MechAssault/Payback

Payback

MISSION BRIEFING

A high-ranking WOB officer is escaping. Don’t let him.

Objective: Prevent Escape – In one of the vehicles or ‘Mechs in this convoy is your target. Eliminate all with extreme prejudice.

Foster: It seems that all Word of Blake forces are in full retreat. For all his big talk, it looks like Strader and his boys are all running. Better yet, his second-in-command is moving through our sector to a major base for evac. He’ll be guarded. Just get him. To ambush him, you’re going to need to move fast, with a jump-capable ‘Mech, like a Thor or Summoner.

Natalia: It won’t be easy, since they’ll be moving in a tight group. Let’s get this guy. Payback, baby.

DURING MISSION

Foster: Sir, you’re badly outnumbered. Stay mobile. You won’t be able to take them head on. Just get the second in command before they escape.

Objective: In one of the vehicles or ‘Mech in this convoy is your target. Eliminate all with extreme prejudice.

Natalia: Captain, they’ll try to lure you away. Don’t be distracted. Only one thing matters.

Foster: They’re all in Catapult heavy ‘Mechs? To be sure you get the second in command, you’ll need to knock ‘em all out.

Foster: Sir, the Word of Blake is in full retreat. Like amateurs, they’ve probably left something useful.

Foster: Sirs, I…I’m reading multiple signatures. It looks like another convoy!

Natalia: Foster, when you looked at the sensors the first time, you missed a group of massive walking tanks? Captain, get a move on and stop that other convoy.

Strader: Damn mercenaries, you will force me to abandon this world and all it hides. For that, you will face death!

Natalia: Foster, can the Icarus get us off this rock yet?

Foster: No sir, just mobile hops.

Natalia: Captain, return to the Icarus. We’re going to assault this Word of Blake base and stop Strader before he escapes. Payback!
