<Spoint> After one or two lights are diabled, Michael is to break off and join us

in-close. K/P cover him

[18:12] <GM_narrator> Michael: Adrian, let Kelly and Patrick take care of the

lights, my mech's better used against slower heavies

<Spoint> Agreed, but I'm worried about that cross-fire thing you brought up.

<Spoint> It's difficult to reverse years of training!

[18:13] <GM_narrator> I'm going to circle around your right side, so i'll come up

outside the line facing the heavy mechs

[18:13] <GM_narrator> {that was Michael}

<Spoint> very well. K/P, call if you have problems.

[18:13] <GM_narrator> Kelly: willdo

<Spoint> {P is in a Thunderbolt?}

[18:14] <GM_narrator> yeah

[18:14] <GM_narrator> problem?

[18:14] <GM_narrator> lrms and lls

[18:14] <GM_narrator> actually, just one LL

[18:14] <GM_narrator> but w/ JJ's

<Spoint> ??? huh? What varient?

[18:14] <GM_narrator> His is configured similar to Maeve Wolf's Thunderbolt from

"Wolf Pack"

[18:15] <GM_narrator> bye [NICK]

<Spoint> I have the TDR-7M from TR 3050

<Spoint> 4/6/0, 1xERLL, 1xLRM15, 3xML, SRM2, 2xMG

[18:16] <GM_narrator> try something more like the Eridani Light Horse mod (3rd

paragraph).

<Spoint> 15DHS, CASE, etc.

<Spoint> OK, IC

[18:18] <GM_narrator> 4/6/4, 1xLPL, 1xLRM10, 3xML, 15DHS, Case, etc

[18:18] <GM_narrator> got it?

<Spoint> OK, that's better.

[18:18] <GM_narrator> Ok, Kelly blows a light out of the water (a Panther) w/ 4

LPL blasts to the ct (at a range of 375m)

<Spoint> OK, they should be able to handle the lights. I had the Thunderbolt

pegged as fire support, which is why I was worried.

<Spoint> OK, Michael goes for the heavies.

[18:19] <GM_narrator> not really.

[18:20] <GM_narrator> Michael: yes sir!

[18:20] <GM_narrator> Michael engages jump jets and jumps right next to a

Caterpheract that's 100m out.

[18:20] <GM_narrator> He smacks it hard!

<Spoint> I engage another one at medium range.

[18:21] <GM_narrator> ok, this one's a Guillotine

<Spoint> {Is michael taking the mech with TSM?}

[18:21] <GM_narrator> There's also a Battlemaster bringing up the rear.

[18:21] <GM_narrator> hell yes

[18:22] <GM_narrator> The Clans don't have another Axman.

<Spoint> {Wouldn't that be a little conspicuous??}

[18:22] <GM_narrator> {talk to Khan Natasha after the battle}

[18:23] <GM_narrator> Welcome back {[NICK]}

<Spoint> Ok, what's livengood's Archer variant?

[18:24] <GM_narrator> Kelly reports another light destroyed (a Commando)

[18:24] <GM_narrator> {i was going to use my ARC-13L, but figured that'd be way to

obvious. Let me look it up}

<Spoint> I start taking on a Guillotine. Livengood to pepper the Battlemaster

with LRM's

[18:25] <GM_narrator> {The ARC-5W, p. 162, paragraph 4}

[18:26] <GM_narrator> brb

[18:26] <GM_narrator> back

[18:27] <GM_narrator> There's also a Jagermech

<Spoint> OK, but maybe swap NARC for Artemis? (Not much LRM's other than his mech

...)

[18:27] <GM_narrator> Kelly reports a Phoenix Hawk and a Griffin left.

[18:28] <GM_narrator> {oh yeah, figure that's been done}

[18:28] <GM_narrator> Griffin minus LA - thank you Patrick

<Spoint> JaegerMech is less dangerous than a BattleMaster (I think)

[18:28] <GM_narrator> Cataphract minus RA - thank you Michael

[18:28] <GM_narrator> {yeah, probably}

<Spoint> Lots of small, long-range weaponry I beleave.

[18:29] <GM_narrator> You take hits

[18:29] <GM_narrator> from the Guillotine and Jagermech

<Spoint> I move to short range and pound the guillotine with the Mediums -- Hold

off on an LL to save heat.

<Spoint> (Also PPC and other LL)

[18:29] <GM_narrator> Cataphract now minus H - thank you Michael

[18:30] <GM_narrator> cataphract now minus LA

[18:30] <GM_narrator> you now minus 80% RT armor

<Spoint> How? I start moving around more, definging the side.

[18:30] <GM_narrator> Griffin now minus both legs - thank you Kelly

<Spoint> Grell, Get the yagerMech's attention, please (What's he been doing so

far, anyway?)

[18:31] <GM_narrator> Michael: do you want me on the Cataphract or the Jagermech

<Spoint> The cataphract is dead without its head, right?

<Spoint> {}

[18:32] <GM_narrator> uuummm, Grell's been taking on the guillotene

[18:32] <GM_narrator> Yeah, the Cataphract is dead

[18:33] <GM_narrator> Guillotene minus LL

<Spoint> Knock it over, and move on to the Jaegermech.

[18:33] <GM_narrator> you minus 75% armor LA, take hits from the BAttlemaster

<Spoint> Michael, stop the Battlemaster before if gets too close.

[18:34] <GM_narrator> Michael: on my way

[18:34] <GM_narrator> Michael: ok

[18:34] <GM_narrator> Battlemaster minus RA - thank you Kelly

<Spoint> Livengood, watchout for Michael. Don't hit him.

<Spoint> Patrick, finish off the last mech. Kelly, you're with us.

[18:35] <GM_narrator> Livengood: Sir

<Spoint> Battlemaster should be pepered by now with several rounds of LRM20

[18:35] <GM_narrator> Phoenix Hawk minus LA - thank you Patrick

[18:35] <GM_narrator> Yeah

[18:35] <GM_narrator> Patrick reports he's lost his LL

[18:36] <GM_narrator> Battlemaster minus RL

<Spoint> Huh? What's the Jaegermech look like?

[18:36] <GM_narrator> you minus LA

[18:36] <GM_narrator> pretty bad

<Spoint> I Start firing w/everything -- heat not a problem any more

<Spoint> Kelly, Patrick might need you back there after all.

<Spoint> So, I'm on the JaegerMech, Kelly on the PH, LivenGood and Michael on the

BM, Grell on what's left of the Guillotine -- did I leave anyone out?

[18:38] <GM_narrator> Michael: Livengood, help out Patrick

<Spoint> Do it

[18:38] <GM_narrator> Michael: Adrian, that'll spook the Phoenix Hawk, taking

fire from another direction.

[18:39] <GM_narrator> Livengood fires on the Phoenix Hawk

<Spoint> I understand.

[18:39] <GM_narrator> Battlemaster is down - AC20 to the LL

[18:39] <GM_narrator> thank you Michael

<Spoint> We should be finishing them off by now ...

<Spoint> Good work, Michael.

[18:40] <GM_narrator> Guillotine Down

[18:40] <GM_narrator> Patrick lost his other leg, and is down

[18:40] <GM_narrator> Phoenix hawk takes 40 LRMs, pilot ejects

<Spoint> Kelly, move in on Patrick.

<Spoint> Grell, you're with me.

[18:40] <GM_narrator> you loose your LA

<Spoint> I call out a surrender demand.

<Spoint> (I already lost that)

[18:41] <GM_narrator> JaegerMech blows up (ammo explosion - you broke through the

LT)

<Spoint> (So much for surrender)

[18:41] <GM_narrator> oh, then your other arm

[18:41] <GM_narrator> no one's left

<Spoint> I wanted the JaegerMech to surrender.

<Spoint> Well, not too bad for a training exercise.

[18:42] <GM_narrator> Return to base

<Spoint> I call out, OK, people, pull it together. We'll meet in debriefing room

one for the analysis.

[18:42] <GM_narrator> in debrief room: Phalen, Ragnar, your crew

<Spoint> hold on, taking quick notes.

[18:43] <GM_narrator> ok

<Spoint> sorry bout that.

[18:47] <GM_narrator> no prob

<Spoint> What's grell riding around in again?

[18:47] <GM_narrator> what do you say

[18:47] <GM_narrator> some Maurader var

<Spoint> OK

<Spoint> All, righty then.

<Spoint> Debriefing.

[18:48] <GM_narrator> do you say anything?

[18:48] <GM_narrator> the usual?

<Spoint> I say, combat summary: 8 enemies down, one mech un-leggeed, one

dismembered.

<Spoint> Any comments?

[18:49] <GM_narrator> Michael to Adrian: actually, as long as we don't overtly

use clan tactics, as long as we win, our style of fighting doesn't matter.

<Spoint> Usual damage to other mechs.

<Spoint> OK, so no calling out ritual challenges :)

[18:50] <GM_narrator> Michael: also, for the most part, any fighting we do will

be one on one, or at most, two on two, in the arenas. Solaris doesn't have

unit training fields like we have here or are avaiable on Outreach.

<Spoint> What worries me is that we might have done too well.

[18:51] <GM_narrator> <<Spoint> OK, so no calling out ritual challenges :)>

Michael: Exactly.

<Spoint> We're supposed to be the remnants of a unit. But we just took out 8

mechs to our six, and only lost one mech.

<Spoint> Even that is salvageable.

[18:52] <GM_narrator> Natasha enters

[18:52] *** GM_narrator is now known as GM_Natasha

[18:53] <GM_Natasha> Pretty good job, Captain. Remember your cover story - you'll

be able to fight together as a unit, but not perfectly. Also, all of your

communications will be superencrypted, so don't worry about that.

<Spoint> We snap to attention.

[18:54] <GM_Natasha> at ease

<Spoint> we relax

[18:54] *** GM_Natasha is now known as GM_TFS

[18:54] <GM_TFS> anything else?

<Spoint> That's a relief -- in the stress of combat, I didn't realize we had

slipped back to Clan battle language.

[18:56] <GM_TFS> anything else you want to do before arriving on Solaris?

<Spoint> no

[18:57] <GM_TFS> .

[18:57] <GM_TFS> .

[18:57] <GM_TFS> .

[18:57] <GM_TFS> .

[18:57] <GM_TFS> .

[18:57] <GM_TFS> it's a smooth, quite trip to Solaris.

[18:58] *** GM_TFS is now known as GM_narrator

<Spoint> OK

<Spoint> we read up about theIS a little more

[18:58] <GM_narrator> ust a sec

<Spoint> brb

[19:02] <GM_narrator> ok. Had to check something

[19:02] <GM_narrator> you arrive in Solaris Space on July 30, 3053

<Spoint> back

[19:02] <GM_narrator> The authorities believe your cover story. It helps that you didn't

travel in a warship

<Spoint> OK, my ISP will boot me in 20 minutes, so let me disconnect real fast.

[19:03] <GM_narrator> Ok.

<Spoint> Michael and I go. I tell michael to do most of the talking for now

[19:13] <GM_Michael> Customs: thank you

[19:13] <GM_Michael> Customs: what is your business on Solaris?

<Spoint> If Michael doesn't answer, I say, "We're here to have a good time"

<Spoint> but only if Michael doesn't answer

[19:14] <GM_Michael> Our unit got blown out fighting the clans over the other side of Lyran

space. A few of us managed to hire a js to get us back here. Lookin' to use our

expirence, earn some money, have some fun and r n r.

[19:15] <GM_Michael> {he answers, just took me a min to type it in}

<Spoint> Eight, I believe

<Spoint> (playing dumb)

[19:17] <GM_Michael> eight? oh yeah, donnie kicked it. Ok, put us down for, um, 10,

including our ds captian.

[19:17] <GM_Michael> Customs: ok.

<Spoint> OK

[19:20] <GM_Michael> {only put in 3 - some Enya and some Adiemus, cause i don't know what

else to put in right now}

[19:20] <GM_Michael> Customs: and how long will you be staying on Solaris?

<Spoint> {That should keep you going. :)}

[19:21] <GM_Michael> we'd like to apply for a semi-permant habitation/work visa.

[19:22] <GM_Michael> Customs: those have a duration of 8 months. After that, you'll need

to renew. You'll also need to find work in order to renew.

[19:22] <GM_Michael> i know. Thanks.

[19:22] <GM_Michael> Customs: that'll be 250 C-bills each, total 2500 C-bills.

[19:22] <GM_Michael> {to you} pay the man, would ya?

<Spoint> I pull out the bills and (still acting a little dumb) count out 2500

[19:23] <GM_Michael> what about our dropship? Can we leave it here?

[19:24] <GM_Michael> Customs: yes, you can rent pad space starting at 2000 C-bills per

month.

[19:24] <GM_Michael> we'll think about it. We get what, a week with the landing fees?

[19:24] <GM_Michael> Customs: yes.

this time of year, and rises around 6:30am or so.

<Spoint> OK. Still feeling a little fatigued from the trip, I decide to just drop off the

papers tonight, and get cracking tomorrow.

[19:34] *** GM_narrator is now known as GM_Randel

[19:35] <GM_Randel> Adrian, i hooked into the local news net. Remember that guy Kai Allard,

destroyed the Sick Pigeons on Twycross? Looks like he's doing pretty good for himself.

He's ranked #7 in the top level warrior rankings, and just beat #4, Paul Victorien.

<Spoint> Impressive ratings ... How good are these Solaris people reputed to be?

[19:37] <GM_Randel> Donno. You might want to ask Michael or Greg.

[19:37] <GM_Randel> All i know is that the Sick Pigeons are scared sick of Mr. Allard here.

<Spoint> That is true -- but they would be. :)

[19:38] <GM_Randel> do you give any orders, or otherwise say anything to the others?

<Spoint> OK, I'll deliver these papers, and we'll start fresh tomorrow. Michael, care to

join me?

We'll descend on the city tomorrow. If you want to leave, talk to me.

dinner w/ my parents. We can resume after, but that's not here yet}

<Spoint> Anyone else going?

<Spoint> (I ask)

[19:48] *** GM_Sara is now known as GM-narrater

[19:49] <GM-narrater> nope. Everyone else is going to get some shut eye, or read local

news, or in Randel's (and the other techs) check up on the mechs.

[19:49] <GM-narrater> next day?

<Spoint> no -- I have to drop off the papers first, but otherwise, yeah.

[19:50] <GM-narrater> ok. done

<Spoint> Sure. I've had enough of dropship fare.

[19:54] <GM_Michael> Sorry Klen, you're gonna have to wait here. I didn't see much in the

way of 2 and a half meters tall, 200+ kilos men walking around last night.

[19:54] <GM_Michael> Klen: that's fine.

<Spoint> OK, who's coming?

[19:55] <GM_Michael> let's go. Kelly, Livengood, care to join us. I know of this nice

little cafe a couple of blocks from here.

<Spoint> Hold on a second, we'll need some cash.

[19:56] <GM_Michael> ok

[19:56] *** GM_Michael is now known as GM_narrater

<Spoint> I pull out a roll, and pass some around. I put the rest away somewhere safe.

[19:56] <GM_narrater> whenever Adrian et al's ready to go eat

<Spoint> we're ready.

<Spoint> Where's randel, I ask

[19:57] *** GM_narrater is now known as GM_narrator

<Spoint> Whew! Lucky you! I had to settle for Burger King

[21:07] <GM_THE_FAR_SIDE> ok, where were we. I believe that you were going to breakfast...

[21:07] *** GM_THE_FAR_SIDE is now known as GM_narrator

<Spoint> I also saw the tail end of a wonderful film. Check out an older film called A Big Hand for

the Little LAdy.

<Spoint> Believe me, it is worth seeing!

time last night - rented it over ID4.

<Spoint> I gotta see that sometime.

<Spoint> Sure.

<Spoint> { :) }

[21:10] <GM_narrator> Ok, you leave the spaceport trailing behind Michael.
