BattleTech (Video Game)/Liberate: Panzyr

Liberate: Panzyr

BRIEFING

Kamea Arano: The Restoration Army is already entrenched on Panzyr's surface. We're gaining ground against the Directorate, but we can't allow them to call in reinforcements. With the support of the 2nd Decimis Fusiliers, you will destroy a Directorate-held DropShip control center, cutting off their ability to navigate Panzyr's orbital debris field.

Darius Oliveira: This planet's debris field is a real oddity, and a holdover from the Amaris Civil War. It's a nightmare to navigate without ground support, but don't worry—Sumire will get you to the surface in one piece.

DURING MISSION

Kamea Arano: Commander. I'm glad you made it–navigating Panzyr's debris field unassisted is no small feat, even for a ship as small as a Leopard. Ms. Meyer is to be commended for her skill.

Sumire Meyer: No sweat, Lady Arano. Just don't ask me to do it again.

Kamea Arano: You won't have to. Restoration strike teams have already joined forces with the 2nd Decimis Fusiliers to engage the enemy on multiple fronts. We have them at a disadvantage, but if they manage to bring in reinforcements, we're in trouble.

Kamea Arano: {Character Callsign}, I need you to engage the enemy, locate their DropShip control center, and destroy it. Without ground support, their ships won't be able to navigate the debris field. The Directorate's troops on the surface will be cut off, and our combined forces will sweep them away.

Lieutenant Karen Andris: I'm sorry to interrupt, Lady Arano, but we've just intercepted a transmission from the ADV Coronach. They're requesting navigational aid–it sounds like they're on their way down.

Kamea Arano: If that ship lands, our bid for this system fails. {Character Callsign}, I need you to take the control center out before the Coronach touches down.

Lieutenant Karen Andris: The 2nd can help with that–we have a Leopard full of engineers heading your way. Commander, I'll need you to clear us a path to the spaceport's security headquarters. Take out their vehicles and make us some breathing room, and we'll turn their turret defenses against them.

Kamea Arano: That's the plan, then–we'll use the turrets to cover your approach. As soon as we have the turrets under control, the Directorate will begin firing on them–use that as a distraction, or engage the enemy to protect them. It's your call either way.

Kamea Arano: Good hunting, Commander. You bring down the control center and we'll handle the rest. Good luck.

[Once the Commander's lance has Line–of–Sight of the security HQ ]

Kamea Arano: Commander, I'm seeing Directorate SRM carriers on radar. Recommend engaging them at long range–they'll take you apart if you let them get close.

[Once the Directorate vehicles that are defending the security HQ are destroyed. ]

Kamea Arano: Nicely done, Commander. Lieutenant Andris, your approach to the security HQ is clear.

Lieutenant Karen Andris: Roger that, Lady Arano. We'll have their turrets under friendly control in just a moment.

Kamea Arano: Engage the forces guarding that control center, {Character Callsign}. Let's make these turrets count.

[Once the are brought online under allied control and the Commander's lance is outside of weapons range. ]

Directorate Spaceport Commander: They've taken control of our damned turrets! All units–target the turrets and destroy them before the enemy's BattleMechs enter weapons range. Do it–NOW!

[Once the Commander's lance is in weapons range of the Directorate Mechs. ]

Directorate Spaceport Commander: Ignore the turrets and concentrate your fire on those BattleMechs! We must protect the control center–if our reinforcements can't land, we're all dead! Now fight–FOR THE DIRECTORATE!

[Once 9 Rounds have elapsed and the control center has not been damaged.]

Kamea Arano: The clock is ticking, and the DropShip is getting close. I'd recommend that you prioritize targeting the control center, Commander.

[Once 13 Rounds have elapsed and the control center has not been damaged.]

Kamea Arano: Commander, we're almost out of time! We can't afford to let enemy reinforcements land. You need to bring down that control center!

[Once the Control Center has been damaged]

Kamea Arano: It's weakening! Get more firepower on that control center and bring it down!

[ Once the Control Center has been destroyed]

Kamea Arano: Well done, Commander. Ms. Meyer, are you inbound?

Sumire Meyer: Roger that, Lady Arano. I'm marking an LZ on your screen, Commander–proceed to the designated coordinates for evac.

Kamea Arano: That's done it! All communication between the spaceport and the Directorate's reinforcement fleet just went down!

Coronach: Ground control, this is the Coronach–we've lost you! [loud clanging] Nav support is off-line–where are the damned tugs?! [louder clanging] [alarm klaxon begins to blare]

Kamea Arano: Without ground support, their DropShips won't be able to make planetfall–they'll be torn to pieces if they try. Congratulations, {Character Callsign}. Panzyr is as good as ours.

Lieutenant Karen Andris: And we have you to thank for it! Long live House Decimis, and long live the Arano Restoration!

[ If the Contol Center is destroyed and all Directorate forces have been defeated.]

Sumire Meyer: All targets eliminated. Sit tight, and I can collect you from where you are at right now.
