Situation:
Grant's Station Tango, Nuevo Roma
TOMANS, LYRAN ALLIANCE
01 August 3068
"Tomans isn't my first choice for R&R, but after the year we've had, the Irregulars 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 IE's main research facility here, but you can see the beach from anywhere in the complex, and it's the 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'd 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 turkeys, they destroyed my entire unit; the second time cost me my wife and the kids' Mom. I've ordered everyone to stay close, just in case. I hope I'm wrong." Excerpt from personal log: D. J. Callaghan, Capt., C.O., Aug. '68
On the first of August 3068, while the 1st Outreach Irregulars were garrisoning the planet's main facility, Caine Genome Research Center, The mysterious Green Ghosts arrived on planet. Well-trained, well-equipped and strongly disciplined, the unit pressed the attack when they found the mercenaries and despite being heavily outnumbered, the Ghosts nearly broke their lines before being driven back. And just as things seemed could end well, a Clan Jade Falcon force appeared also ready to raid the planet. They started shooting both the Green Ghosts and the mercenaries. The Green Ghosts decided to leave in the ensuing chaos, so the Jade Falcons kept pressing, but they found Drake Callaghan wanting. After having taken out three Falcon Mechs, a Star Captain in an Executioner challenged him. After their Star Captain went down, the Falcons retreated, leaving the mercenaries holding the battlefield. IE lost about a third of their buildings, but their casualties should be light.
{Excerpt from Wolfnet report 30680929/271-Beta, filed by agent Ramios 2}
When the damned Jade Falcons showed up and started shooting at both sides, The Ghosts didn't like their chances, so they retreated, and we lost them in the ensuing chaos. Captain Callaghan's demeanor when the Falcons showed up was surprising so say the least. I knew he hated the Falcons, but I didn't realize how deep his hatred ran until he started using alpha strikes on the closest Clan target. After he destroyed his third falcon, a Star Captain Kacius Malthus in an Executioner challenged him. I have included the footage of the fight with this report, and I have never witness'ed such a brutal or one-sided trial between a Clanner and an Inner Sphere warrior. Chief Tetsuko-Ayres thinks he can salvage some of the Executioner's parts, but I am not taking any bets on that happening.
