a rest I'm

fine all Personnel are account for Adam

with the exception of Franklin

Sakamoto no one has seen him on The Quon

or the katana what about the

[Music]

Hira put your hands right and see

him no we want him

alive care to explain just what you were

up to I cannot say maybe you want to try

that's enough

captain now Franklin you better say

something in your defense because it

looks like you're either the Assassin or

you're protecting him either way he's

guilty major I want him remanded to my

custody so he can face the proper

authorities we have no hard evidence of

his guilt we don't I found these in a

ventilation shaft aboard the

hijera

yours I

believe I simply can't accept that

Franklin would be an assassin what are

you hoping to find in his

quarters looks like someone left his

locker

open uh-uh it's been forced I want the

prince put under 24-hour guard I still

say you'd be safer on our ship I will

not be carried away from another crisis

like some helpless Royal fop I will

always have enemies gayen whether an

outside Invader or a traitor from my own

family it comes with the title what do

you plan to keep me under guard when we

Counterattack the clans on Tran you

still haven't told him about our orders

this whole thing may have an

upside now if the fedcom brass think

Victor's in danger then someone else is

going to have to escort him back to sud

leaving us free to move on to Somerset

careful Adam you just made yourself a

[Music]

suspect Franklin why will you not

confess your actions bring disgrace to

the crew and the entire draon is

combined hey I got orders doc all

non-essential Personnel can find a quot

ERS I failed to see why all kitas should

be punished for the actions of one

individual figure it out on your own

time all right which one of your buddies

swipe the elemental suit why is one

missing tell me who you're working with

[Applause]

[Music]

now

[Music]

gayen what's going on out there

gayen gayen is in dispos right

now is

he just unconscious but I've got other

plans for you Victor

Stevens but why let's just say there are

factions within the Federated

Commonwealth who favor a more worthy

successor to the

throne hold her right there

pal anybody moves princess

history stand aide maer I am now the

prince's only

[Music]

hope Franklin try to get him to one of

the outer decks do you copy Franklin do

you

copy yes major I believe I

do

you must surrender St your weapons are

depleted not quite

now

a

[Music]

[Music]

huh

[Music]

so how did you know the Assassin was

Stevens when you found me aboard the haa

I was examining their computer log

searching for proof that they were

targeting you before I fired upon them I

found an entry that a self-destruct

program had been implemented in the

prince's Mech clearly someone aboard the

prince's ship was the Assassin since I

could not determine which was the

culprit I had to wait for him to make

another move when I learned of the

missing Elemental suit I knew the

Assassin would strike again why didn't

you tell me any of this would you have

believed me Mr Sakamoto I am forever

indebted to you for saving my life it

was a matter of gidy of Honor even if

you are the son of my enemy when you

attain the throne I hope you will not

make me regret my

actions you've got a brave crew major

we'll need their brand of Valor on Tran

and

Somerset I'm afraid that's not going to

happen but what about our

[Music]

plans Victor Steiner davon's courage in

battle narrow escape from the clan

forces has spurred the men and women of

the Battalion to incredible of heroism

morale remains High among the

underground resistance on trailwalk

thanks in no small part to the continued

survival of our

Prince I'd hate to think where we'd be

if you hadn't made it Victor this clan

invasion is bigger than either of us

cousin and like it or not we each have a

greater responsibility to the entire

Commonwealth than to any one planet or

unit you know you've gathered a great

deal of Intelligence on these Clans

cousin I suggest we put it to good use

and plot a strategy for the Clans

[Music]

defeat
