MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf/Checkmate

Checkmate[edit]

Natalia: MechWarrior, where are you? I’m reading multiple power spikes.

Natalia: Alera, prep for rendezvous. The Nemesis ‘Mech army is online and we need to regroup.

Alera: Negative. Get your ass out of there. This ends now.

Natalia: Hotshot, mount up. We’re getting out of here.

[Alera pilots the Jezebel through the atmosphere to crash into Reetu’s compound]

Natalia: Foster! Lieutenant! Briefing boy, come in! Can you read me?

Foster: I’m here. I’m here.

Natalia: Glad to see you made it, kid.

Foster: Sorry I didn’t give you a heads up. Alera didn’t tell me. She just uncoupled the Icarus and left me drifting.

Natalia: She sacrificed herself to stop them, and save us all. I wonder if the fifth core survived.

Foster: If it did, then someone may find it, try to get them all, and join them together.

Natalia: And we’ll be there to stop them. You should know that by now, briefing boy.
