Mission 9[edit]
BRIEFING[edit]
Sinclair: The lull between the storm’s full fury. That’s what the pirate retreat seems like, now. Arrival of the Lyran attack force is imminent, though, fortunately, the assault team is not so large as it might have been. Many of the Lyran forces have declared neutrality, and some actually plan to help us meet the new threat.
Sinclair: The plan is a simple one. We defend the Federated Suns and Rim Collective germanium stores, and hope we can put the enemy down before the pirates mount a new offensive. Susie Ryan is still out there, and has massed her followers for one last try against Madre. If not for the betrayal, we could meet them away from the crater, but whoever controls the germanium stores holds the power here. The Lyran threat must be dealt with first.
DURING MISSION[edit]
Sinclair: Damocles One to all units. Prepare for ground assault.
Alan: Copy that, Lieutenant. Ready to kick ass and take names.
Epona: They won’t get by us, sir.
Sersi: Sinclair, this is Commander Sersi. The Rim Collective stands ready.
Allied Lyran commander: As does the Lyran Alliance. Long live Prince Victor!
Dominic: Yeah, yeah. We’ll see whose side you’re on when the shooting starts.
Sinclair: Enough of that, Dominic. Tighten it up, people. Sinclair out.
Attacking Lyran Commander: Enemy forces, I offer you one remaining chance to surrender the field and withdraw to your lines.
Sinclair: Not a chance.
Allied Lyran Commander: It is you who should surrender, traitorous cur. You shame the Alliance.
Attacking Lyran Commander: Very well, you’ve had your chance. On your own heads be it.
Epona: Cocky little bastard, isn’t he? I’m actually looking forward to this.
Sinclair: Enemy ‘Mechs sighted. All units are clear to engage.
Sersi: Acknowledged. Good hunting, Sinclair.
Allied Lyran Commander: For the Alliance! Death to the rebels!
Alan: I like the way that guy thinks.
Epona: Why am I not surprised?
Alan: One little, two little, three little Lyrans…
Sinclair: People, we’ve got ‘em on the run!
Sinclair: Damocles One to all units: Enemy ‘Mech presence has been eliminated. Secure from alert status.
Corona Base: This is Corona Base. Don’t stray too far. If I were the pirate commander, I’d be moving against you right now while you’re weak.
Alan: Anyone else ready for round two?
Dominic: Join the army, see the galaxy. What the hell was I thinking?
AFTERMATH[edit]
Sinclair: Coming in from two angles nearly worked. It split our forces and made managing the battle more difficult. I’d like to believe the pirates will be more predictable, but I’m not about to underestimate Susie Ryan. She doesn’t care how many lives pay for Madre, so long as she gets what she wants. Salvage, supply, and stitches…and then we’re at it again. Last time pays for all.
