00:00this is the inner sphere thousands of planets colonized by humankind once it was united under
00:07the storm but for the last 300 years it has been consumed by savage wars until a new enemy appeared
00:15mysterious invaders known as the clans powerful and rudeness they struck like lightning attacking
00:23every sector at once but they made one big mistake they attacked my home planet now in the spirit of
00:30the star league ancient enemies have reunited and we're gonna take back our galaxy
00:53this was supposed to be a training mission
01:06the first somerset strikers versus a bunch of old star league holograms
01:13i would rather practice on a real enemy with weapons that worked
01:18not these deep powered lasers and simulated missiles
01:21oh you want to get blown to bits here or you got to wait your turn like the rest of us
01:26well zero got his wish the clans attacked all units initiate enhanced imaging
01:37like everywhere else they've hit nothing could stop them they mopped up the local militia
01:43oh they came looking for us
01:46how many warriors do you bid in this battle i'm not bidding anything pal i'm hitting you with
01:54everything i've got pretty big talk since our only weapons were training spring blazers
01:58at first they only sent their foot soldiers but even they were almost more than we could handle
02:03we managed to get past their mechs and ben hartman hit us out of his farm you're risking a lot by
02:08hiding us that's for sure the clans tracked us down and started blasting everything at sight
02:14what can we do even with our weapons at practice strength we had to try and stop them
02:21oh we got in a couple of good shots
02:24and kylie pulled off a neat stunt using the banshees engines to overheat one of the clan necks
02:30but we barely got out of there one of us didn't get out at all
02:38warning fusion reactor breached critical failure in 14 seconds
02:46zero
02:48somewhere out there is our dropship
02:52this vessel and its contents are hereby the property of clan jade falcon
02:57without them there's no way we can get off this rock
03:00jump ship katana calling first somerset strikers
03:05do you copy strikers adam hawk anyone
03:09it doesn't look good
03:13we have had no success locating the remaining resistance forces
03:25save them for the garrison unit the falcon's claws have new worlds to conquer
03:30the little inner sphere warrior shows spirit
03:38this one appears to be of noble heritage
03:45he shall have the honor of serving as my bond
03:47you made the right call major
03:53the only call
03:55every leader's got to deal with losses
03:57zero is still my responsibility
04:00so is the crew of the kwaidon
04:02and i don't even know where they are
04:04knowing franklin
04:06he probably took off at the first sign of trouble
04:08clan mechs
04:12all right look alive people incoming
04:15it's okay
04:18just the romulus militia
04:20what's left of them anyway
04:22got hit real bad at the spaceport
04:24any word of my dropship crew
04:26we gotta find them
04:31don't forget your basic priorities major
04:33focus on the mission
04:36my mission is getting some ammo
04:38we got a munitions dump hit nearby
04:40topside but these tunnels will get us close
04:42kylie take your banshee back to the jump ship
04:45and hook up with rachel
04:46you got it
04:47we need to bring her tactical operations center
04:49within communication range
04:51don't forget
04:52this is an intelligence mission
04:54information is ammunition
04:56the more we know about these clans
04:59the better our chances of defeating them
05:01how much longer will they keep us end up like sheep
05:10long enough to strip your ship
05:12i see the garrison has arrived
05:19star colonel crystal redmond
05:32well this is a surprise
05:34i was deeply saddened by the news of your demotion
05:38demotion
05:39i was merely reassigned
05:42of course
05:44star commander natalia
05:46assemble the falcon's claws aboard the dropship
05:48and set course for the tricross system
05:51our next conquest
05:58do you think that is wise quinnig
06:01the galaxy commander has not granted you clearance to depart
06:04the key to a successful career kristen
06:07is knowing when to move on and leave a vanquished world in lesser hands
06:12star colonel
06:13that might i have a moment of your time
06:15i suspect this dropship to be more than an ordinary merchant vessel
06:20i believe i gave an order to disembark this pathetic planet
06:24but should we not first interrogate the ship's crew
06:27some of them have the eyes of warriors
06:30and you can tell the difference old man
06:32merchant cast rabble
06:39transfer these sunets to the re-education camp
06:42that is
06:43if you feel it would be proper without clearance from the galaxy commander
06:48cadet kylie calling jump ship katana
06:52do you copy jump ship
06:53kylie is that you
06:57i've been cut off from the strikers so long i'd even be glad to hear from zero
07:01kylie
07:02lieutenant
07:03zero didn't
07:05i'm
07:06i'm so sorry kylie
07:08it's like a maze down here
07:18these tunnels run all under the area use them to defend against the drags back in the third succession war
07:25back when the romulus militia was more than just a social club
07:31ammunition dumps up this way
07:37this was a major port back when karansky was in charge just storage now
07:49all right heads up guys we got company
07:53we're in no shape to take them on
07:55looks like we're out of luck
07:58you say you know your way around these tunnels
08:00like the back of my hand
08:02good
08:03i got an idea
08:05why do you stare at me like some mute animal
08:12why do you refuse to cooperate
08:14you should be proud to serve as my bondsman
08:17we have
08:18respond free
08:19no
08:20how
08:21your bond cord is a symbol of your servitude
08:24it will remain securely fastened until you have proven worthy of your clan
08:28you will begin by telling me your name affiliation and your unit's strength
08:33very well
08:36if you do not wish to conduct yourself with the honor of a warrior
08:40perhaps you will find satisfaction performing duties more suitable to the labor cast
08:45put our new bondsman on latrine duty
08:48with pleasure star colonel
08:50with pleasure star colonel
08:57poor cattle hauler
08:58this thing sure lacking in leg room
09:00what the
09:15what the
09:27what the
09:30how
09:34how
09:36how
09:37how
09:38how
09:40how
09:41how
09:42I hope this plan works, schoolboy.
09:53If it doesn't, the militia can't spare any more foamy traps.
10:12The militia can't spare any more.
10:22The militia can't spare any more.
10:27The militia can't spare any more.
10:33Tunneling out ought to keep him busy for a while.
10:53Much as I hate to see good mech parts go to waste, we need that ammo a lot worse.
10:58But that's my targeting system.
11:02We'll put it back when we're done with the mission.
11:04Right now, the important thing is to maintain contact with the strikers.
11:08So what happens when they start shooting at us?
11:14Mech Tech McGuire to Major Steiner.
11:16Yo, Major, you reading me? Any way we can search for him?
11:20No. We must focus on a single objective. The Kwaidan.
11:25Mokade Matsuka?
11:27Getting past them would require an army.
11:34What are we supposed to do? Pluck one out of thin air?
11:37Perhaps.
11:39It'll be nice firing something more in computer-simulated rounds.
11:45But what can we hope to accomplish?
11:47Your militia mechs can load up and run supplies into the city.
11:50We'll keep the Klan forces busy while you sabotage their resources.
11:54If we can't run them off, Romulus, we sure can make their stay here unpleasant.
11:59Lieutenant Spector to Major Steiner.
12:02Do you copy, Adam?
12:03Maybe they're still underground.
12:05No one's answering at the dropship, either.
12:10Are you sure this is smart, Major?
12:12Remus Spaceport was the last place anyone saw the Kwaidan.
12:15I don't know, Major. These tunnels only take us so far.
12:18As soon as we're topside, we'll just be easy pickings.
12:22It's bad enough I lost Zero.
12:24I won't lose the dropship crew as well.
12:26This is your army?
12:28This system can draw the Klan away from the spaceport.
12:31We may be able to recover our ship.
12:33That's a mighty big if, Frankie.
12:35I can barely make head or tail out of these old Star League toys.
12:39Kerensky's boys could at least have left a map to help me find the arm switch.
12:52That's Zero's Wolfhound.
12:53I don't see any escape pod wreckage.
12:55I know what you're thinking.
12:57Believe me, Major.
12:58Nobody could have survived that.
13:00Incoming!
13:03I can't see their faces, but I know they're not happy.
13:06They're not happy.
13:07I jumped at the hip three.
13:08I can't shake them.
13:09I can't shake them.
13:11Ooh.
13:12Ooh.
13:15Oh.
13:16Ooh.
13:17I jumped at the hip three.
13:18I can't shake them.
13:20I can't shake them.
13:25Oh, man, what I wouldn't give to have a couple of these in my unit.
13:43That's it, guys.
13:45Focus on me, and you won't even see this coming.
13:55True. Two points to our team.
14:09That's the last of the explosives, Colonel Hartman.
14:19All right, take it up.
14:21Let's show them what the Romulus militia is made of.
14:28You're going to let that Steiner kid have all the fun out there?
14:34Move it, people. Look alive.
14:51Now, I just have to figure out how to work the darn thing.
14:59Now, this looks like a good place to start.
15:02Arling Romulus militia. Do you copy Romulus militia?
15:05Lieutenant Spector?
15:07Franklin? What are you doing at the training field?
15:10Awaiting instructions on Star League technology, Rachel Sonday.
15:13Would you care to assist us?
15:14Val, Hawk, cover me while I swat some flies.
15:32Now, if I remember my history,
15:34the old technology responded to vocal commands.
15:38Usually some patriotic code phrase like the Star League forever.
15:42How about the Inner Sphere United?
15:45One species, one realm.
15:47Kerensky will return.
15:52Battle simulator initiated.
15:59Quickly, before the clan mechs arrive.
16:02Wait! Have you heard her name is...
16:04I think the lieutenant was trying to ask us something.
16:06No time.
16:07We must hurry to the spaceport.
16:09Sugu!
16:12It appears our hologram army has created the necessary destruction.
16:27Stay here with the crew.
16:28I will take care of the guards.
16:29Ah!
16:46Oh!
16:47Oh!
16:47Go!
16:48Come on!
16:53Oh!
16:54Oh!
16:56Oh!
16:57Oh!
16:59Brace yourself guys, those toads are getting ready to hop
17:05Get this, they're headed for the training field
17:14Was it something we said?
17:17Guess we weren't enough of a challenge
17:19Let's move
17:20I'll take a distraction any way I get it
17:24Enjoy it while you can Adam, it won't last long
17:28Rachel?
17:29Is that really you?
17:30Last time I checked, you ready for some info?
17:33I've intercepted a clan transmission
17:35Apparently, the infrared trails on those holomechs were enough to fool them
17:40Oh yeah?
17:44Well, not anymore
17:56I got good news, Adam
17:57Oh, I could use some
17:58I'm reading a power surge on the dropship
18:01Looks like the crew is back on board
18:03Elemental point, cease fire at once
18:13These three are mine
18:17Run for the spaceport guys, I'll buy you some time
18:20Bell, Bell!
18:22Bell!
18:22No!
18:22Are you out of your mind, Major?
18:38We already lost Zero, and I won't lose anyone else
18:42Everybody gotta be a hero today
18:44We'll see you some time
18:46No, I'll see you some time
18:47We'll see you soon
18:47We'll see you soon
18:48Little Neck Warrior
18:50Now to finish the trial we began on thus far
18:56Come on, baby, don't quit on me now
19:01Two down, one to go.
19:19What do you say we give these newcomers an official Romulus welcome?
19:26It's just the one mech. Give them everything you got. Now!
19:31Nice work, people.
19:42Explosives are in place, Colonel. Too bad we can't stay for the fireworks.
19:49Hang on! We can still make it to the spaceport!
19:55Oh, for the love of... They're leaving without us!
19:57Gah! We never should have trusted those Drax!
20:04Oh, alright. Maybe we should have.
20:06First Somerset strikers to Romulus Militia. We are ready to assist.
20:10Thanks for the offer, Major. But we got this covered.
20:12Guess our clan buddies will have to hitch home.
20:14I just hope Hartman was right about having things under control.
20:18I'd say there's still some fight left in the old farm boys.
20:29I want you to witness the fate of lower-caste dogs who dare to defy their betters.
20:33The evacuation is complete, Star-Colonel.
20:35The evacuation is complete, Star-Colonel.
20:37Excellent. Commence suborbital saturation bombardment.
20:41Adam, I just intercepted a message from the clans. You'd better take a look.
20:53This is Star-Colonel Nicolai Malthus of Clan Jade Falcon.
20:59The jarred ruin you see before you was formerly the city of Romulus.
21:03These are the wages of those lesser castes who dare take up arms against the rightful rule of Trueborn Clan warriors.
21:12Any further resistance will meet the same fate.
21:15Open all hailing frequencies.
21:17This is Major Adam Steiner of the first Somerset Strikers.
21:23My unit was responsible for the uprising on Romulus, not its citizenry who are punished in a cowardly display.
21:31If Star-Colonel Nicolai Malthus has a quarrel with me, let him take it up, personally.
21:38I promise you, Major, I shall.
21:45I shall.
21:55I shall.
