01x09 - Bound by Honor

[bunniefuu]

previously on battle

tank this one appears to be of noble

Heritage you shall have the honor of

serving as my bondsman greetings major

Steiner the technology you appropriated

from the enemy has been quickly

incorporated into new Mech prototypes

your revised mission is to test this new

equipment in actual combat AWS 9d an

awesome certainly lives up to its name

eh BSW X1 the bushwhacker last but not

least an infiltrator and a sloth I

hereby challenge your entire

unit I hereby accept your

challenge they are more heavily oned

than I had

[Music]

imagined th she

blows she can't get away

now

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 Le ancient enemies

have reunited and we're going to take

back our

[Music]

galaxy

launch control this is star Colonel

Nikolai malus prepar to initiate

suborbital drop on my

mark Adam Steiner and his Strikers will

be mine launch control for this

operation we already lost star Captain

Redmond to this unplan likee foolishness

you will take a full star of omnimex and

secure W off 5 if you wish to waste your

time destroying this

Diamond you may do so after you have

conquered the

planet As You Wish Galaxy Commander

excuse me star Colonel but why eliminate

the strikers when you can pick them as

your bondsmen because unlike you

bondsman zero they have no honor they do

not deserve to become one with the Clans

but but think of the glory you could

earn by converting a member of of the

Royal House Steiner to the true vision

of

kensky perhaps but could this Adam

Steiner be swayed I can show him the way

every day you think less like a bondsman

and more like a true warrior you shall

accompany me on this

incursion let's go move it come on move

it move

it all those Clan rats ain't getting

these

[Music]

supplies

what forces dare defend this Outpost

from the fury of the Falcon's

claws all units initiated hand

Imaging

do not allow that drop ship to

escape

attention drop ship crew surrender

yourselves immediately and you will be

incorporated into the clan Merchant cast

resist and you will be

destroyed why do you treat me so

disgracefully everything here is within

the limits of the Aries convention rules

prisoners of w*r prisoner did I not

fight honorably enough to be made your

bondsman sit down now let's get one

thing straight here sweetheart you're

the prisoner we ask the

questions and let's start with these

tattoos they the latest fashioned VI

Jade Falcon

creep our neuros circuitry allows us to

interface directly with our battl

organically integrated cyber Optics

that's incredible if downright barbaric

if you ask me yeah well maybe so honk

but it's one more clue to the Clan's

technological Edge now if you wish I

could wire such circuitry into your

neuro helmets what makes you think we'd

let you go anywhere near our Weaponry

but as your bondsmen I am ready and

willing to serve you in any capacity you

choose wait a second you savagely attack

our world enslave our people and now

we're supposed to trust you you honestly

think we're that

colable

major I am receiving a distress signal

from the quartermaster core Depot they

are being overrun by Clan

NEX it must be Nikolai Maus prepare the

ship for suborbital hop we're going in

after him beware Adam Steiner the star

Colonel has declared a vendetta on you

at least we have something in

common you have 5 Seconds to withdraw

from this drop ship five 4 3 2

1 so the inner sphere Surs have emerged

from hiding have

they let's see how you Clan roosters

fight up

close face it chump we're tougher than

you remember tougher perhaps but not

Invincible starel the strikers are only

useful to the Clans alive they're not

bondman zero you will not be deprived of

your

command better move your men out of here

Sergeant I don't know how much longer we

can hold these Clan

forces you don't have to tell me

[Music]

twice what's wrong with this thing it

can't hit the broadside of a drop ship

it looks like you've got a 6° drift in

your beam focusing lens oh man what I

wouldn't give to be back inside my ax

man success the quartermaster cores have

safely evacuated yeah but the major

could still use some help agreed cover

my

flank bre behind

you

hand I can still move but my weapon

systems friy we got bigger problems

people everybody pull back to the Qui D

we're making a tactical Retreat right

off this rock uh major did you actually

say

retreat

the troops gotone out we can forget

about the supplies our prisoner has

information worth more than anything

we've left behind yeah yeah I know

information is

ammunition speaking of which you see

that structure the clan are

passing according to my data it's packed

with

Munitions Captain Hawkins would you care

to do the honors adri spider sir I

did the cowards are

flee you cannot elude me forever Adam

Steiner this way bondman C we must

survey our aora Isa what your people

refer to as The Spoils of w*r that's the

Major's axmen not any longer I give it

to you to honor your future as a clan

Mech Warrior I have already told you the

Clans are the descendants of General

keny's exiled star league Army the

similarities between Clan and star

league technology seem to support her

claim the ancient star league Army was

sworn to protect the inner sphere if

you're really their descendants why did

you attack us force was deemed necessary

to guide barbarians into the way of the

Clans you're calling us barbarians who

else would cage a trueborn warrior like

an animal I would be considered

disgraced if I treated bonman cero in

this manner did you say

Siro you said it yourself major our

prisoners are worth more than anything

we're leaving behind are you willing to

give up all she can tell us about Clan

tactics and technology in exchange for

cero I can't abandon one of my my

men I am the oath Master say Siro the

house of Ramirez you come to Clan Jade

Falcon from a noble blood Heritage sa

had an auto Cannon fall on top of me

I'll pull

through good I want you and Rachel to

look over my Mech check every circuit

actuator and my bundle for sabotage if I

rather face Malthus in a Mech I'm

familiar

with

[Music]

Adam we've run a thorough diagnostic on

your Mech it checks out fine even the

targeting array whatever the ice cleam

time come on sweetheart bad girls get

sent to their room before

like she could have gone anytime she

wanted to

I'm sending Kylie and Franklin after her

no put everyone on alert malus is up to

something I'll try to stall him as long

as I can that's far enough malus the

trial is over a challenge initiated

cannot be resin by our code of honor

this trial will proceed first your

little partner tries to sabotage my Mech

then she runs off we're about to go into

battle that doesn't sound so honorable

to me in fact it sounds like youve both

been reeling me into a neat little trap

deception is the tool of inner sphere

barbarians either way pal you've got

Kristen now release cero you are a

pitiful coward Adam Steiner trial or no

trial I will not dishonor Myself by

wasting ammunition on you however if you

still wish your zero returned then let

guarantee your status as a Mech

Warrior zero is that you affirmative

bondman without causing you unnecessary

injuries you can cut the axe zero head

Imaging what the Rachel are you getting

this yours I can H it's some kind of

cyber Imaging system well I sure as heck

been Kristen she really was trying to

help zero what are you doing you must

come to understand the way of the Clans

you've obviously been

brainwashed it isn't you who does not

understand the kenis have returned and

with them the star lead we must join

them they will reunite the inner

sphere these animals only want to

enslave the inner

[Music]

sphere this conversation can serve no

further

purpose

I'll say one thing for Christ's

handywork my aim just got a whole lot

better Adam according to my readings

that Refinery expl*si*n is triggering a

chain reaction throughout this entire

Moon the whole planet to is going

off prepare the quadon for liftoff what

about zero zero fire your jump jaet you

can still make it across my honor

demands that I stay with the Clans

forfeited the tri you have earned your

position in Clan Jade Falcon MC Warrior

Sero thank you

starer

[Music]

Adam I'm so sorry we've lost him again

Rachel and this time it's even worse I

know if the Clans can turn cero against

us how do we know they aren't doing it

to everybody on Somerset how do we know

they won't do it to the entire inner

[Music]

sphere well Nikolai it appears Adam

Steiner and his Strikers have proven

equally elusive to us both finding them

again will not be difficult how can can

you be so

destination a miserable little planet
