MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries/Beach Fight

Beach Fight[edit]

BRIEFING[edit]

Defeat Star Colonel Aisa Thastus in a Trial of Possession for the Cocuala Island chain. She has bid her Command Star of Medium and Heavy ‘Mechs in this Trial. Clan warriors are bred for combat from birth. Expect heavy resistance.

Castle: Okay, sir, if you’re serious about going through with this Trial of Possession, I’ll broadcast your intent to the Clanners. I suggest outfitting both of our Lances with the best tech available. Meeting Clanners on their own terms won’t be easy.

DURING MISSION[edit]

Thastus: Attention, this is Star Colonel Aisa Thastus of the Jade Falcons. I claim these islands in the name of Khan Marthe Pryde. I bring to this Trial of Possession a full Binary of ‘Mechs.

Spectre: This is Spectre One, commander of this [SPONSOR NAME] company. I refute your claim to this territory. I bring two Lances of warriors to end this struggle.

Thastus: Two Lances against two Stars of Jade Falcons? You underestimate us!

Spectre: Do you wish to rebid your positions, Star Colonel?

Thastus: Neg! You will suffer for your insolence!

Spectre: Well bargained and done. Come and get me!

Castle: If I didn’t know better, I’d say you were enjoying this a little too much, sir.

Spectre: Facing down the Clan? Outnumbered on the field of honor? I was born for this fight!

Castle: Just make sure you live to finish it.

Spectre: Roger. I’m planning on it.

[If Spectre has more units destroyed.]

Castle: I mark their forces at fifty percent strength. We’re doing slightly worse.

[If the Jade Falcons have more units destroyed.]

Castle: I mark their forces at fifty percent strength. We’re doing slightly better.

Castle: Three Falcons remain. Finish them off, Commander!

Spectre: I’m on it!

Thastus: Curse you, Freebirth!

Spectre: Star Colonel Thastus, I hereby claim you as my bondsman. You now serve [SPONSOR UNIT] under my direct command.

Castle: Sir, I object! You can’t be serious! Clanners cannot be trusted!

Spectre: At ease, Lieutenant. I’m in command, here. She might be a vicious Clan marauder, but now she’s our vicious Clan marauder.

Castle: I don’t like it at all, sir.

Spectre: I don’t need you to like it, Castle. Spectre out.

AFTERMATH[edit]

Castle: I hope it was everything you wanted, sir. The Clanners have been beaten on their own terms, and MercNet is abuzz with our achievement. Whenever a merc unit takes down Clanners, it can’t help but be good for business.
