Commander Harrison: "Now move out."

Panther: "Roger that!"

Commander Harrison: "Follow this path."

Panther runs from the Mad Cat

Commander Harrison: "Now turn. ...take the turn!"

Panther takes several shots to the rear

Panther: "I can't keep up this pace!"

Commander Harrison: "Now take the next right."

Panther: "Commander, this is a dead end. I don't have jump jets."

Commander Harrison: "I know what you've got! Hold your position!"

The Mad Cat corners Panther, raises its arms and prepares to fire

Panther: "Dammit sir, I need some help!"

Commander Harrison: "...Here it comes."

A flight of LRMs soar towards the Mad Cat, hitting it in the rear torso. It turns around to engage the rest of Panther's lance

Commander Harrison: "Panther, finish him."

Panther launches a flight of SRMs into the Mad Cat's rear armor, knocking it down and destroying it

Panther: (Deep breath) "Oh man..."

Viper: "Hey Panther, did you miss us?"

Panther: "Commander, reporting Charlie Zone all clear!"

Commander Harrison: "Nice shooting, team."

Colonel Reese: "Harrison... excellent job."

Harrison nods and grins

Colonel Reese: Now, cinch up tight, soldiers! We're coming in hard!"

Commander Harrison: "MechWarriors, you should have a visual on us. Form up and look sharp. We have an invasion to go to."

Viper: "Roger that. One Clanner down, about a hundred more to go. Welcome to Port Arthur, sir."
