MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries/Intro Cinematic

Opening Cinematic

DropShip Command: Team Venom. This is DropShip Command. ETA onplanet is forty seconds. I’m going to be a sitting duck down there, so you damn well better be at the dustoff site when I get there. You get the stuff?

(A Commando races through a wasteland.)

Commando: Roger DropShip Command, I got the recon data and one pissed off Atlas on my tail!

Holly Harris' Zeus moves up to engage the Draconis Combine forces pursuing the Commando.

Holly Harris: Get that data back to the DropShip now! I’ll take this Draconis scumbag! Damn! Eat this!

(The Commando runs aboard the grounded DropShip's boarding ramp.)

Commando: Thanks, Commander! DC Catapult on the rise!

(A Combine Catapult jets into view, firing missiles.)

DropShip Command: DropShip Command, here. My weapons systems are down. I’m getting the hell out of here!

Holly Harris: Negative! I need more time!

(Incoming fire shears off one of the Zeus arms.)

DropShip Command: You’re out of time! I’m not getting paid enough to die! Secure for orbital burn.

(The DropShip takes off, leaving the crippled Zeus behind.)

Holly Harris: There’s still room in hell for your sorry carcass.

DropShip Command: Look at the bright side, kid. You get to keep all the money.
