00:00Previously on Battletech
00:05This one appears to be of noble heritage.
00:08He shall have the honor of serving as my bondsman.
00:11Greetings, Major Steiner.
00:13The technology you appropriated from the enemy
00:15has been quickly incorporated into new mech prototypes.
00:18Your revised mission is to test this new equipment in actual combat.
00:22AWS-9D, an awesome...
00:25Certainly lives up to its name, eh?
00:27BSW-X1, the bushwhacker.
00:30And last but not least, an infiltrator and a sloth.
00:33I hereby challenge your entire unit.
00:38I hereby accept your challenge.
00:44They are more heavily armed than I had imagined!
00:50There she blows!
00:52She can't get away now.
00:57This is the Inner Sphere.
01:02Thousands of planets colonized by humankind.
01:05Once it was united under the Starlink.
01:07But for the last 300 years, it has been consumed by savage wars.
01:13Until a new enemy appeared.
01:15Mysterious invaders known as...
01:18The Clans.
01:19Powerful and brutious, they struck like lightning, attacking every sector at once.
01:24But they made one big mistake.
01:26They attacked my home planet!
01:28Now in the spirit of the Starlink, ancient enemies have reunited.
01:32And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
01:35Launch control.
01:41Launch Control, this is Star Colonel Nikolai Malthus.
02:06Prepare to initiate some orbital drop on my mark.
02:11Adam Steiner and his strikers will be mine.
02:16Launch Control, report this operation.
02:20We already lost our Captain Redman to this Unclan-like foolishness.
02:24You will take a full start of Omnimex and secure world off by.
02:27If you wish to waste your time destroying this Adam Steiner, you may do so after you have conquered the planet.
02:41As you wish, Galaxy Commander.
02:44Excuse me, Star Colonel, but why eliminate the strikers when you can take them as your bondsmen?
02:49Because unlike you bondsmen, Zero, they have no honor. They do not deserve to become one with the clans.
02:56But, but think of the glory you could earn by converting a member of the Royal House Steiner to the true vision of Kerensky.
03:03But could this Adam Steiner be swayed?
03:08I can show him the way.
03:10Every day you think less like a bondsman and more like a true warrior.
03:14You shall accompany me on this incursion.
03:17Let's go! Move it! Come on! Move it! Move it!
03:22Move it all up! Those clan rats ain't getting these supplies!
03:26Move it all up!
03:42What forces dare defend this outpost from the fury of the Falcon's claws?
03:47Move it all up!
03:54All units initiate advanced imaging.
04:17Do not allow that dropship to escape.
04:26Attention dropship crew. Surrender yourselves immediately and you will be incorporated into the clan merchant cast.
04:45Resist and you will be destroyed.
04:54Why do you treat me so disgracefully?
04:57Everything here is within the limits of the Ares Convention rules on prisoners of war.
05:01Prisoner? Did I not fight honorably enough to be made your bondsman?
05:06Sit down!
05:08Now let's kill one thing straight here, sweetheart.
05:10You're the prisoner. We ask the questions.
05:12And let's start with these tattoos.
05:15Are they the latest fashion for you jade falcon creepers?
05:21Our neurocircuitry allows us to interface directly with our battle necks.
05:25Organically integrated cyber optics. That's incredible!
05:28It's downright barbaric if you ask me.
05:32Yeah, well maybe so, Hawk, but it's one more clue to the clan's technological edge.
05:36Now if you wish, I could wire such circuitry into your neuro-helmets.
05:40What makes you think we would let you go anywhere near our weaponry?
05:44As your bondsman, I am ready and willing to serve you in any capacity you choose.
05:49Wait a second, you savagely attack our world, enslave our people, and now we're supposed to trust you?
05:54You honestly think we're that gullible?
06:00Major, I am receiving a distress signal from the Quartermaster Core Depot.
06:04They are being overrun by clan mechs.
06:07Aha. It must be Nikolai Malthus.
06:10Prepare the ship for suborbital hop. We're going in after him.
06:13Beware, Adam Steiner. The Star Colonel has declared a vendetta on you.
06:19At least we have something in common.
06:24You have five seconds to withdraw from this dropship.
06:28Five, four, three, two, one!
06:34Five, four, three, two, one, one!
06:40So, the Inner Sphere's surets have emerged from hiding, have they?
06:51Let's see how you clan moosters fight up close.
06:58Face it, chump. We're tougher than you remember.
07:00Tougher, perhaps, but not invincible.
07:11Star Colonel, the Strikers are only useful to the clans alive.
07:14Fear not, Bondsman Zero. You will not be deprived of your command.
07:24You better move your men out of here, Sergeant. I don't know how much longer we can hold these clan forces.
07:28You don't have to tell me twice.
07:40What's wrong with this thing? It can't hit the broadside of a dropship.
07:43It looks like you've got a six-degree drift in your beam-focusing lens.
07:47Oh, man, what I wouldn't give me back inside my Axeman.
07:54Success! The Quartermaster Corps have safely evacuated.
07:57Yeah, but the Major could still use some help.
07:59Agree. Cover my flank.
08:06Franklin! Behind you!
08:07I can still move, but my weapon system's fried.
08:19We've got bigger problems, people. Everybody pull back to the Kwai Don. We're making a tactical retreat right off this rock.
08:25Major, did you actually save a treat?
08:28The troops got out. We can forget about the supplies. Our prisoner has information worth more than anything we've left behind.
08:38Yeah, yeah, I know. Information is ammunition.
08:42Speaking of which, you see that structure the clan mechs are passing?
08:47According to my data, it's packed with munitions.
08:52Well, Captain Hawkins, would you care to do the honors?
08:57Major Steiner, sir? I'd be delighted.
09:02Mr. The Cowards are fleeing!
09:14You cannot elude me forever, Adam Steiner!
09:18You cannot elude me forever, Adam Steiner.
09:25This way, Bondsman Cyril, we must survey our Azorla.
09:29Azorla?
09:30What your people refer to as the spoils of war.
09:33That's the Major's Axemen.
09:35Not any longer. I give it to you.
09:38To honor your future as a clan mech warrior.
09:41I have already told you.
09:43The clans are the descendants of General Kerensky's exiled Star League army.
09:48The similarities between clan and Star League technology seem to support her claim.
09:53The ancient Star League army was sworn to protect the inner sphere.
09:56If you're really their descendants, why did you attack us?
09:59Force was deemed necessary to guide barbarians into the way of the clans.
10:03You're calling us barbarians?
10:06Who else would cage a trueborn warrior like an animal?
10:09I would be considered disgraced if I treated Bondsman Ciro in this manner.
10:14Did you say Ciro?
10:17You said it yourself, Major.
10:19Our prisoners are worth more than anything we'll leave her behind.
10:22Are you willing to give up all she can tell us about clan tactics and technology in exchange for Ciro?
10:28I can't abandon one of my men.
10:31I am the Oathmaster.
10:33Say it on!
10:34Ciro, the House of Ramirez.
10:37You come to Clan Jade Falcon from a noble blood heritage.
10:40Say it on!
10:42Your line was honored with the Order of the Star by General Kerensky himself.
10:46Give me your right hand.
10:48This cord marked you as a Bondsman.
10:51But yours is the soaring heart of a warrior.
10:54No longer are you Ciro Ramirez.
10:57Now you will be known as Ciro, mech warrior of Clan Jade Falcon.
11:08Attention Star Colonel Nicolai Malthus.
11:11This is Major Adam Steiner of the First Somerset Strikers.
11:14I have someone important to you.
11:16And you have someone important to me.
11:18Now I offer an exchange.
11:20Star Captain Kristen Redmond for Lieutenant Ciro Ramirez.
11:24I'm not getting any response.
11:27And you never will.
11:29Prisoner exchanges are dishonorable and unclan-like.
11:32He will never take your offer seriously.
11:34Then what will he take seriously?
11:36You must challenge Nicolai Malthus to a trial of possession.
11:41Trial of possession?
11:42You must meet Nicolai Malthus in combat for the right to possess Ciro.
11:47Attention Star Colonel Nicolai Malthus.
11:52Attention Star Colonel Nicolai Malthus.
11:54I challenge you to a trial of possession for Lieutenant Ciro Ramirez.
12:00You have piqued my curiosity, Adam Steiner.
12:05What do you offer if you lose?
12:07Star Captain Kristen Redmond.
12:10You will have to do better than that.
12:12She is past her prime.
12:15Far past her prime.
12:17Allow me to suggest an alternative.
12:19If you lose, you will return Kristen and you will surrender yourself to me.
12:25Watch it, Major. They're setting you up.
12:27Adam, this is too great a risk.
12:29No!
12:30Ciro sacrificed everything for us.
12:33I won't desert him again.
12:35I can't.
12:37I agree to your terms.
12:39Good.
12:40I shall now name the form of the contest.
12:43Single combat in battle mechs.
12:46You may select the location.
12:48There's an abandoned refinery on a moon of Waldorf 7.
12:51We'll fight there.
12:52Well bargained and done.
12:55Major, I sure hope you know what you're doing.
12:58You must prepare for your trial, Major Adam Steiner.
13:01Please, allow me the honor of upgrading your battle mech to the level of the clan mechs.
13:06You just don't give up, do you?
13:09Take her back to her cell.
13:11You do not understand.
13:13This is a matter of honor.
13:15As a defeated warrior, it is my duty to serve my captors.
13:20Why will you not allow me to do so?
13:22Is this some sort of test?
13:24First she tries to destroy us.
13:26Now she wants to help us against her own people.
13:28I mean, what kind of enemy are we up against?
13:30Dropship crew, prepare for liftoff.
13:42Set course for the moon of Waldorf 7.
13:45The site of Adam Steiner's final battle.
13:49Adam, why in the world did you choose that moon for your duel with Malthus?
13:56It's completely filled with unstable gas deposits, one misplaced missile, and you've got a planetary firestorm on your hands.
14:03I realized that.
14:05I'm just hoping that Malthus does it.
14:19Captain Ryder reporting for guard detail.
14:21I'd have relieved you sooner, Hawk, but Kylie's poker game is improving.
14:25Hawk?
14:27Major, this is Val.
14:37Your prom date's gone.
14:39Red alert!
14:41I want her found immediately!
14:57There!
15:11Come on out, lady.
15:13Nice and slow.
15:15I am pleased to report I have fixed Major Adam Steiner's mech.
15:20To do what?
15:21Self-destruct?
15:23You left me no alternative.
15:27You must allow me to prove my worth.
15:31It is my right.
15:32You okay, Patch?
15:34Uh-huh.
15:35I haven't felt like this since I had an autocannon fall on top of me.
15:40I pulled through.
15:42Good.
15:43I want you and Rachel to look over my mech.
15:45Check every circuit, actuator, and my armor bundle for sabotage.
15:49If I have to, I'll take them all, but I'd much rather face Malthus in a mech I'm familiar with.
16:08Autumn, we've run a thorough diagnostic on your mech. It checks out fine, even the targeting array.
16:12Whatever the ice queen was up to, we must have stopped her in time.
16:16Come on, sweetheart.
16:18Bad girls get sent to their room before supper.
16:26Look, we can do this the easy way, or we can-
16:28You unspeakable cerats are not worthy of my loyal service.
16:52Adam, we've got a problem here. Our prisoner made off in an escape pod.
16:56It was like she could have gone any time she wanted to.
16:59I'm sending Kylie and Franklin after her.
17:01No! Put everyone on alert. Malthus is up to something.
17:05I'll try to stall him as long as I can.
17:08That's far enough, Malthus. The trial is over.
17:11The challenge initiated cannot be rescinded.
17:14By our code of honor, this trial will proceed.
17:17First, your little partner tries to sabotage my mech.
17:20Then she runs off when we're about to go into battle.
17:22That doesn't sound so honorable to me.
17:25In fact, it sounds like you've both been reeling me into a neat little trap.
17:29Deception is the tool of inner-sphere barbarians.
17:33Either way, pal, you've got Kristen.
17:35Now release Zero.
17:37You are a pitiful coward, Adam Steiner.
17:40Trial or no trial, I will not dishonor myself by wasting ammunition on you.
17:46However, if you still wish your Zero returned, then let him decide for himself.
17:52Zero Ramirez, you are about to engage in your trial of position.
17:57A successful outcome will guarantee your status as a mech warrior.
18:04Zero, is that you?
18:06Affirmative, Major Adam Steiner.
18:08Now please eject from your mech.
18:10Uh, say again, Zero?
18:12Eject from your mech.
18:14That way I can claim you as a bondman without causing you unnecessary injuries.
18:18You can cut the axe, Zero. Head for the Kawhi Don, I'll cover you.
18:21Initiating enhanced imaging.
18:23Well, what's enhanced imaging?
18:25What's up?
18:26Rachel, are you getting this?
18:28I can tell it's some kind of cyber imaging system.
18:31Well, I sure as heck didn't put it there.
18:33Then it must have been Kristen.
18:35She really was trying to help.
18:39Zero, what are you doing?
18:41You must come to understand the way of the clans.
18:44Listen, Zero, I don't want to hurt you either.
18:46You've obviously been brainwashed.
18:48It is you who does not understand.
18:53The Korinskis have returned.
18:55And with them, the Star League.
18:57We must join them.
18:58They will reunite the Inner Sphere.
19:03These animals only want to enslave the Inner Sphere.
19:06This conversation can serve no further purpose.
19:13Oh, I'll say one thing for Kristen's handiwork. My aim just got a whole lot better.
19:26Adam, according to my readings, that Refinery explosion is triggering a chain reaction throughout this entire moon.
19:44The whole planetoid is going up.
19:47Prepare the Qui-Dont for liftoff.
19:50What about Zero?
19:51Zero, fire your jump jets. You'd be still making a crash.
19:55My honor demands that I stay with the clans.
20:00My honor demands that I siege the safety of my crew.
20:04There was a time when you would have understood that, Zero.
20:13Your cowardly opponent has forfeited the tron.
20:16You have earned your position in Clan Jade Falcon, McWarrior Zero.
20:21I'll move.
20:22Thank you, StarCraft.
20:23I'm so sorry.
20:24Adam, I'm so sorry.
20:40Adam, I'm so sorry.
20:52We've lost him again, Rachel.
20:53And this time, it's even worse.
20:55I know.
20:57If the clans can turn Zero against us,
20:59how do we know they aren't doing it to everybody on Somerset?
21:02How do we know they won't do it to the entire Inner Sphere?
21:10Well, Nikolai,
21:18it appears Adam Steiner and his strikers
21:21have proven equally elusive to us both.
21:25Finding them again will not be difficult.
21:28How can you be so sure?
21:33Because I know their ultimate destination.
21:37A miserable little planet
21:39called Somerset.
21:41Aะธััั
21:43I'd let you know it to be anywhere else.
21:46I've got nothing to do with eg
21:50Nice to meet you.
21:54I hope this game has
21:58been I am 50,000,
22:05away again.
