BattleTech this one appears to be of

noble Heritage let siro's wolf hound I

know what you're thinking believe me

major nobody could have survived that

the strikers have not forgotten me they

will come and they will free me now the

last reported Clan strike was right here

at T cross if we pay them a surprise

visit we might just be able to

appropriate some of their exotic

Hardware their objective is crystal

clear and when they come for you we will

be waiting to greet

[Music]

them guys we have hit the jackpot

greetings inner sphere trash you are

hereby declared Isola my property Stand

Down star Captain these prisoners are my

property what is your problem Nikolai

Too Proud to Forfeit even an ounce of

Glory I just love people fighting over

me your cowardly comrades ran away after

taking what they came here to steal

they're going to come back you know your

friends are long gone not them the

descendants of kinsky we are the

descendants of kinsky if star Colonel

Nikolai malvis has a quarrel with me let

him take it up personally I promise you

major I shall

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 League ancient

enemies have reunited and we're going to

take back our

[Music]

galaxy

[Music]

challenging me was a mistake Kristen you

cannot

win overconfidence as always Nikolai I

don't understand this they are Waging

w*r against the inner sphere and yet

they waste their energies battling each

other you're witnessing a trial of

possession our people settle disp

through

combat ah

[Music]

what are they fighting over now the

right to control the weapon of vital

strategic importance what kind of weapon

could be so

important are they fighting over a new

battle Mech no bman zero they are

fighting over

[Music]

you

release me

[Music]

immediately didn't I tell you to keep

your hands off our gear it was

unavoidable enough can't we go a week

without this nonsense Mr Sakamoto is

stealing our spare

parts major Steiner you have made me

responsible for maintaining supplies

therefore I must Al equipment as I see

fit that mean gutting our Mech and

keeping all the good transponders for

yourself I need these Electronics to

bargain for your food you of all people

should understand the value of a prime

what's that supposed to mean do not

touch me

again give it a rest both of you now I

know we're short on supplies and I know

our battle mechs are trash but we can't

start going for each other's throats now

we're about to land on waldor fine

they've got a Quarter Master Depot so we

can stock up on supplies and get our

mechs repaired All Hands report to

Landing

[Music]

stations forget it major if you ain't

got the paperwork I can't do nothing for

you see this full clipboard it means I

got an empty

Warehouse all those months of

frustrating and the only Mech action I

get is marching the major demolish

axeman into a repair Depot hey you can't

go in there you heading out of here I'll

give you 5,000 seeds for

passing whoa slow down I I wish we could

help you but we're going into Clan

territory Val isn't there anything we

can do yeah we can do our jobs this

won't happen on any other

planets perhaps you might be interested

in rare exotic foods andorian Peach

pheasant could fetch you a handsome rice

sorry pal I don't deal with

Drax now might be a good time to start

this is getting us nowhere without those

supplies we're dead in the water are you

Adam Steiner yeah who are you would you

come with me

please commstar received a priority One

Transmission for you from the Aron

herself greetings major Steiner or

should I say cousin Adam I am sorry but

your mission to collect Intelligence on

the Clans is temporarily

suspended what about Somerset what about

my family the technology you

appropriated from the enemy has been

quickly incorporated into new Mech

prototypes your revised mission is to

test this new equipment in actual combat

even if it means going to a planet

currently being held by Clan forces like

maybe Somerset your revised mission is

to test this new equipment in actual

combat we intercepted this transmission

your former comrades have proven

themselves to be worthy opponents

defeating them and taking their new

Weaponry will bring me great Glory

indeed why are you telling me this oh

because bondman cero you are going to

help me win the honor of attacking them

in your dreams lady oh pity should

Nikolai Mala seize this opportunity your

former comrads will surely be eliminated

he didn't eliminate me he made me a

bondsman only because of your family

these illustrious history I doubt he

will be so merciful toward inferious

stock what would you do with them I

would allow them to serve our goal of

reuniting the inner sphere returning it

to the Glory Days of the star league of

course it would require the right person

to take command over them to instruct

them in the way of the Clans command ah

together you and I shall lead them to

follow the the true vision of

kensky oh you're Adam Steiner if I'd

have known that come right this

way now I can get out of here before the

Clans

invade here they are AWS 9d an awesome

certainly lives up to its name eh BSW X1

the bush

wagon I sure hate to be in the bush it's

wagon spare me

and last but not least an IFR X1 and an

slh X1 or as we call them an infiltrator

and a sloth what they lack in size they

make up for in stealth there some

impressive Firepower here I hear some

wood be Cowboys actually raid a clan

Outpost and grab the technology used in

these bad boys actually those would be

Cowboys were us you guys got a lot of

guts of course there's a lot to be said

for a healthy survival Instinct that's

why I'm bugging out nice just you do the

same I think we're staying put we are

yeah get a test drive before take him

out the field right so I'll take the

Austin Val you take the bushwhacker

Kylie why don't you take the infiltrator

suit for a little cross train oh am I

supposed to give up my M for that toy

actually based on his previous success

in the clan toad suit I think Mr

Sakamoto is the man for that unit that

is if you're willing to join us I would

be honored

major are you sure sure that's such a

good idea why not he seems to have a

real facility for combat what do you

think I'm worried

about in addition major Steiner tends to

deploy his battle mix in this formation

thus maximizing his limited Firepower

lastly major Steiner lives via cedo

information is ammunition his philosophy

is almost clan-like in its

Simplicity he will make a fine bondsman

after I defeat him in

[Music]

battle why are we wasting our time in a

swamp we could be knocking the clans all

over the Galaxy yeah maybe so but first

we've got to see how this new equipment

holds up under less than ideal

conditions you can't get much less than

ideal than this s

box what is that stench must be you guy

put a sock in it Kylie a lay off hwk

she's just having some fun with the new

guy well there ain't going to be any

hazing in my company got

[Music]

it wow I can't believe how they've

improved the speed and maneuverability

I'd be more impressed if I could get my

infered sensors to pick up anything yeah

that's more like

it

listen up kitties the key to this

maneuver is stealth not speed now

according to my specs your suits have

minimal radar profile you don't kick up

a Ruckus you could sneak up close to a

Mech and get real

personal Sakamoto you trying to make

yourself a Target you're a word I said

about moving slow and steady W wherever

could those have come from all right

knock off that horse PL and get into the

swamp now

[Music]

ow Captain Hawkins my battle suit

appears to be taking on water or is this

another of your hazing rituals hey I

don't know anything about this

one Sakamoto get your sloth to drying

land before your whole system shorts

[Music]

out I cannot move my

leg hang on Franky I've got

you

oh great now I'm stuck we're

sinking Kyrie Franklin do copy do you

copy

Kylie Franklin Kylie Kylie Franklin can

you hear

me don't sweat it

Hawk

[Music]

[Music]

that's it fell that is it I'm

transferring out of this turkey

[Music]

unit hey there Frankie I sure hope my

snakes didn't get too soggy in there she

mat is this how you treat an ally bakar

fool sounds like somebody needs a little

Cooling

not The Hazing stops now understood hey

come on teach we all went through it

once if Franklin wants to be accepted by

the team he's going to have to put up

with it well the next Joker who pulls a

prank is going to have to put up with me

ah dismissed such Behavior lacks even

the tiniest shred of honor it would be

Unthinkable in the draconus combine but

you're still going to have to earn the

respect Franklin and take it from me

that's no easy task

do they always bid for the right to

invade a planet not the right the honor

the bidding determines who can conquer a

given objective with the least equipment

and Personnel this minimizes the

resources at risk and maximizes our

Glory but with such limited forces how

can they hope to conquer a whole planet

the planet is not their objective merely

a certain unit they're both gunning for

the strikers theoretically they bid for

the honor of representing Clan J Falcon

in this trial of possession however each

has faced major Steiner and failed to

defeat him I fear that their bids

reflect their own misplaced sense of

personal honor the Falcons are not well

served by this my final bid I will

attack armed only with my Thor battl

Mech accompanied by a point of five

Elementals in that case I shall attack

with my vulture's lasers deactivated

accompanied by a mere true Elementals

very well I concede the bidding well

bargained and done wait a minute what is

he so happy about he lost this could be

very bad for Star Captain Kristen

Redmond she cannot possibly defeat them

with such limited resources then the

strikers will win never she will be

forced to summon the star Colonel for

assistance and then their fate will be

in his hands locking On

[Music]

Target nice sh**ting V this new

targeting system is far superior to our

old one but it's still nowhere near the

ones the clanners are using we still

haven't pushed it to the Limit major

pick it up Kylie you still need to shave

30 seconds off your last run you too

Sakamoto I ain't got all

[Music]

day now's the fun part kitties here's

where you got to get past

me way to go Kye my laces were at full

full strength you've been blown back the

farad oh nice for Mr

Sakamoto but you got to move faster than

that H Franklin I don't think you want

to go that

way no no no no forget it Val those

Hills are way out of your range how are

we going to know if we don't

try and way we

go hey there're stearing in on the wrong

Target come on come on detonate blast

you they aren't responding Franklin you

read me get out of there now zo now it's

no good he'll never make it well looks

like it's up to me the missiles Target

infrared signatures

huh spin B come in he should be okay

that suit can withstand a

volcano

hey Franklin where you going what's he

think he's doing he's probably trying to

figure out why we're trying to Nuke him

let's give him a little chance to cool

off and in the meantime Val you better

work on one heck of an apology Adam I

spotted a clan Mech dropping toward the

planet from orbit have you worn the

Supply Depot affirmative but the

directory indicates it's Landing 500 M

find us first major Steiner I hereby

can choose all units initiate enhanced

Imaging here's where we find out if
