New Exford[edit]
New Exford, located within Morgan Kell's Arc-Royal Defense Cordon (ARDC), lies dangerously close to the Clan Occupation Zones of both the Jade Falcons and Khan Vladimir Ward's Wolves. The planet of New Exford is temperate to tropical by Terran standards, and is home to numerous volcanoes and island clusters. Recently, a small force of Jade Falcons has landed on New Exford as part of a much larger push into the ARDC and Lyran Alliance.
Jungle Recon[edit]
BRIEFING[edit]
Patrol the island along a northwesterly route. We have yet to locate the Falcons' DropShip or logistical base. The Clanners have offered no formal batchall for this operation, so their number and disposition remain unknown.
Castle: We need to recon the island and locate the Jade Falcon center of operations. We don't have much to go on. I've set up a pair of routes to cover likely areas.
DURING MISSION[edit]
Spectre: Castle, we're departing coastal drop site on the northwesterly route. We'll check in every ten minutes. Over.
Castle: Roger, Commander. We'll be here.
Spectre: We're in hostile territory, people. Give a ready report and check your sectors.
Beowulf: Beowulf. Ready op.
Hannibal: This is Hannibal. Ready op.
Blaze: This is Blaze. Ready op.
Spectre: Good. Remember, this is Clan we're going up against. Combat MechWarriors bred for battle with the hottest OmniMechs this side of Outreach.
Blaze: This is your idea of a pep talk, Commander?
Hannibal: Heh. Clanners. I say waste 'em all!
Claymore: Finally, a real fight!
Spectre: The fiercer the foe, the sweeter the salvage.
Blaze: That's great!
Claymore: Kick ass!
Female Clanner: Freebirth scum, prepare for battle.
Spectre: Here we go. Engaging Clan 'Mechs.
Jeffa Roshak: This is Star Captain Jeffa Roshak of the Jade Falcon Clan. I will crush your worthless forces beneath my talons, and make you all my bondsmen.
Spectre: Neg! You'll be eatin' dirt in about two minutes Herr Roshak.
Jeffa Roshak: Bah! To the death, then. You speak as only a barbarian could. You are no warrior.
Spectre: Let's see about that.
Spectre: Roshak is history.
Spectre: Scope is clear. Continuing search pattern.
Spectre: Nav Point Beta. No sign of Clanner operations.
Sky Eye: Spectre, this is Sky Eye One. I have visual on five Clan 'Mechs in a cove. Grid one-one-seven. Relaying position.
Spectre: Acknowledged. Full Star of Clanners at one-one-seven. We're on it.
Spectre: Castle, this is Spectre. Engaging Clan forces at one-one-seven. Looks like a pirate supply depot. Bet they didn't expect the Clan to come calling.
Castle: Acknowledged. Updating Operations. Suggest eliminate Clan forces and secure for Salvage.
Spectre: We're working on it.
Spectre: We're clear. All forces, prepare for recovery and salvage. No sign of their operations center, Castle. I'm returning to the LZ. Let's start planning our next patrol.
Castle: Acknowledged. Castle out.
AFTERMATH[edit]
Castle: I don't know if I've told you this before, sir, but it was the Clan Invasion of 3050 that left me orphaned and fleeing the Rasalhague Republic. It's very fitting to finally help pay these bastards back on a personal level.
