00:00Previously on Battle...
00:02Attention, scientists, tech, and labor castes of Somerset.
00:06You are now Isola, the rightful property of Clan Jade Falcon.
00:15Volton Rider?
00:16Might be. You owe him something?
00:18There was a very impressive display of mech piloting this afternoon.
00:22I'm raising a unit to go after the force that's been invading the inner sphere.
00:26Our only hope lies with cooperation.
00:27Yes, Major.
00:30Pity I don't have the Royal Steiner name to buy me rank.
00:34I am Star Colonel Kristen Redmond of Clan Jade Falcon.
00:38Prepare to be destroyed.
00:50So this is how you thank us for saving your planet?
00:53This is how I reward traitors for messing with my plans.
00:57See, I found out Tybus was going to keep Fetcom off his back by striking a little deal with the Jade Falcon Clan.
01:03Jade Falcon Clan?
01:04Yeah, that's the name of the invasion force, Major Sander.
01:09Call up your goons, Tybus. We're your only hope.
01:14It's heading straight for you.
01:15Captain Volton Rider reporting for duty, sir.
01:22What do you know about Somerset?
01:23Not much. Although my con star contact tells me your brother's alive.
01:27Andrew? Alive?
01:29This is the inner sphere.
01:32Thousands of planets colonized by humankind.
01:35Once it was united under the Starling.
01:37But for the last 300 years, it has been consumed by savage wars.
01:42Until a new enemy appeared.
01:45Mysterious invaders known as the Clans.
01:48Powerful and rudeness, they struck like lightning, attacking every sector at once.
01:53But they made one big mistake.
01:55They attacked my home planet.
01:58Now in the spirit of the Star League, ancient enemies have reunited.
02:02And we're going to take back our galaxy.
02:05And we're going to take back our galaxy.
02:35Another pitiful display of inner sphere weakness.
02:59For the blood of Kerensky, I was hoping for at least a small contest.
03:05Now listen up, Strikers.
03:26We need to prepare if we're going to get back to Somerset.
03:27Somerset, the Romulus militia has been kind enough to lend us their training field.
03:32Now this might just be an exercise.
03:33But I expect us all to work as a team.
03:35I would rather practice on a real enemy with weapons that worked.
03:39Not these depowered lasers and simulated missiles.
03:42Look out, Hawk.
03:43Zero the hero's talking tough again.
03:46Ooh.
03:46If you want to get blown to bits, hero, you've got to wait your turn like the rest of us.
03:50Oh, leave him alone, guys.
03:51Or he'll stick his mummy and daddy on you.
04:00So much time has passed since I was required to fulfill tasks so menial.
04:05I guess that's why you're so sloppy at it, eh?
04:08Back in the Star League days, this base used to house the 208th Stryker Regiment.
04:15When the Fedcom troops moved on to the Klan front, they left this place to the Romulus militia.
04:20Most of us are too busy tending our farms to use it, though.
04:23Kerensky will return.
04:25Activating holographic simulator.
04:28This is one of the few Star League holo-simulators still operating.
04:31It's amazing how much has been lost since the Star League crumbled.
04:34We've forgotten a lot in two centuries.
04:36When General Kerensky's descendants return, the Star League will rise again.
04:42That old fairy tale?
04:43Give me a break.
04:44Where was the great Kerensky when the clans invaded?
04:52Citizens of Wotav, as the commander of the forces that vanquished your army,
04:57I welcome you into Clan Jade Falcon.
05:00The last embers of resistance have faded.
05:03This planet is secure.
05:05Excellent.
05:06I will now take the honor of conquering our next objective.
05:10A world commanded centuries ago by the founder of my bloodline.
05:14A planet called Romulus.
05:16Hang on to your neuro-helmets.
05:20I'm firing up the training sequence.
05:23Spooky.
05:24According to my sensors, they're the real McCoy.
05:26Now, they may just be holomechs, but your computers will register hits just like in a battle.
05:32And, oh, yeah, it'll feel as real as it looks.
05:36All right, Rachel, feed me some info from up there.
05:39Tactical Operations Officer reporting.
05:41You've got three enemy mechs just beyond the ridge.
05:44What's she talking about?
05:45They're right in front of us.
05:49Watch out.
05:50They're grouping together.
05:51You got any fresh info?
05:54There's some kind of time delay that's...
05:56Adam, I'm routing this signal through too many satellite relays.
05:59I think it's causing a time delay.
06:01Way to go, Major.
06:03Our Tactical Operations Officer's useless.
06:05Then let's work through it, Zero.
06:08Kylie, what can you tell us?
06:10For starters, I'm getting my butt kicked.
06:12Leaving our Tactical Operations Officer in space?
06:14You trying to get us killed?
06:16Forget this, Chaos.
06:17Attack Formation Delta.
06:19Everybody.
06:20Zero, what do you do?
06:25Captain Hawkins, Captain Ryder, resume your positions.
06:28School's out, kid.
06:29I want to survive this skirmish.
06:31Get back here now!
06:39Hey, Zero, watch your ring!
06:43So much for the arrow, Jock.
06:52Thanks a heap, Hero.
06:57That's two down.
06:59Hey!
06:59I can't move my legs.
07:01Your computer thinks its legs are blown off.
07:03Your neck's dead in the water.
07:11So, you're proud of yourselves, strikers?
07:13This simulation was based on the clan's field maneuvers.
07:16Hey, our tactics defeated the Drax and the...
07:19We're fighting a new enemy!
07:21And they are impressed with your quaint little defense formations.
07:28Hyperspace jump complete.
07:29Pythor, Natalya, prepare all Omnimex and elemental units.
07:34The birthplace of the Malthus bloodline will be mine.
07:39Hey, Kylie.
07:40How do you know when your new CO's a Steiner Blueblood?
07:44When he's a royal pain in the...
07:45Now, Major, the shrimp may actually have a point.
07:49You're trying hard to live up to the name of yours.
07:52It may be too hard.
07:54They didn't make me a Major for my name, much as you won't believe in.
07:58Major Steiner, unless you require us to witness more of your battle prowess...
08:04I request leave to take the dropship to Remus spaceport for supplies.
08:08Affirmative, Qui-Don.
08:09How do you know that Drax won't abandon us?
08:11If that was their big plan, why did he call first instead of just leaving?
08:15We can't forget their enemies.
08:18As Kerensky says...
08:19Kerensky's dream was to keep the inner sphere united, Ciro.
08:23Wouldn't he want us to work together?
08:37Yeah.
08:38I think we came at a bad time.
08:40I am Nikolai Malthus of Clan Jade Falcon.
08:52What forces oppose us on this planet?
08:58So, you inner sphere barbarians wish to forgo the formality of a Bajol?
09:04Very well.
09:06All units, initiate enhanced imaging.
09:10Another pair of victor.
09:34Another pair of victor.
09:34Where are your real warriors?
09:40Who among you offers a real challenge?
09:55The space torch is ours.
09:57It's no good. All communications are down.
10:05I say again. I'm picking up encrypted clan transmissions. Do you read me? Adam!
10:12Rachel, Lieutenant Spector, please respond. Mr. Hartman, end the program.
10:17You can't cancel the war just because you lost touch with your mommy.
10:21Something is very wrong here, Captain.
10:25The warship spotted several mechs on a ridge 30 kilometers too east.
10:30Permit me to lead a star of mechs to engage them.
10:33I need young, vital warriors, Plytor. Not your aging cannon fodder.
10:38Star Commander Natalya, your elementals will handle this fiddling matter.
10:42Will?
10:43Ah, Star Quiddler.
10:45Star Commander Plytor, you may search the spaceport for pockets of resistance.
10:50That is, if you are up to the task, old man.
10:56Warriors of the Inner Sphere.
11:02I am Nikolai Malthus of Clan Jade Falcon.
11:05The conqueror of Somerset, Wotong, and Romulus.
11:09So you're the monster who destroyed my home world. My family.
11:13I hereby issue a formal macho.
11:16How did you get on my view screen?
11:18How many warriors do you bid in this battle?
11:21I'm not bidding anything, pal. I'm hitting you with everything I've got.
11:24How amusing.
11:26What are those?
11:31I don't know.
11:32But our fearless leader just committed us to battle totally unarmed.
11:36They think we can't beat these puny things?
11:39Zero, wait!
11:56What now, schoolboy? We can't press reset on this battle.
12:08Later, kids.
12:09Don't be fooled by their size, people.
12:11They're packing some serious heat.
12:13Get off of me, you ugly little!
12:15Little!
12:38Thanks, Kylie.
12:39How are you?
12:45We beat them!
12:50Next time, you will not be so lucky.
12:54I couldn't celebrate just yet, Zero.
12:56Just out of curiosity, is it too late to request a transfer?
13:12Here's my bid, Malthus.
13:14I challenge all your mechs.
13:16Alone.
13:17Ah, kid.
13:18You got nuts?
13:19At last.
13:20A freeborn Whelp with spirit.
13:24I shall destroy him myself.
13:27Now, heads up, people. We're moving out.
13:33Perfect distraction, schoolboy.
13:35I just hope we survive it.
13:44The dishonorable dogs have fled.
13:47The dishonorable dogs have fled.
13:57This ought to do.
13:58As long as they aren't looking too closely.
14:00I've got to say, Major, that was one sneaky maneuver.
14:04Anybody for some chow?
14:06Thanks, I'm starving.
14:07We deeply appreciate this, Mr. Hartman.
14:08You're risking a lot by hiding us.
14:09Major Steiner, do you copy?
14:10Come in, Major Steiner.
14:11You can't even get a message out on the emergency frequency.
14:13The longer we wait, the lesser our chances of escape.
14:14What?
14:15Without the Major?
14:16If necessary.
14:18Attention.
14:24This vessel and its contents are hereby the property of Clan Jade Falcon.

19:24My kingdom for a working auto cannon.
19:32I've got an idea.
19:34Everybody, assemble in parade formation.
19:37Uh, begging the Major's pardon,
19:39but how do you flip your royal lid?
19:41Haven't you noticed?
19:42Each clan neck only engages one of us at a time.
19:45So they're big on etiquette.
19:47What's that got to do with us?
19:49So we're gonna corral him and Kylie's gonna brand him.
19:54Believe it or not, I copy that.
19:56Oh, I got you, schoolboy.
19:58You wanna make him overheat.
20:00Heat sinks at saturation.
20:02Catastrophic failure in 10 seconds.
20:07Nice teamwork, Strikers.
20:09Look out, guys!
20:10Reinforcements!
20:11Come on, people.
20:12We're pulling out.
20:14Major, what about the Hartmans?

20:18Not that way!
20:19Zero!
20:20Get back here!
20:22No!
20:29Warning.
20:30Fusion reactor breached.
20:32Critical failure in 14 seconds.
20:34Zero!
20:34I'm not picking up any emergency signal.
20:43He must not have fired his escape pod.
20:45I'm going back for him.
20:47Hey, let's focus on the others.
20:49We gotta find him.
20:54That way, Major.
20:55We got some empty mines that haven't been used in years.
20:58Learning when to cut your losses is what leadership is all about.
21:03It ain't pleasant.
21:04But war, few things usually are.
21:08You earned your first stripe, Major.
21:11So long, Zero.
21:12Looks like you're a hero after all.
21:14You over here, Major.
21:30Ow.
21:40Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
22:00Ha, ha, ha, ha.
