BattleTech this is Commander Steiner

enemy drop ships are approaching all

Staff Inc execute defense plan Alpha

this is not a drill your insolence has

provoked the fury of the Clans prepare

to be destroy prepare yourself

pal it's going to take a lot more than

that to conquer Somerset your mission to

collect Intelligence on the Clans is

temporarily

suspended what about Somerset what about

my family the technology you

appropriated from the enemy has been

quickly incorporated into new me

prototypes your revised mission is to

test this new equipment in actual combat

even if it means going to a planet

currently being held by Clan forces like

maybe some no longer are you Siro

Ramirez now you will be known as Siro

Mech Warrior of Clan Jade Falon I

received a message from the planet

Apollo from Commander Andrew Steiner why

do you think he will respond to such a

message major stunner would risk

anything to help his brother major look

out it's an

ambush do you have any final words

before we eliminate you go with the

blow if the Clans can turn zero against

us how do we know they aren't doing it

to everybody on some

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 the ancient enemies

have reunited and we're going to take

back our

[Music]

galaxy

Pavo we've been combing this sector for

6 months now there is nothing left to

salvage in the somerset system why do

you refuse to move on unlike you

technicians we in the merchant cast are

nothing if not thorough thorough is

hardly the first word that Springs to

mind ah my sensor is picking up

something displayed on the primary

screen do we not yet have enough in our

cargo hole we in the merchant class have

a same there is no such thing as enough

magnify

image

scrap perhaps but it will help offset

our fuel

costs let us examine the

goods freeze this ship is now the

property of the first Somerset Strikers

about time they opened up that thing it

was getting Mighty cramped in there

don't even think about

[Music]

moving what are you doing Val I thought

you said you had zero g combat training

I didn't say I

pass yeah looks like we hit the jackpot

what do you want with us we are not

Warriors

neither are they this is clearly the

work of inner sphere Bandits may kinsky

have mercy okay put a lid on it now

who's in charge

here which one of you can pilot the ship

down to

Somerset those clanners aren't going to

know what hit them after 6 months we're

finally coming

home this is merchant ship Prosperity

requesting permission for approach I

read you Prosperity now awaiting your

access code this would not be a good

time for heroics Bravo Alpha Tango

730 acknowledge Prosperity you are

cleared for landing nice work pavle now

what can you tell me about the current

status of the planet the resistance has

been crushed by our Valiant Jade Falcon

Warriors spare us the propaganda what do

you know about the survivors most have

been indoctrinated into the way of the

Clans absorbed into either the

technician or labor cast however there

are some hard cases who refuse to join

the Clan's fear of prosperity they are

enjoying the hospitality of our

re-education camp and where exactly is

this re-education Camp Somerset Military

Academy Adam do you think we'll find

your brother there if I know Andrew

he'll be in with the hard cases once

we're in with the prisoners Kylie and I

will try to locate Andrew this isn't

exactly how I pictured my big homecoming

all right meanwhile we'll get to a

computer terminal and plant a virus into

the orbital scanning system so The Quon

can land undetected you sure you can

find your way around the system oh I

hope so I programmed

it what have they done to this place

Adam this was our home I know just

remember you're a clan technician this

place means nothing to

you state your business we found these

two hold up in the wild they actually

surrender to the merchant cast they

appear to be deeply in need of

re-education take them to the

[Music]

barracks thank you we would take it from

here excuse me we still need to get

inside and what business have you

Merchants inside a restricted facility

we have orders to inventory the of its

teaching facilities your scavengers

already picked this place clean you

barely left the wall standing what about

training holid they can be deed and

recycled battle simulators can be

stripped for their circuitry those were

the first things your people took

exactly and now we have to triple check

that nothing was overlooked unless you

insist on holding us here all

day plus you Merchant cast dogs invent

to keep yourselves

occupied

[Music]

Brethren of the inner sphere as you know

your decadent rulers abandoned you long

before the Clans arve they have been too

selfishly preoccupied fighting each

other to be concerned with your

needs any sign of your brother silence

there is no talking during a

re-education

session but now is the dawn of a bright

new day the clans have arrived to save

the inner sphere from turmoil and Chaos

establish ling a wondrous orderly

Society where everyone has a vital role

Warriors scientists Merchants

technicians

laborers I'm looking for your commander

Andrew Steiner is he still

[Music]

alive I said silence

Sarat

it's

clear I think I found a backup terminal

Outlet let's just hope it's still

active we're

in do you mind sorry

nervous what H is that good or bad it's

what I was afraid of the clients have

installed their own viral protection

software can you patch into it no but I

can crash it only problem is they're

going to

notice fine pull the plug this ain't the

time for subtlety that's it their

orbital scanners are blind ground crew

to Quon you are clear to land repeat you

are clear to land now you just sit tight

until we hear from

commander and learn your

Cadets four me and a truck full of

blasters we'll never pull it off wow

repair the scanning system

this

assignment I see you survived your bath

belong to a unit that has been a

constant Thoren in my side tell me where

is your leader your major Adam Steiner

angry begging the star Captain's pardon

but could this Adam Steiner be one of

the prisoners they brought in with

them good thinking

dumper assemble all prisoners in the

courtyard attention prisoners

sabotage this compound they have only

succeeded in proving once again that

resistance is

FAL two more sabator stand among you I

ask them now to step forward if you

refuse the fate of your comrades will be

[Music]

sealed very well since Adam Steiner will

not step

forward

leader Adam Steiner you will reveal

yourself in 5 seconds or all three of

your cohorts will be

[Music]

rather have fighting at my

side I ever tell you how proud I am of

you no but I try not to take it

[Music]

personally this one is

mine

Striker sorry Kristen we've got other

plans enough with this pitiful excuse

for a Mech

Warrior I want Adam Steiner

lady you just made a big

mistake this targeting system's

remarkable how did our research people

come up with this thing actually we

stole it from the guys you're sh**ting

at Andrew you've got a clan targeting

you aim for his heat sinks just below

his left arm listen R I don't know how

you work things my kid brother but this

Steiner calls his own

shots it's like I always say you say

information is ammunition one more time

I'm going to swing this axe in a very

uncomfortable

place oh and by the

way

thanks

[Music]

Simon Says hands in the

[Music]

air anybody know which one shuts off the

search light

[Music]

better safe than

sorry Brethren of the inner sphere as

you long before the Clans

arrived

dizzy yo smart guy your shoelace is

untied I will not move until you and

your Strikers are eliminated Adam

Steiner sorry lady but you got the wrong

Steiner ease up Adam this is my fight if

it's all the same to you I'd like to

take this one out we go back ways she

goes back further with me hold it guys

Adam adjust your targeting Vector 12° to

the left Andrew adjust yours 70° to the

right you'll fry her heat sinks together

good strategy I can see why you work

with

her warning he's think at saturation

point
