01x05 - Trade Secrets

[bunniefuu]

previously on Battle Tech our only hope

lies with

cooperation I am a businessman not a

Warrior when this Mission ends and the

Invaders are gone what happens to us

you'll be free to return to the draconus

combine along with your ship I am

Nikolai malus of Clan Jade Falcon the

Conqueror of Somerset won and

prous so you're the monster who

destroyed my home world oh I'm hitting

you with everything I've

[Music]

got warning Fusion reactor breached

critical failure in 14

seconds I'm not picking up any emergency

signal he must not have fired his Escape

pod

this is the inner sphere thousands of

planets colonized by humankind once it

was United under the star league but for

the last 300 years it has been consumed

by Savage

Wars until a new enemy appeared

mysterious Invaders known as the

Clans powerful and ruthless they struck

like lightning attacking every sector at

once but they made one big mistake they

attacked my home planet now in the

spirit of the star league ancient

enemies have reunited and we're going to

take back our

[Music]

galaxy

we are gathered today to honor a valiant

Warrior Lieutenant zero Ramirez he was a

hero who fought valiantly to protect the

citizenry of Romulus a comrade who

exemplify the standards to which all of

us in the first Somerset Strikers Aspire

isn't he laying it on a bit thick

despite his faults Z selflessly battled

to keep the inner sphere free from the

Jade Falcon Clan's Invasion Force he

deserved the title battle Mech Warrior

goodbye

zero hard to believe but I'm really

going to miss

[Music]

you what's going on in here you've

better be awfully sick Stat or

else

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

as you can see little bondsman there is

nothing to be gained by

[Music]

fleeing and even less by

resisting the strikers have not

forgotten me they will come and they

will free me that is precisely what I

was hoping to

hear all right guys it's high time we

resume our primary mission of gathering

information now as you can see here the

Clans are wreaking havoc across the

entire inner sphere they're taking

planets all over the Federated

Commonwealth and draconus combine now

their mechs are faster they're more

powerful can take twice the punishment

and never overheat gee thanks for the

current events lesson major what can we

do well if we learn the secrets behind

their technology we just might even the

odds on the ha has been anything dis

Advanced since the star league come on

kensky and his troops left the inner

sphere 300 years ago perhaps they met up

with the Clans now the last reported

Clan strike was right here at T cross

apparently they're trying to use one of

our bases as a supply post if we pay

them a surprise visit we might just be

able to appropriate some of their exotic

Hardware by appropriate do you mean

steal let's call it a permanent loan

like take a baseball bat away from a

bully now the Strike Team will consist

of Val and me Haw and Kylie you'll keep

the back door open covering our Retreat

while Rachel remains on board The Quon

to coordinate the operation with only

one Mech to

coordinate again I have to stand outside

watch and wait at least you'll be

[Music]

safe now entering orbit I'm breathing a

heavy wind storm Center directly over

our Landing site I know but it's our

best bet for touching down undetected

Kylie we'll need you to scout ahead your

Banshee is more maneuverable than the

drop

ship come on baby don't fight me now the

wind's too Fierce major you better not

try to Kylie Kylie do copy something's

wrong major stations people we're going

in after her follow her trajectory

fasten your seat belts people we're in

for a fpy ride boost the power to those

stabilizers Landing thrusters on full

zugo

now Adam I'm picking up an SOS it's

pretty

[Music]

weak about time you guys got

[Music]

here watch the fingers talk I cannot

clear her to fly what are you talking

about I'm

F this medip Pat should help you

[Music]

rest I could have used these in a couple

of scraps on Dust ball this is

medication not some toy it should be

used

responsibly major I must protest the

risks you are taking with this ship hey

you were aware of the danger when you

agree to be part of this Mission what's

the matter Frank rough Landings make you

space sick I am still responsible for

the safety of The Quon and its crew and

I will protect them in any way I deem

necessary what do you think you're doing

you are staying put on the drop ship if

anything happens to me someone's going

to carry on the real mission to free

Somerset I'll be more useful figuring

out their technology if it's right in in

front of me I can't afford to lose your

Rachel you're far too

valuable then how about giving me a

chance to be valuable Adam I am part of

the team she's got you there

[Music]

major what's going on down there looks

like the last of the twi cross

militia all units switch to enhanced

[Music]

Imaging together we will crush the final

Embers of resistance on this

world how are we supposed to get past

that off hand I'd say with Extreme

Caution once again I find myself pit

against unworthy

adversaries you sure this is the safest

route no but it's the quick

[Music]

if I can just plant one of these babies

under their legs no Val we can't risk

revealing our presence we'll do a lot

more for the inner sphere by getting a

hold of that Clan

technology inner spere cowards would

rather flee than perish With Honor well

congratulations on your latest planetary

Conquest star Colonel Nikolai M I hereby

order you to turn Twi cross over to Star

Captain Kristen Redmond's Garrison

troops with all due respect Galaxy

Commander my premature departure from

Romulus resulted in that planet's loss

to a small band of rebels my Garrison is

fully capable of holding this oversized

grain of sand I merely wish to be

certain that this planet is secure

before leaving it in lesser hands very

well may remain on Twi cross for an

additional 48

[Music]

Hours okay now this is where the clan

me's heat signatures cut out what they

do sink into the sand maybe there's an

entry hatch down there now if I remember

right the twi cross militia had an

underground base near here come

[Music]

on guys Rachel what's wrong we're in big

trouble

[Music]

nice work B you realize you could have

blown us up along with that ceiling

desperate situations call for desperate

measures

major

[Music]

thanks can I help you

I did not realize my run of this ship

was

[Music]

restricted there's no way to get past

him without

blasting what's he doing say buddy which

way is sector D what huh

no minipet don't leave home

without huh didn't take them long to set

up shoping the malicious

computers now if I can just get the

system to download the coordinates of

their Armory I might just find out where

those suits are

stored Bingo sector six G okay now let's

see what else we can find there isn't

time Rachel let's go almost

through you you there

halt this what passes for subtlety on

Somerset would it help if I said I was

sorry please s was it something we

said

[Music]

your former commander and his

compatriots were found skullking around

this complex they belong to me now their

fatures are un certain but there is

surely a place for you Among

[Music]

Us

[Music]

I knew bringing you along was a mistake

this isn't a training Mission I said I

was sorry you wanted in writing what

have we here major Adam Steiner of the

first Somerset Strikers my my I believe

he recently requested that I take up my

quarrel with him personally open up

these bracelets pal and we'll get real

personal this one shows Spirit he will

make a fine addition to the L neor

cast and what does this one have to say

3 2 one

[Music]

complex run by a

computer B them before the Escape you're

a miracle worker you know that yeah you

Not guys we have hit the

jackpot let's move Strikers it won't

take them long to figure out why we're

here their objective is crystal clear

and when they come for you we will be

waiting to greet them these babies ought

to come with an instruction man there's

got to be some way to adjust them I

don't see any controls

[Music]

fire short range

missiles did you see that Adam these

suits respond to vocal commands oh you

think so the vocal interface must be

derived from Star leag Technology can

the analysis wait till

Vendetta how lamentably un

plan perhaps but I will make Adam

Steiner pay for this insult and he will

pay

dearly
