MechWarrior 3/Pirate Mission 7

Mission 7

BRIEFING

Scourge: I can’t say I’m pleased with our current situation.

Scourge: Command is really spreading our forces out. Both Trey and the new guy have both been…temporarily reassigned…to other units until things settle down in the crater.

Scourge: That leaves Deuce and myself to handle the latest assignment – guarding a hidden stash of germanium on the surface. Several of our camps could be hit at any time now and I get to sit on my can and watch a stack of crates. The logic of it escapes me.

Scourge: I’m not sure which bothers me more – this babysitting job or missing out on the real action. I just hope there’s a base to come back to when this assignment ends.

DURING MISSION

Scourge: Heads up! Incoming ‘Mechs!

Deuce: How’d they find us? Command said this place was clean.

Scourge: Less talk, more rock! We’ll have plenty of time to ponder it later.

Scourge: Somethin’s buggin’ me. If they found us, they probably found out about the goods. Damn!

Scourge: Hm! Another lance of ‘Mechs! What a surprise!

Deuce: Looks like they’re trying to cut us off, keep us away from the goods.

Scourge: Think you’re right. Let’s show ‘em the error of their ways.

Deuce: Copy that, boss. Lead the way.

Scourge: It’s your butt if they reach the goods.

Deuce: Understood. I’ll be worm food before they get what’s ours.

Scourge: Hard to believe, but I think it’s over. They’re gone.

Deuce: Tell me again why Command only sent two ‘Mechs off to guard this stuff.

Scourge: Ours is not to question why, Deuce. Keep that in mind.

[If germanium destroyed]

Base: Lance Leader, we’ve lost the goods.
