MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf/Let's Get Off This Rock

Let's Get Off This Rock

Natalia: All right, we made it. Good work, everyone. Foster, let’s get the Icarus up and running so Alera can give us a lift out of the system on the Jezabel.

Foster: It’s gonna take some time to fire up the engines on the Icarus, sirs.

Natalia: MechWarrior, you know your job. Buy us that time. Now that we have one of your toys here, it shouldn’t be so bad.

Foster: I have a fully powered ‘Mech ready to rock. She’s reading all green.

Foster: Sir, if you seal the gates on either end, it’ll buy time. Get over there and blow the panels.

Objective: Lock down the spaceport by securing the gates via the control panels. Get over there and blow the panels.

Natalia: Destroy the tunnels! MechWarrior, you know what to do!

Natalia: MechWarrior, now get the gate at the other end!

Tower One: Mayday! Mayday! This is tower one! We are under attack! Mayday!

Guard: Attention all personnel. Lock down that ‘Mech leaving the area.

Foster: Sir, bogies bearing down on you!

Objective: Secure area.

Foster: MechWarrior, you need to help us out here. We’re taking fire.

Foster: Sir, I show ‘Mechs coming over the wall. I repeat, enemy ‘Mechs in the spaceport. Watch out! Whatever those ‘Mechs are, they have Null Sig systems. You can’t get weapons lock if the Null Sig is active.

Natalia: Don’t worry, Foster. We have a professional on the job.

Foster: Those Null Sig ‘Mechs are radiating energy similar to the data core I used to create the battle armor.

Natalia: Foster, how long ‘till we’re off this rock?

Foster: I need more time!

Natalia: You've got two minutes, then I’m flying this thing myself.

Alera: Major, this is Alera. It may be in our best interest to look closely at those ‘Mechs.

Natalia: Foster, you heard the woman. Get out there and salvage what you can.

Foster: Roger that. I’m on it.

Foster: Sirs, this is a data core, just like the one we recovered from Helios. Most of the battle armor systems were built from the first one. This new one seems to be about stealth and Null Sig. How did it end up here?

Natalia: Another part of the puzzle I intend to find out.

Alera: I have to say, your MechWarrior certainly does deliver. They had that spaceport locked down tight.

Foster: That’s nothing. You should have seen him back on Helios. He was…

Natalia: Can it, buster. Alera, we need a jump point out of this system.

Alera: The jump points are all covered.

Natalia: Don't tell me that the Jezebel’s never made a pirate jump before. I don’t care how you do it, just get us there in one piece. Get me the tactical data. We have to figure out if we’re the sideshow or the main event.

Foster: Well, we aren’t alone in this fight. Whoever they are, they’re giving it to the whole Inner Sphere.

Natalia: Wait, this is odd. Not all these conflicts are over what I would call “strategic objectives.” I can’t help thinking, why would they come after Dante? This is a backwater. There's nothing here but us. That’s it! Get us to Northwind, now!

Alera: Buckle up, folks.
