MechWarrior 3/Pirate Mission 4

Pirate Mission 4[edit]

BRIEFING[edit]

Scourge: The big push we’ve been waiting for is on the way! An enemy force has been spotted moving in, and they’re coming in force. Strangely enough, the FedSuns and the Rim Collective are working together. Miracles will never cease. The downside to this wonderful political union is a larger force than anticipated, which lets them get bold.

Scourge: We expect them to cross here with tanks, while many of their ‘Mechs jump jet over the canyon. The next logical target will be our radar setups here and here. From there, we’ll be blind and ripe for the picking. A two-sided base assault followed by an overrun should be next on their agenda. It’s gonna be a hell of a fight.

Scourge: Our job is to keep at least one of those radar sites online, and to reinforce the base when they hit it. Nice and simple. Just like I like it.

DURING MISSION[edit]

Scourge: Okay, listen up, people! We don’t have a lot of time. Early estimates of enemy forces were way off. They’re gonna be coming in hard and fast. Looks like they’re going for our radar first.

Deuce: Blind us first, then hit us in force. Standard FedSun doctrine.

Scourge: We need to keep one of those radar stations intact. Lose ‘em both, they’ll be hell to pay. Is that clear?

Deuce Crystal.

Trey: All clear here, boss.

Scourge: Then let’s move, sweethearts!

Scourge: Scourge to all units, enemy vehicles eliminated!

Susie Ryan: Very well, Scourge. Would you be so kind as to start eliminating the big walking targets now? Thank you.

Scourge: Yes...ma’am.

[If Point Baker radar is destroyed]

Base: All units! We just lost the radar at Point Baker!

Scourge: They aren’t making this any easier.

[If Point Charlie radar is destroyed]

Base: The radar station at Point Charlie is not responding.

Scourge: I gather it’s not because the radio’s down.

[If both radars are destroyed]

Base: We’ve lost both radars. Prepare for overrun!

Base: Base to all units! We are under attack! We need immediate support.

Scourge: Yeah, yeah! We heard you the first time!

Deuce: That base commander gets a little whiny when things heat up.

Scourge: It’s one of his less endearing qualities.

Base: Base to Captain Ryan. The enemy force has been repelled. Our base is secure.

Suzie Ryan: Nicely done, people.

Scourge: Maybe this time, they’ll learn not to mess with us.

Deuce: Right. And maybe I’ll use my ‘Mech to deliver ice cream someday. But not today.

Trey: You’d probably be better at delivering ice cream, Deuce.

Deuce: Shut up, Trey.
