MechWarrior 3/Operation 1 Mission 1

Operation 1 – Mission 1

Briefing

Sorenson: Sure that’s all we have? All right, give me the tac map. Lance Leader, our probe data is extremely out of date. However, you’re falling slightly off target. We expect a shallow-water splashdown somewhere north of…this fishing village.

Sorenson: In order to get to the beach, vehicles have to use this bridge. It’s protected by these fixed missile emplacements. OP POINT ABLE designates a Clan communications facility as your first target. Freeze video. These emplacements have to be eliminated.

Sorenson: OP POINT BAKER is the programmed landing position of the Mobile Field Base. We’ll wait for you there. Cut the feed.

Sorenson: Neutralize communications center at OP POINT ABLE. Rendezvous with Mobile Field Base at OP POINT BAKER. Look out for these SRM emplacements. Mobile threats should consist of light ‘Mechs and some vehicles. Good luck, Lance Leader.

During Mission

Sorenson: Lance Leader, this is Mobile Field Base. We’re down on target, awaiting rendezvous.

Sorenson: All units, come in. We’ve got movement all around our location. Don’t waste any time getting here.

Sinclair: Black Hammer, Damocles. Please respond.

?: [static]…hauling explosives…trying to blow up the bridge!

Sorenson: Did you get that? Check your frequencies. The Damocles said something about explosive charges. Watch your step and scanners.

Sorenson: Ah, holding explosives. We’ve intercepted some….

Sorenson: All units, we are proceeding on mission. Contact when able.

Sinclair: Waiting for rendezvous coordinates.

Sorenson: Roger that, Lance Leader. Transferring now.

Sorenson: That got their attention. Clan radio chatter just tripled.

Sorenson: Sounds like the local net is down.

Sorenson: We have arrived and are ready to deploy.

Sorenson: Good to see you, Lance Leader.

Aftermath

Taylor: No determination on the status of the DropShip Black Hammer. We assume it is down. Act in accordance with mission specifications until we can devise a rescue plan.

Sorenson: That was Captain Taylor’s official response to my request for information. Our extraction is an unknown factor at this time. We have recovered codes from the communications facility objective that allowed us to break Clan encryption. You will receive a direct feed of Clan intentions.

Sorenson: Finally, Dominic “Gunner” Payne deployed successfully and has moved into position to keep Clan forces pinned in place. We will rendezvous with him as planned at the ‘Mech factory.
