Situation
GRANT'S STATION TANGO, NUEVO ROMA
TOMANS, LYRAN ALLIANCE
1 AUGUST 3068
Journal Entry #398
Tomans isn't my first choice for R&R, but after the year we've had, the Shieldbreakers need some down time. Between the missions and the current state of the Inner Sphere, there's no telling when we'll get the chance again.
Officially, we're garrisoning I.E.'s main research facility here, but you can see the beach from anywhere in the complex, and it's freshest air we've inhaled in months. If it wasn't for the occasional earthquake and the Jade Falcons sitting only a jump away, it would be perfect.
So, why do I have a feeling of dread that something nasty is coming? Maybe it's because the first time I tangled with those green bastards, they decimated my old unit, the second time it cost me Grandpa's 'Mech.
I've ordered everyone to stay close, just in case. I hope I'm wrong, I really do.
