Mech Commander 2/Honor Guards

Honor Guards

BRIEFING

Anita Cho: There has been a setback. My son’s actions have cost us the majority of our forces. All I’ve worked for could be lost.

Jason Cho: I will create a new plan. I-I don’t need the mercenary.

Anita: You will meet with House Steiner to sue for peace. We will aid Renard in his fight against Major Kelly. The tide will change, and we will gain time to recover. And you, Sang-wei, must escort my son to this meeting. I know that I may depend on you.

Diaz: Liao and Steiner wish to meet and settle a truce. Protect and escort Jason Cho to the rendezvous point.

MISSION OBJECTIVES

1. Escort Jason Cho to Rendezvous Location

2. Destroy All Enemy Forces

Secondary

a. Move into Steiner Base

Commander:

The Mandrissa is most pleased to announce that Colonel Renard has finally seen the value in negotiation and has accepted an invitation to discuss terms of a cease-fire.

Your role in establishing our dominance over Carver V has not been forgotten, and the Mandrissa has honored your unit with the highest privilege of escorting Captain Jason Cho to the rendezvous with Colonel Renard.

Although this is a peaceful affair, Captain Cho is the last of the Liao nobility on Carver V, and Colonel Renard is known to be unstable at times. Stay alert, Commander. Lady Cho will be watching.

Honor and Xin Sheng.

Tactical Officer Notes: A simple escort to a cease-fire. This should be the easiest C-bill we’ve made in a long time.

Looks like an end to all this fighting might be in sight, Commander. Everybody is looking forward to some R&R and a place to spend some hard-earned cash.

I’ll get Cash to polish up the ‘Mechs, Sir. We might as well look the part.

DURING MISSION

Jason: Do nothing, unless I give the order. We will keep an open channel for all parties. Colonel Renard?

Renard: Good day, my Lord.

Jason: You make an impressive display.

Renard: Please view it as a show of respect, Lord Cho. I see you brought your mercenaries.

Jason: Mandrissa Cho insisted.

Renard: Very well, I will make this quick. We have a mutual enemy – Major Kelly of House Davion. It is therefore in our interests to form an alliance.

Jason: I’m glad you agree.

Renard: However, your actions against House Steiner must have a cost. I’m sure you understand.

Jason: We expected as much. Name your price.

Renard: The mercenaries must die.

Jason: Ha ha ha ha ha ha! That’s all?!! Then the deal is done.

Diaz: Sir! There’s an empty Steiner base nearby. Take it! Take it!

Jason: Colonel Renard! Give me more men! I will personally crush the mercenaries.

Renard: Very well, Lord Cho. I will leave this in your hands.

Jason: Your career ends here, mercenary!

Jason: Aaaaarrgh!!! (Dies)

Anita: You’ve killed my son, Sang-wei! This is the end of my family line. Prepare yourself for my response!

Baxter: All right, this is Baxter. Now, my people tell me there is a force of Liao units heading your way. I’m mobilizing the partisans to help you. We’ll be there as fast as we can.

Baxter: Commander, we won’t reach your position in time. Move your units north to meet us. We’ll do what we can to help.
