MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries/Assault

Assault[edit]

BRIEFING[edit]

Eliminate the Davionists who have been mounting guerrilla strikes against Defiance Industries in support of the Skye separatists. Ensure that their base command structures have been destroyed.

Castle: The Steiner liaison is very eager to stomp out the remaining separatists on Hesperus II. Steiner is offering a high pay scale and full salvage rights. Considering what we’ve seen of the separatist equipment, thus far, it could be a lucrative assault.

DURING MISSION[edit]

Castle: Seems like just a few months ago we were working for the Skye separatists. Now, we’re marching against them.

Spectre: That’s the mercenary’s lot. We go where the pay is.

[If SPONSOR UNIT is not the Gray Death Legion]

Castle: If you don’t mind my saying so, sir, I’ve seen your ethics cloud a contract or two.

Spectre: Heh, heh. True enough. We haven’t chosen sides yet. Pretty soon, we’ll have to, without looking back.

[If SPONSOR UNIT is the Gray Death Legion]

Spectre: These guys murdered a trainload of Gray Death Legionaries, while their 'Mechs were in cargo-holds. I do this job for half salvage and a "thank you" note.

Castle: Why commander how mercenary of you, just don't tell our employer. We could use the funds.

Spectre: Roger. Heh Heh.

[Divergent text ends]

Hannibal: Enemy contact. 900 meters.

Bullseye: Enemy choppers just bounced up on my radar.

Spectre: Watch your fire zones and don’t forget about those turrets.

Spectre: More turrets on the ridges. Calliopes!

Spectre: Comm station and radar at Alpha destroyed.

Spectre: Barracks at Beta eliminated.

Castle: I’m reading a power spike on the Hrothgar.

Spectre: Watch out! That Hrothgar is live. Take its engines out from a distance.

Spectre: The Hrothgar is history.

Spectre: All sites secure. Repeat, base is secure.

Castle: TacOps and Salvage are en route. Great work, sir. I’ve sent a mission update to the Steiner liaison. They should be pretty pleased with the results.

Spectre: Good work, Castle. I’ll see you on site.

AFTERMATH[edit]

Castle: The elimination of the Skye separatist base has pushed Victor’s cronies to the edge. Intel anticipates an impending assault in force against several key targets. The Steiner liaison has an offer open to us regarding defense of a remote proving ground. We’re at the fork in the road, sir. I doubt either side, Victor or Katrina, will allow us to play both sides after this next series of attacks.
