MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries/Spaceport

New Avalon[edit]

New Avalon is the throne world of the Federated Suns, a temperate world of prosperity and civilization. Until recently, it has remained untouched in the FedCom Civil War, but now, at the end, it has witnessed some of the most savage fighting of the conflict.

Spaceport[edit]

BRIEFING[edit]

Break out of the spaceport and get to the rendezvous point. Katrina’s agents have urgent instructions for the next phase of the operation. Destroy or evade Davion checkpoints as you move through the city.

Castle: We’ve been contacted by Katrina’s intelligence network, the Rabid Foxes. We are to coordinate through them for some sort of rescue attempt. Things are a little bleak. Now it’s about survival. You’ll need to mix stealth, speed, and firepower to pull this off. I suggest taking ‘Mechs in the heavy range, with ECM mounted. We’re going in covertly aboard a commercial DropShip. We’ll be limited in lance size and weight. Good luck, commander.

DURING MISSION[edit]

Castle: TacOps is secured at the designated site. Spaceport and surrounding area is crawling with Davion Light Guard units.

Spectre: We are clear of the DropShip. Moving to clear spaceport.

Mustang: They’ve made us!

Spectre: Take out the fuel tanks and radar stations. Let’s give them plenty else to worry about.

Spectre: Copy. I also mark an inbound Medium Lance. Take them down fast. We have to get this area quiet and get out of here before the Light Guards respond in force.

Spectre: Area clear. Still no word, Castle?

Rabid Fox: Spectre, we’re on your tail. This was supposed to be a covert drop.

Spectre: Sorry, they didn’t go for our clever disguises.

Rabid Fox: Clear us a path out of here. Marking exit point Delta.

Spectre: Roger, marking Delta.

Castle: More choppers moving to cut you off, sir!

Rabid Fox: Be advised, I also mark a pair of Light ECM ‘Mechs. You need to take them out fast, Spectre.

Spectre: Roger. Moving to engage.

Rabid Fox: We are clear of the Light Guards. Six hours out from mission site. You can repair and reload at Fox Camp while we go over your next debrief.

Spectre: Castle, lay low in the area. We will rendezvous after the next mission. Over.

Castle: Acknowledged. Watch your back, sir.

Spectre: I will. Spectre out.

AFTERMATH[edit]

Castle: We are clear of the spaceport and have reunited with the rest of the unit. I hope coming here was worth it, sir. Katrina’s been arrested and taken off planet under great secrecy. Her intel liaison has assured me we can recover the Archon with a pair of decisive strikes against lightly defended targets. To be frank, sir, I don’t trust him at all. Watch your back out there.
