[bunniefuu]

previously on battl Tech prepare to be

destroyed somerset's been attacked

presenting major Adam Steiner highness

by your request I hereby volunteer to

lead a unit to liberate my home World

Somerset Captain miles Hawkins Federated

Commonwealth you Smugglers are busted

you can continue your duties aboard the

drop ship quidan and jump ship Katana

but under my command the ship is going

back where it belongs the draon

come they're taking it back in

pieces you've got Junk Jets and all we

can do is float great plan school

boy I will serve under you for now

welcome to the first Somerset Strikers

this is the inner sphere thousands of

planets colonized by humankind once it

was United under the star league 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 star league ancient

enemies have reunited and we're going to

take back our

[Music]

galaxy

[Music]

I can think a classier places to scare

up Mech Warriors than this armed pit in

case you forgot every good Pilot's busy

fending off The Invasion Force which

leaves us with nobody to fill out our

units except for the lowlife mercenaries

who hang out on this kensky forsaken

Rock

pus why is it the biggest Kirks always

stick their names on buildings I thought

your Intelligence Division busted that

hood yeah we never could make any of the

charges

stick come on sounds like

[Music]

trouble play the streets people security

me coming through

a

leaving us so soon

Martinez room service not to your

liking that was the craziest display of

Reckless Mech jockeying I've ever seen

that's our

man lousy feds they got no regard for

the legitimate businessman trying to

shut me down and over what a few minor

infractions I am a warrior of Clan Jane

Falcon the dealings of the merchant cast

are of no concern to me my point exactly

with you guys taking charge of this

system I'm thinking I can run things

without undo interference plus you get

10% straight off the top off the books

of course H I will admit the idea of

gaining a foothold in this sector

intrigues me such a victory would earn

me great honor from my Galaxy Commander

so we got a deal a deal you refer to a

trial of possession for your planet Quia

deal trial whatever you want to call it

what forces do you be to defend yourself

what do you mean bid all I got a lance

of five mechs very well I shall use only

two omnimex and we will engage your

forces at the hills due north of your

city Lord CL all you got to do is Walts

in and I'll hand you the keys you will

address me as star Colonel Kristen

Redmond quf sure

whatever AF well bargained and

[Music]

done what am I offered for one late

model fed rat spy slightly damaged how

about an even trade Titus Martinez for

my battle Mech Bon Ryder you got some

nerve busted in here unannounced you

think one crummy spy is enough to get

your rig out of hot martinis here had

enough evidence on him to shut you down

but good

tyus didn't leave yourself much to

bargain with Ryder how do you know I

didn't make

copies oh and uh have them wax it will

you nobody likes a doll

[Music]

Mech bolon ryer might be you owe him

something major Adam Steiner Captain

miles hackey first Somerset Strikers

major Steiner huh you'd think the name

could have brought you a better

rank can we talk for a second Pony up

for a game you can talk all you want

that was a very impressive display of

Mech piloting this

afternoon you here to talk business or

do you just want to stroke my ego

we did some research on you pal strong

service record but you got drummed out

for

insubordination my co couldn't cover his

poker debts so he gave me a dishonorable

discharge serves me right for hustling

the old man look I'm raising a unit to

go after the force that's been invading

the inner sphere how would you like to

rejoin the service as a lieutenant I

gave up fighting for your relatives a

long time ago wait a minute you think

I'm talking about some little border

dispute this is the survival of the

entire inner sphere easy major this

mercenary SLE bag's not worth the

effort nice plan you major your max

overheating

pal that strategy might work oneon-one

but You' be a Sitting Duck in real

Combat you're right guess I'll just have

to settle for real money so Riders

taking bribes from fed rats eh hey

that's kept in mind Hawkins a fedcom

intelligence Secretariat operative he

busted that track smuggling operation

last month now that's major Adam Steiner

no intelligence record but get this he's

a distant cousin to the archon Melissa

Steiner Royal Blood makes a good bargain

egg Val Riders SP a free

one more item to the list of improved

Clan equipment my heat's through the

roof I'm toast it's either punch out and

surrender or stand here and get

slaughtered what's it going to be major

mirage major Steiner this is Captain

Nikolai was it not enough to steal all

the glory for yourself on Somerset you

have been ordered to pull out on whose

authority on my authority Galaxy

this operation there is but one thing

more odious than

insubordination

[Music]

failure hey guys they're turning tail

you're lucked out school boy you didn't

have to make the tough call this

time perhaps next time you can lend me

something useful like a

lockpick so we leave dustball with a new

Striker and some valuable intelligence
