MechWarrior 4: Vengeance/Kill Casey

Kill Casey[edit]

BRIEFING[edit]

Lawhorn: Okay Striker One, Dresari knows we're here, and now we're going to teach him to fear us. We've worked up a target list for our initial strikes, and I have a special mission for Striker Lance. Dresari has a particularly well known Lieutenant named Casey Nolan. If I weren't sending you to kill him, I'm sure the two of you would get along famously. He's a wisecracking loudmouth currently in charge of a local 'Mech academy. Taking him out will hurt Dresari on a personal level, and show his troops that not even Ian's favorite cadre is a match for the Black Legion.

Eric: No problem, sir. He'll be "dying" to make my acquaintance.

Lawhorn: I'm sending you in as a lone 'Mech to maximize enemy confusion and shock value. I've authorized you for a heavy 'Mech with the quartermaster, with Alpha Priority for weapon selection. Mandril will take you in and keep you up to the minute on enemy dispositions. Good luck, Eric. Make me proud.

Eric: You can count on it, sir.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW[edit]

Kill Casey: The Legion has arrived on Kentares and is preparing several assaults against key Dresari assets. The Colonel has handpicked you to eliminate an important member of Dresari's cadre: Casey Nolan.

DURING MISSION[edit]

Mandril: Striker, this is Mandril. You're approaching from the far end of the academy gunnery range. You should be able to use the target berms for cover as you advance on the base. Expect trainees and light resistance at initial contact. Maximize enemy confusion by holding weapons fire until you're right on top of them. With any luck, they'll think you're a lost cadet wandering back from patrol.

Eric: Roger. Holding fire.

Casey: Attention! You have entered live-fire zone! Clear the range at once! Cease fire! 'Mech on the range! Cease fire!

Casey: Enemy 'Mech on base! Enemy 'Mech on base!

Eric: Looks like they made me.

Mandril: Reading more 'Mechs powering up in the compound. Watch yourself!

Eric: Roger, engaging.

Mandril: Striker One, another power-up in the compound. Comm intercept marks his call sign "Jester." I think you've found your target.

Casey: Well, well, well. If it isn't Steiner's little errand boy. I heard Katrina had sunk to hiring scum. I just had no idea how low.

Eric: Better than court jester to a wannabe Duke.

[If Sergeant Kearson is alive]

Casey: Sergeant Kearson, disengage your cadets. I'm going to give an object lesson in dealing with Steiner lackeys.

Casey: Umm...Sergeant Kearson, I may need your help here.

Eric: Bring it on!

Casey: What do you say, buddy? Punch out now, and I'll give you a job. Scrubbing toilets.

Eric: Thanks. I'll pass. You're finished, Nolan.

Eric: Mandril, this is Striker. Target terminated! Requesting extraction.

Mandril: Negative ejection confirmed. He's dead. Scope shows all cadet forces in full retreat. You did it, Eric.

Eric: Did you ever doubt me?

Mandril: He did have an assault 'Mech, you know.

Eric: I noticed. Moving to extraction point. See you in a few. Striker One out.
