Friends Indeed[edit]

MISSION BRIEFING[edit]

We are receiving a distress signal from a group of rebels fighting against the Word of Blake. Find them and save them.

Objective: Save the Resistance – Fight your way through the enemy-held city and defeat the group assaulting the local resistance’s HQ.

Natalia: Foster’s been receiving communications from a resistance group actively fighting the Word of Blake. We’ve not heard from Alpha Lance, so we can use these guys’ help. Lieutenant Foster, play the transmission.

Foster: It’s pretty rough, sir. Seems to be repeating at short intervals. I’ll let you know when I get a better read.

Rebel Transmission: We have risen against the Word of Blake. <static> regional palace <static> save your<static>

DURING MISSION[edit]

Natalia: MechWarrior, find the resistance as soon as possible. We need their help against the Word of Blake and to take out those orbital guns.

Foster: Multiple readings. Tanks and infantry. Sir, they’re targeting civilians!

Natalia: MechWarrior, teach them that we don’t appreciate that.

Foster: Enemy ‘Mech. Looks like a Light scout, an Uller.

Natalia: Shooting at houses! Captain, take him down. Show him what we think about terrorizing civilians.

Foster: Blake coward! He’s running for it. Get him!

Natalia: Calm down, briefing boy. Be careful, Captain.

Foster: Ambush! Watch out, he has backup!

Foster: What kind of city has no people in it?

Foster: Multiple contacts, including another Blake ‘Mech!

Natalia: They were waiting for us. MechWarrior, teach these bastards that battles are fought between warriors, not civilians.

We have arrived too late. Wipe out the enemy forces occupying the city.

Foster: Sir, another transmission from the resistance.

Rebel Transmission: We have risen against the Word of Blake and have made our last stand at the regional palace. They have taken and killed or enslaved all who resist. It is too late for us. Save yourself and flee this pla-

Natalia: Damn. Too late.

Foster: That’s it. No other signatures.

Natalia: Captain, get back to the Icarus. The Word of Blake is up to something beyond their normal tricks. We walked into this hornets’ nest, and I intend that we all walk out. What the hell are they up to on this rock, and where’s Alpha?
