Chao Yang swaggered into the 'Mech bay to prepare Boom Box for battle.  He had finally gotten his second assignment to be part of the recon unit that would be sent to "welcome" whatever the new forces that had dropped in unannounced on Nejiro.  He also heard Asha was going to be sortieing as well along with one of the Pos and an infantry transport.

When he reached his 'Mech, he found the cockpit open, a woman's voice humming a tune.  Smirking, he advanced only to find Julia ripping out a chunk of his one-of-a-kind customized sound system.

"HEY!"  He yelled.  "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

Julia looked out and saw Chao standing there red-faced and chuckled.  "Oh good, you're here."

"What do think you're doing touching my equipment, Goodbrother?"  Chao was incredulous.  "I'll have you know I built that to very exacting specifications."

Julia rolled her eyes.  "Oh, relax, Chao.  I haven't damaged your precious noise machine."  She revealed the component she'd removed.  It was an adapter/transmitter box hooked into Boom Box's radio.  "You're set to go on a recon mission to the mountains.  Recon, as in, a mission where you're not supposed to attract attention to yourself.  So, per the Colonel's orders, I've taken out the adapter you hooked into the radio, so you can't broadcast that blasphemous cacophony you so quaintly refer to as music over everyone's airwaves.  Don't worry, Chao, once the Colonel allows it, I'll put it right back.  You can still listen your "tunes" if you want, but you'll be the only one that will be able to hear them until this mission is done."

Chao wanted to argue further, but if it was Colonel Greyjoy's orders, he had no choice but to obey.  "Fine."  He said through gritted teeth.  "But you'd better put that back when I get back to base.  I still outrank you, after all, Warrant Officer Goodbrother."

"Sure thing, Lieutenant JG Yang."  Said Julia, picking up her tools and the adapter to leave.


OOG:  Anthony, I will be bringing the Raven (with its ghetto blasters disconnected), the Falcon Hawk, the Lt Gauss armed Po (the new one that came with Chao and Meifeng), and my IS Standard Battle Armor aboard the Bravo Badger to the game Sunday.

[jimdigris]

Ogre, will you be joining us for tomorrow's game?  I still have two of your vehicles that weren't finished when I gave you back the minis I painted.  I can get them back to you tomorrow if you are.

[Fyall]

sadly no

[jimdigris]

I'm sorry to hear that.  Hopefully, you can join us again sooner rather than later.

[Fyall]

not even remotely, trying to resolve "Cool Hand Luke"(ask Anthony) issues concerning my father.

[shadhawk]

OK so next mission will be 6/27

Now for a little something from the end of today  >:D

“Tear’s Four to Hunter’s Den, Tear’s Four to Hunter’s Den we found the pods. My BA is checking them out.”
“Hunter’s Den to Tear’s Four Roger. Sit-Rep in ten.”
“Roger Den Sit-Rep in ten.”

“Four A to Four, people are not going to like this.”
“What’s the matter”
“These pods are ComStar.”
“What?”
“They are ComStar pods.”
“OK will pass that up the line.”

“Tear’s Four to Hunter’s Den ID on the pods is ComStar.”
“Roger Tear’s Four. Bring back some of the some of the parts so they can be tested.”
“Roger Den. Will have the boys pickup frags.”

“OK boys grab some parts and we are out of here.”

To: All GSF Commands
Re: Raid on Stark Industries Armor Plant

Commanders
Due to the bandit raid that just took place armor plate will be is shots supply for the next 2 months. Stark Industries assures me that after that they will be able to fill all armor needs for your units. I have spoken to Metal Storm and they will bring in extra supplies but they will not get to us before the end of this month and this will be the only shipment that they can get to us. They will bring in 100 tonnes. This will have to due until Stark is back up and running. Any armor you have is stock is all you will have until the end of the month.

“Nejiro control to all commands we are tracking the EM from the intruder force. They are working their way deeper into the Kiso Mountains. All commands, be advised that units spotted are as follows. Two Marauder class Battlemechs, one Shadow Hawk class Battlemech, one Phoenix Hawk class Battlemech, one Wasp class Battlemech and one Stinger class Battlemech. The following vehicles are with them one heavy LRM carrier, one Po tank, one Regulator tank, one Pegasus tank, one Bandit and Maxim hover transports.”

The Next day. “GSF control to all commands we have lost the EM trail. The intruders have gone dark.”





The militia armor platoon will get Dusty to a safe area for a medical dust off.

The Buffalo transport will arrive at the combat area with its escort and the Cicada will be loader on to it. While the wreckage of the Cicada is loaded different members will be looking over the video the VTOLs shot of the mission of the mission. The members will let out a curse and inform all that the Pegasus, Bandit, Regulator and Maxim all have Fa Shih hanging on them.





“Commander we have movement in the area between Stonehaven and Ceallach.”
“That would be units that dropped the other day. Have our militia go to yellow alert.” Commander Cynbel informs the duty officer. “Inform both the planetary militia and the GSF about this.”
“Yes sir.”
“Also inform all Ichizoku around us of this threat.”





“Commander recon team four has picked up some traces that some heavies have been in the area.”
“Team four’s area is northeast of Ceallach.” Looking at the display. “Great! Get more of the Truen Laoch that way.” Looking over the area maps. “Also have units move so they can block from the northeast to southeast. Inform Whistler that one of our recon units has spotted the traces someone moving northeast of Ceallach.” Checking on just how stretched out the units are. “Get ahold of Tekeda and see what the GSF can do to help us out. And have team four stay on the tracks they found. Just not so close they get themselves shot up.”




“Commander Cynbel I will have a mixed force from Loyalty Forsaken re-routed.” Tekeda informs Commander Cynbel. “The 6th Ghost will also be sending a mixed force as well.”

[shadhawk]

“Commander Cybel scout two has spotted an armored platoon moving in a pass northeast of Stonehaven. They report the platoon has an Ontos Tank, Schrek P.P.C. Carrier, LRM Carrier and a Goblin Tank.”
“That is just great! Can Sinclair or Conchobhar spare and units to help Stonehaven?”
“I will ask them but Conchobar has only light armor and the heavier units that Sinclair has they just picked up. Not sure they have trained crews for them.”
“Whatever they can do will be of help.” Looking over the reports from the GSF. “Any word from recon four?”
“Nothing other than they are following the trail they found.”
“When the GSF unit get here have them setup in Ceallach. When the Ghosts arrive have them help with the search for the intruder units.”
“Yes sir.”

[Fyall]

"Wilco"

[shadhawk]

“Captain, the sensors to the north and south of us are picking up movement.”
“What have you got?”
“Not sure sir. The sensors are picking up a lot of interference.” The sensor operator looks at the readouts. “Whatever they are they are moving toward us.”
“Get some personal on the ATVs and trikes and let’s see what we have out there.” Captain Bonanno looks at the screens. “Ha ve them form two teams, one ATV and three trikes each. Have one team check the north and the other one check the south. Tell them to go no further than 1000 meters from the base. If these contacts are bad guys they don’t have the fire power to deal with them. Have Sato get that Firestarter ready.”
“Yes sir.”





“Sir the northern team reports they have not found anything and the southern team spotted some ‘Mech tracks but no ‘Mechs.”
“That just might be the Locust that got by us. Have the southern team fall back to base. If it is the Locust that thing can make fast work of them if they get caught it any of the wooded areas around them.” Bonanno looks over the map of the area. “Have Soto and his Firestarter go in to that area.”
“You got it sir.”
“Captain Bonanno to all personal we are on red alert. Repeat. All personal Red Alert!” Artillery rounds can be heard in the back ground. “Get all combat personal to stations. All support personal get to shelter.” Switching over to the Battlemech channel. “Sergeant Sato, get your Firestarter out and see if you can find who is dropping the artillery on us.”
“Hai Sir!” Soto gets his ‘Mech moving.
Switching over to the armored unit’s channel. “Bonanno to Lieutenant Baines get the Schiltrons ready for counter battery fire. When Soto finds these SOBs wipe them off the map.”
“With pleasure sir.”
“Lieutenant you better get some of the techs to man the Saladin just in case someone comes calling.”
“Roger that sir.”
Switching to the infantry channel. “Sergeant Exhume get your people ready we may have come company.”
“Yes sir. I will get techs in to the extra BA and have they guard the support personal in the bunkers.”
“Good idea.”
Switching back to the ‘Mech channel. “Sergeants Sighn and Bobbi get your rides ready to go and get one of the techs in the Centurion the way things look we will need it. Have the other techs get my ride ready to go. I am on my way.”


“”Sato to Bonanno, Sato to Bonanno.”
“Bonanno to Sato, Go.”
‘Sir I found the Arty and they are on the move.”
“Can you track them?”
“I can but they got me by over 200 tons.”
“What do you have?”
“Four Catapults, and they are jumping out as we speak.”
“Roger that, RTB and bring the scout team with you. I don’t want them pulling any of you in to an ambush.”
“Roger RTB with scout team.”
“Baines to Bonanno, sir they got the generators. All base weapons are down.”
“Can the techs get them back on line?”
“Negative sir the generators are scrap metal.”
“Just what we the …. needed.” Switching over to the unit wide channel. “Bonanno to all personal get ready for an attack. Base weapons are down. Everyone keep your eyes open.”
“Sir I have a radar track heading away from the base, it looks to be a V.T.O.L. I picked when it cleared the mountain.” Sergeant Sighn reports.


“Captain Bonanno to GSF command we have just taken an artillery attack. Said attack has destroyed the Camps power generators and we are tracking a V.T.O.L. out bound. We request reinforcements.”
“GSF command to Captain Bonanno the only reinforcements in your area are the units the recon units that were dispatched to find the units that just hot dropped.”
“I will take what I can get. My recon just reported four Catapults in my AO. I also need transport for my support personal.”

“GSF command to Captain Bonanno we will have units from the recon mission head your way. We can only get two of the miner transports out to you at this time to help transport your personal. Your people better shower as it will be tight for them.”


“Sir the northern scout team has not seen any enemy units.”
“What are they waiting on?” Bonanno looks over his sensors. “They should have hit us when the artillery stopped.”
“Don’t know sir. The southern team and Soto are on the way back. They report that the Cats are heading north and not looking back.”
“I guess they did their part and now they’re heading to a dust off point.” Checking that all units are getting ready to move out. “I will take any luck I can get at this time.”





“Tekeda to Tai-i Roads, Tekeda to Tai-i Roads we will need you to keep what forces you have at the Stark site. We do not know what units just attacked Camp Kaki and if more units are in that area. We also do not know what units may still be operating in your area. I understand that with the ComGuard, Hand of the Goddess and Ghost units moving out you have two companies in you force. You will need to send patrols out still.”


“Dr. Musashi, Elisio Tekeda. I am calling you so that you and your people will be ready if some of the new problems head your way. The Nijero militia will have an armored platoon move to your compound to help with its defense.”





“Swanson, get your people loading up the transport vehicles with what we have on base. We don’t need to let this bunch get our supplies.” Looking over the camp. “They dropped that arty on the generators, sensor stations and ‘Mechbay. They must have forces in the area.” Checking out his maps. “I will take most of the heavy units and put us between them and you. Get the personal and what you can of the supplies out of here. Take all the light scout toys with you. They can make sure your route is clear. The Alacorn, Schiltrons and Partisan provide your main escort. Have the techs swap the bravo Schiltron over to the alpha configuration the MRM’s will give better support if someone shows to much interest in you before you can hook up with Tan. Also take the Blizzard IS and GDL scout BA. The support personal in them will not be much help in a standup fight but they will make other people think twice about messing with you. Also make sure that you hookup with the others bringing back the Cicada parts. With you both moving together you will have a much better chance of getting to Haken.”

“OK people move like your life depends on it, because it does!” Swanson looks around the bay. “You guys in the Battle Armor give a hand to the loaders and get as much of that gear on the heavy transports as you can.” Grabbing one of the ground pounders. “Get you platoon and help the support people get the flatbeds Loaded.” Looking around once more. “Come on people MOVE!”





“Sir we are running out of space for all the supplies.”
“I know this son.” Swanson looks at all the crates in the holding area. “We got to make due with we got.”
The sound of screaming turbine engines drown out the noise of the cargo loading.
Running outside to see what is going on Swanson almost gets knocked over by the back blast of the engines. “What the ….”
The engines die down and over the crafts external speakers. “Complements of Sho-sa Joseph. I have room for a hundred and twenty tons of cargo.” The Koi pilot opens the front loading doors and extends the loading ramp. As the ramp hits the ground personal in power loaders exit the craft. Also the two miner transports land and get ready to load the support personal.





“Captain Bonnanno to Lieutenant, Tan Captain Bonnanno to Lieutenant Tan Come in Tan.”
“Tan to Bonanno go.”
“Lieutenant I need you, Lieutenant Ash and the rest of your team to meet up with a convoy that has our support personal and supplies.”
“Roger sir. What is going on?”
“The camp just got hit by some arty. I have the unit on red alert and have the non-combat personal moving out.”
“Sir we can return to base and”
“Negative you would never get here in time. Meet up with the convoy and see that it gets to Camp Haken.” Bonanno sends a coded signal to Tan. “I just sent you the convoy’s route. Get them to the safety of Camp Haken.”
“Sir, Hilo or the Mushashi estate are much closer then Haken.”
“Lieutenant, follow my orders. I don’t want who ever just hit us following you and that convoy in to Hilo or the Maushashi estate.” Bonanno signals his combat units to move out. “We still don’t know how much firepower they have. Your unit will be needed to help cover the convoy.”
“What about you and the camp?”
“They camp is scrap for now. Someone dropped arty on it. They took out the power generators, ‘Mechbay and sensor towers.” Watching the terrain as he and what units he has moving to put a buffer between the convoy and the threat. “Also recon units that are out this way will be here faster.”

[shadhawk]

OK people here is your new mission.

Someone is looking to take Camp Kaki. They have taken out the sensor towers, power generators and 'Mechbay.
The artillery unit is moving out from south of the camp.
A large force in moving in from the north.
The Hands of the Goddess will be moving to deal with the force to the north. They will need help giving the time need to get the support personal and supplies they can out of harms way. This convoy will be moving west so it can connect with the Hands forces from Stark's site. They then will be heading to Camp Haken.

The units at Stark Ind. will be held at that site as they still have to keep an eye on that area.

The units that you had on the last mission are the units you will have for this mission. The only extra units are the units from the Hands.
The main force of the Hands will be on the field first. Units from last mission will be entering later.

I will post the order that units will enter later on.

"You want me to lead an expeditionary force?"  Lorren Botley asked Euron.

"That's right, Lorren.  It's time to prove whether or not you're worthy of the rank of Lance Captain."  The Colonel replied.  "I want you to select and lead a lance of 'Mechs to be sent and hot dropped in to Cealleach City to help the Ichizoku defend themselves against our "countrymen" that just landed in their backyard."

"Countrymen?"

"They're using a lot of Capellan and FWL designs, just like we do, although they've been practically confirmed as Word of Blake due to the Comstar drop pods they used.  So, do you have any preferences?"

Lorren thought about it.  "My brother, for one.  His Wraith is fast and jump-capable, even if it's under-armed."

"OK."  Euron nodded.  "Who else?"

"Based on who else is available, Cornelius and his Hollander for the heavy firepower.  And lastly, Theon.  He's been wanting to get into the field for a while now.  And since we just sent out Asha, he's looking for his own action."

"All right.  I'll sign off on that.  Remember, Lorren, this will be your command and your men.  Be sure to bring them home."

Lorren saluted.  "Understood, sir."

OOG: Euron will contact the Governor to acquire transport for Lorren's lance.  As overland is not safe, they'll need to be hot dropped.  Let me know if this is going to mess up your plans.

TO: Sho-sa Kalakaua of the Sixth Ghost
FROM: Kapten Bjornsen,  Winter's Dream
RE: Hearts and Minds.

Sho-sa,

     I hope this missive finds you well. I would like to ask your input on a plan I would like to put into operation, here at the encampment. With your permission, I would like to start on a three-pronged Plan.

     First would be a co-mingling dinner ran every week. What I mean by this is that off base at a restaurant paid for by my command, rotating through the various nearby settlements, our two commands, the local militias and civilians would have a dinner where rank is not in the picture, but clearing the air and getting to know each other is. Each dinner would be attended by one of my executive grade officers, as well as a few guards, armed surreptitiously with "Night-night" Guns. The guards would be there to protect the gathering from outside, as well as internal threats.

     Second would be tours of the base, offered through local community organizations as well as NGOs. The tours would max out at 10 people per group. There would be 2 guards and a "Tour guide" from the enlisted ranks. These tours would be restricted to non-sensitive areas of the base, and may feature a meet and greet with one of the mechwarriors from my command. This would help to demystify the base and it's occupants.

     Third would be drills involving our two units, local NGOs and the local militias and emergency services of the nearby settlements. These exercises would focus on public safety and disaster aid. Example drills would be earthquake recovery, flood prevention, building collapse, and terrorist activity like a bombing or gas release. These exercises would be held once every 3-4 weeks.
     
     I would of course clear all these ideas with the Governor's legal team, to make sure any accidents or incidents do not reflect poorly on us, or the Governor.  Waivers would be provided to everyone involved in the first two parts of this campaign. I am willing to put up the funds to finance this campaign.

Kapten Marius Bjornsen

P.S. If you can think of anything else that can help us win hearts and minds here on Shinrin, please do not hesitate to respond.

No this works better then I could have asked for  :thumbsup:

In that case, Euron will contact the Cealleach Ichizoku to tell them that they'll be getting a lance of 'Mechs to back them up however they need until we can blunt the WoB buzzsaw that's headed for their territory.

BTW, I know I just weakened the force protecting Camp Haken, but we have camp-mates to help pick up the slack.

[Devondra]

OK people here is your new mission.

Someone is looking to take Camp Kaki. They have taken out the sensor towers, power generators and 'Mechbay.
The artillery unit is moving out from south of the camp.
A large force in moving in from the north.
The Hands of the Goddess will be moving to deal with the force to the north. They will need help giving the time need to get the support personal and supplies they can out of harms way. This convoy will be moving west so it can connect with the Hands forces from Stark's site. They then will be heading to Camp Haken.

The main force of the Hands will be on the field first. Units from last mission will be entering later.

I will post the order that units will enter later on.

I know we are supposed to plan via private mail system says my limit has been reached!!! Grr

Kiah tells her people to get on the horn to see if we can get recovery pick up for the scrambling units to aide in evac and pick up slower units and general order to all commanders to be on lookout for altilery

It's a shame you DIDN'T contact me, we could have coordinated a better cohesive QRF, so now I have to cover my base AND yours with a force a 3rd your units size. Absolutely stupid. "Duke" is absolutely livid with a cold Tharkad RAGE.

In that case, Euron will contact the Cealleach Ichizoku to tell them that they'll be getting a lance of 'Mechs to back them up however they need until we can blunt the WoB buzzsaw that's headed for their territory.

BTW, I know I just weakened the force protecting Camp Haken, but we have camp-mates to help pick up the slack.

Well, nobody's left yet.  Before Lorren leaves, Euron will ask "Duke" if he can cover regular patrols around Haken while the lance is gone.  If you can't or refuse, the Colonel may have to scrap the entire idea.  Besides, your base and my base are one and the same as far as I know.  Sorry about that.

No by all means send that force out.
It's more a matter of:
#1 You assumed, w/o even communicating with LoF that we would.
#2 You assumed that the newest, "Greenest", and "SMALLEST" unit of the GSF  could patrol our joint sectors as well as the Hilo vicinty.
#3 Did you even think about approaching "Duke" with the idea of mixed QRF (yours and mine) to respond?  70% of my force on my side of the base are either too slow or not worth deploying in mountainous regions, but there is still the other 30% which can still function adequately.

OOPS!

To respond to your points:
1.  Yes, I f*cked up.  I should have asked first.  I apologize.
2.  I still have plenty of other units at the base that the LoF wouldn't have to cover too many patrols (maybe just one or two).
3.  I'm still not certain how pro-active "Duke" wants to be given that his force is still small (now that you've reminded me :scratches head in embarrassment:) and you may need that specific 30% of your guys for other missions.  However, you did give me an idea for an alternative QRF.  Thank you, sir.

To whit:
Devondra: Euron will send Kiah a message indicating his intention to send an expeditionary force consisting of a lance of Ironborn 'Mechs (the Wolverine, Wraith, Hollander, and Grand Dragon) into Cealleach territory to protect the Ichizoku from the WoBs.  He will also invite her to send a similar force to join them.  Also, as Kiah is in overall command, if she thinks this is a bad idea, Euron will reconsider sending anyone.
