MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf/Mountain Song

Mountain Song

Foster: Sirs, now I know why the readings were so bizarre. This core is a data key. It looks like it’s meant to calibrate the other cores. But that doesn’t make sense, unless they somehow work in unison. How many other cores are there?

Natalia: Maybe it’ll make more sense if you get it inside the Icarus and out of the freezing cold.

Foster: Right away, Major. By cross referencing the four cores, I think we’ll be close to finding out what the Word is doing.

Natalia: Foster, are you reading me?

Foster: We got you, Major.

Natalia: I was following a lead from those Highlanders the MechWarrior rescued. Looks like I’ve found the vipers’ nest.

Foster: Major, we already know it’s the Word of Blake behind this.

Natalia: Clear the channel! Look!

Foster: Alera! I knew it! She betrayed us!

Natalia: Okay, Foster. Settle down. Let’s see where this goes. We’ll deal with her later. I think I have an issue here... Oh, this isn’t good!

Objective: Escort Foster down the mountain side.

Foster: We're in a huge bind. Natalia's gone. Alera's gone. And we don't have a jumpship that can take us out of orbit, but I have a plan. If we can get to the old hyperpulse generator the Dragoons were securing, we can send a wideband SOS.

Foster: I’m reading tanks in this valley. Kick them to the curb.

Foster: Watch out, sir. They know we’re here. They’ll be bringing ‘Mechs to this party.

Foster: MechWarrior, you need to help us out here. We’re taking fire.

Foster: Sir, I’ll wait here. You’ll have to find a VTOL to transport my APC across this rugged terrain.

Foster: Sir, there’s an abandoned ‘Mech over there with jump jets. The extra maneuverability will be useful in this terrain.

Objective: Find a VTOL at the base of this mountain.

Blakist: We’re under attack. Call the sergeant back from patrol.

Blakist 2: Yeah, Frost and his upgunned ‘Mech will take care of this pesky Dragoon.

Foster: Take out those comm dishes. Then the Word of Blake won’t be able to respond as quickly when we send out an SOS.

Objective: Destroy any comm dishes you find.

Foster: Sir, grab that VTOL and come pick up the APC.

Objective: Pick up Foster in the VTOL.

Frost: Now you’ll die here!

Blakist: Sergeant Frost!

Foster: Great work, sir! Follow these Nav Points up the mountain.

Objective: Get to the top of the next mountain.

Foster: Sir, there are more communications towers. Follow the Nav markers and destroy them.

Objective: Destroy any comm dishes you find.

Foster: Good work. You need to keep moving up the mountain.

Blakist: We have a visual.

Foster: One more patrol of tanks and we should be clear. Great piloting, sir.

Objective: The hyperpulse generator is just over the next ridge. Follow the Nav Point.

Foster: That did it! Let’s go to the Icarus and move to the abandoned signal station.

Foster: Sir, there’s a turret on the ridge. Use it to take out the bridge and buy us time. The Word is going to be on us in a big way.
