MISSION BRIEFING[edit]

A Word of Blake convoy is transporting a Mad Cat Heavy ‘Mech. Capture it. We need that extra firepower.

Objective: Defend the Icarus – Our LZ is hot and is only going to get worse. Defend the Icarus at all costs.

Objective: Secure the Mad Cat – Stop the enemy convoy. We’ll send Foster and the techs to help you recover the ‘Mech.

Natalia: Okay, I’m going to handle this briefing. Our buddy Foster is prepping for the mission. Here’s our situation. We’re landing in what we hope is a secure location, but it looks like the enemy may have spotted us. There are several enemy units in the area, and they could be heading towards our position. As soon as we land, you need to secure the landing zone. More interesting, it looks like the Word is transporting a new Mad Cat. We need more firepower, so I want that Heavy ‘Mech. It’s against my better judgement, but once you capture the Mad Cat, Lieutenant Foster will pilot it back to the Icarus. Try and make sure that briefing boy doesn’t kill himself.

DURING MISSION[edit]

Foster: All systems nominal. We’ll be on the ground momentarily.

Foster: Major, I’m reading incoming tanks with ‘Mech support.

Natalia: Captain, as soon as you’re on the ground, please deal with them.

Foster: We’re taking fire! Sir, we need help! The Icarus can’t take too much more of this.

Natalia: Captain, you need to help us out here!

Natalia: The Icarus is out of serious danger. Proceed to the city. I’ve placed a Nav Point.

Objective: Stop the WOB convoy and recover the Mad Cat.

Natalia: Here’s vid footage of the convoy transporting the Mad Cat. I want that ‘Mech. Stop them, and Foster and our techs will take care of it.

Natalia: Tiger, you need to hurry. If the convoy reaches the tunnel north of the city, it’s game over, and we’ve lost our chance.

Natalia: Captain, make sure you take out the tanks guarding the convoy. Don’t destroy the Mad Cat. Do not even think about it.

Natalia: Good job stopping the convoy, sport. Briefing boy is inbound.

Natalia: Enemy reinforcements are inbound on your position. Intercept their ‘Mechs. Give those Techs time.

Objective: Enemy ‘Mechs incoming. Intercept them to give the tech team time to escape.

Foster: This is nothing like the simulator. I need some time. Cover me!

Foster: I think I got it. Whoohoo! This ‘Mech is badass!

Natalia: Lieutenant, get back to the Icarus and stop screwing around.

Foster: I’m clear of the city and nearing the Icarus.

Natalia: Good work, Lieutenant Foster. For good measure, destroy the base at the north end of the city and don’t leave any of those buildings standing.

Objective: The enemy HQ is near the city. Follow your radar and level the entire base.

Natalia: Captain, make sure you take out their HQ buildings, for me.

Natalia: That should do it. Good work. Rendezvous with the Icarus and we can check out your new toy, once we get briefing boy out of it.

Foster: But I called dibs!

Objective: Defend the Icarus

Natalia: It looks like you’re going to give that ‘Mech a workout. I’ve got signatures heading towards us from every direction.

Objective: Secure Our LZ

Foster: This is great! Just like playing a game!

Natalia: Mind yourself, Lieutenant. Piloting a ‘Mech is not a game.

Foster: Who wants some? Come and get a little bit of Foster!

Natalia: <sigh> What I would give for radio silence.

Natalia: That’s it! Radar is clear of enemies. Good job, Captain. We’ve bloodied their nose and stolen their prize. With a Mad Cat, we may have the upper hand. Oh, yeah, and good job, briefing boy.
