FunTranscript
00:00This is the Inner Sphere. Thousands of planets colonized by humankind. Once it was united under the Star League.
00:07But for the last 300 years, it has been consumed by savage wars.
00:12Until a new enemy appeared. Mysterious invaders known as the Clans.
00:19Powerful and rudeless, they struck like lightning, attacking every sector at once.
00:23But they made one big mistake. They attacked my home planet!
00:27Now in the spirit of the Star League, ancient enemies have reunited.
00:32And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
00:57Why, they don't call this the Dark Nebula for nothing.
01:10I can't imagine what the Major expects us to find out here.
01:13Perhaps he merely wishes to confirm that there is nothing out here to find.
01:17Kylie, I am receiving a strange transmission.
01:20You think it's a Klan ship?
01:21I cannot say. But whatever they are, I doubt that they are friendly.
01:30Robotic attack drones! Defending the area from intruders!
01:33I didn't think they were the welcoming committee.
01:37This way, the ionization may disrupt their navigational systems.
01:41Yeah, it doesn't fry ours first.
01:43Oh, great. An asteroid field.
01:48It may be our only chance of losing them.
01:50Yeah, if we survive.
01:52Oh, yeah. This is fun.
01:58Franklin, where are you? I'm getting my rope roasted here!
02:04You got him!
02:05Yes.
02:06However, one of them has me.
02:08Not for long!
02:12Don't they have laws against tailgating around here?
02:16Why don't a banshee squadron?
02:18I got you on my scope.
02:20And it looks like you were hit by some old Mark 39 attack drones.
02:24The Commonwealth seeded the sector with them back in the Second Succession War,
02:27but it was supposedly swept clean.
02:30Well, tell the maid she did a lousy job.
02:32Maybe we should go and tidy up.
02:33Not worth the risk, Kylie. Return here immediately.
02:36Kylie, those attack drones were not the source of the transmission.
02:39Then where did it come from?
02:46This enhanced imaging system's a trip.
02:55So this is what those planners see when they're shooting at us.
02:57It should improve your targeting accuracy by at least 37%.
03:10It's going to make a huge difference on Somerset.
03:13Major Stein, we must investigate the source of this transmission.
03:17This is just a garbled pulse.
03:20Random noises from white dwarf stars.
03:22I know about dwarf stars, but this is a message.
03:26And I need your help if I am to decipher it.
03:28I'm sorry, Franklin, but my hands are pretty full right now.
03:31I've still got to install this enhanced imaging system into Hawks Maller.
03:35Major?
03:35Sorry, Franklin.
03:38But I'll tell you what.
03:40You run a computer search on the transmission.
03:42And if it turns out to be something more than random pulsar noises, I'll consider tracking it down.
03:50Computer, library search.
03:52Does the transmission we received match up with any current or historical codes?
03:57Insufficient data.
03:58Didn't I tell you you were wasting your time?
04:00Come on, just play me one hand.
04:03I'll let you in back some of the money you owe me.
04:06It is you who owe me money.
04:08Details, details.
04:10Computer, give me a probability match for what the transmission could be.
04:14There is a 75% probability that the signals correspond to radio waves transmitted by 17 known pulsars within the dark nebula.
04:23You lose again.
04:25Computer, give me a 45% matchup.
04:28There is a 45% probability that signals correspond to transponder beacons, pre-World League recognition signals, and naval beacons used by the Star League Defense Force.
04:40Star League Defense Force?
04:42If it's a lost ship, it's found to be filled with valuable technology.
04:45Do you have any idea what this means?
04:47I'm going to be rich.
04:49What do you say we keep this our little secret?
04:51A 75% chance it's a pulsar, just like I said.
04:59It merits investigation, sir.
05:01I can't have you attracting attention to our position, and may I remind you we're behind enemy lines.
05:06If this is a Star League beacon, it could lead us to something of great importance.
05:11Wait, did you say Star League?
05:14I used to hear stories about hidden bases.
05:17They were said to be treasure troves of valuable technology.
05:20Yeah, but you don't want to go out there.
05:22I mean, it's only a story.
05:24Maybe so, but anything's better than sitting around this rust bucket.
05:28No, no, no, no.
05:28We almost lost both of you out there already.
05:30I'm not letting you go out on some wild goose chase all over a nebula.
05:43Need a hand with that, partner?
05:45This is not a treasure hunt.
05:47Of course not.
05:48It's a chance to recover forgotten technology.
05:52I don't remember asking for your help.
05:55His technical skills may be required.
05:58Fine, but his cut comes out of your cut.
06:01And just how are you going to squeeze three people into one banshee?
06:07Perhaps I should inquire if everyone on the ship wishes to join us.
06:13The Major's going to nuke us for this.
06:16Not if we're back before he knows we're gone.
06:19I am more concerned about encountering more attack drones.
06:22Don't worry, I'm transmitting an old recall code.
06:25That should shut him down.
06:27This trajectory is proving futile.
06:30Change course for Mach 155.
06:35Pytor, I'm picking up a transmission on a Fedcom frequency.
06:40Zero in on it, Natalia.
06:41It may prove worthy of our attention.
06:46Franklin, do you read me?
06:48I'm picking up a transmission.
06:49I am receiving a tool.
06:51The station is called Camelot Command.
06:53After 300 years, it's still operating.
06:55It is welcoming us in the name of the Star League.
06:58It is actually providing us landing coordinates.
07:08Oh, been a long time since the errand here's been reprocessed.
07:12The first order of business is finding the command center.
07:16This way.
07:19Who died and made him Adam Steiner?
07:21The base command center.
07:32Last time we wanted to access a Star League device, we had to use a voice command.
07:38Uh, Kerensky will return.
07:40The Inner Sphere United?
07:42The Star League forever.
07:45The Star League forever.
07:48Rosebud.
07:50Way to go, Franklin.
07:53Computer, I require a historical summary on Camelot Command.
07:57Display from 8 July 2784 to present.
08:00The day the exodus of the Star League army began.
08:03Frustrated by the infighting among the nations of the Inner Sphere,
08:07General Alexander Kerensky ordered the Star League army to assemble inside Camelot Command.
08:13As each division arrived, it was assigned additional personnel.
08:17These divisions became known as clans.
08:20And thus was born our enemy.
08:22This station will prove invaluable as a hidden base for our invasion force.
08:43Then let us reacquire it together.
08:49How could they leave without us knowing?
08:51Well, the answer may lie somewhere in here.
08:56Konnichiwa, Major Stanley.
08:58We have left for a short excursion in search of your favorite ammunition.
09:03Information.
09:04We have to find them before they get into trouble.
09:13That dropship belongs to Clan Jade Falcon.
09:16If they are here, then we must work quickly if we are to accomplish our goal.
09:22The birthplace of the clans will belong to Clan Wolf.
09:26Munitions Warehouse, level 5.
09:28Time for a little shopping.
09:31Wait!
09:32We still don't know what's out there.
09:34Well, wouldn't it be easier to wait here?
09:36Better to follow them now than search for them later.
09:40I bet you're all wondering why I called you here today.
09:55Freeze, Surrattes!
09:56The strikers?
09:58Here?
09:59There will be no escape for you this time,
10:02old friends.
10:02Hey, guys.
10:22What's new?
10:24Warriors of Clan Wolf,
10:26you are operating out of your invasion corridor.
10:29You must leave the space immediately.
10:31Natalia of Clan Jade Falcon.
10:33I hereby challenge you to a trial of possession.
10:36Let's seize this opportunity.
10:39Claners fighting planers?
10:41Now we've seen everything.
10:44Where to now?
10:45We can't get to the Banshees without going through them.
10:48We must return to the command center.
10:50Holding it is our only chance for survival.
10:52Look, Patch and I will go through the operating system
10:55to find a way to use it to our advantage.
10:57Meanwhile, you both can use your considerable skills
11:00to keep the Clan forces from getting to this.
11:02I'm telling you, he thinks he's Adam.
11:05Yeah, but didn't you like the considerable skills part?
11:09This seems to control the main life support system.
11:12And this...
11:13This Clan thing was your idea?
11:18I hope you're happy now.
11:24All units, initiate enhanced imaging.
11:32The wolves lie in wait all around us.
11:38Relent, Falcons.
11:40Relinquish this station or be destroyed.
11:42Never.
11:43Lieutenant, keep them occupied
12:06while I seize control of the command center.
12:08What I tell you, Kylie,
12:15not only are these munitions going to save our necks,
12:17they're also going to make me...
12:19rich?
12:20It can't be empty.
12:22It can't.
12:25Get over it, Val.
12:27What do you say we get back to Franklin and Patch?
12:30I say nothing.
12:32You are now the rightful property of the Clan G, Falcon.
12:35Zero.
12:36Zero, how are ya?
12:37You never write, you never call.
12:40Silence!
12:41Lights out on this guy.
12:50You should have stayed hidden, Surat.
12:55Oh!
12:56Over here, you clown.
12:58Kylie, you're a woman after my own heart.
13:16Now that Laughing Boy's out of the picture,
13:18we can deal with Zero.
13:19Zero?
13:20Can't we talk about this?
13:22The time for talk is over.
13:24Open up in the name of Clan Wolf!
13:26Any ideas?
13:30If they wanted attention, let's give them attention.
13:34There they are, at the base command center.
13:42I'm a genius.
13:44Open up in the name of Clan Jade Falcon.
13:47What do we do now?
13:48You're the genius.
13:49You're the genius.
13:51Yoo-hoo!
13:52I'm right here!
13:55Why do you resist?
13:57I offer you a chance to serve a noble cause.
14:00I offer you a chance to serve a noble cause.
14:00I'll finish you off man-to-man, Surat.
14:14I'll finish you off man-to-man, Surat.
14:16Wouldn't that be Surat to Surat?
14:30Wouldn't that be Surat to Surat?
14:30No, this was between the two of us.
14:41Zero, wait!
14:46Come back with us.
14:47It's not too late.
14:49I will never return with you!
14:52Franklin Sakamoto to drop ship Kwaidan.
14:54Do you copy?
14:55Come in, Kwaidan.
14:56Don't waste your breath.
14:57You'll never get a message through that ionized soup.
15:01I never thought I would say this.
15:03But I could sure use Major Steiner right about now.
15:08Any luck cracking the code to that message?
15:11Konnichiwa, Major Steiner.
15:13The fact that you are receiving this message
15:15indicates that I could not return to the Kwaidan unassisted.
15:18Please try searching for us following Vector 2588.
15:22Captain Fristat, separate the drop ship immediately.
15:29I give that door two minutes before this room is flooded with jade falcon goons.
15:34I do not care what happens to me.
15:37I will not let them have this station.
15:40My dad always told me, just when things are at their worst,
15:43the answer is always right in front of you.
15:46Your father was a very wise man.
15:49And so was General Kowanski.
15:50Major, sure going to be glad to see this hunkajuck again.
16:00Assuming we may get that far.
16:01Assuming we may get that far.
16:20Miss Wendy.
16:22What?
16:23What?
16:24Swing last.
16:25Swing right!
16:26Hey, you wanna let me drive, please?
16:33Miss Wendy.
16:34Miss Wendy.
16:35Defeated warriors.
16:36You are now the property of Clan Kiley.
16:40Clan Kiley?
16:41What? You never wanted a family?
16:53Welcome to Clan Jade Falcon.
17:01This station is ours.
17:03Correction, Falcon dog, Camelot command is ours.
17:13Not until the last of us has drawn our final breath.
17:16So be it.
17:25The activity in this space proves my darkest nightmares have become reality.
17:30My dream has dissolved into infighting and warfare between my followers.
17:36You are not worthy to be my successors.
17:39I cannot allow this battle station to fall into such inferior hands.
17:45Initiating self-destruct sequence.
17:48We have brought the anger of Kerensky down on us.
17:56All units, we must abandon this station.
17:59All forces, return to the dropship.
18:14We have failed to take possession of this sacred citadel.
18:17But at least it will not remain in the hands of Clan Jade Falcon.
18:26I'm telling you, Franklin, I don't know how you did it.
18:30With ancient holographic technology and a little help from our friend.
18:35System power depleted.
18:39Hologram simulators shutting down.
18:43A trick!
18:44Turn this ship around at once!
18:46I claim this station in the name of Clan Wolf!
18:49I claim this station in the name of Clan Jade Falcon!
18:52Here we go again.
18:53Well, I claim this station in the name of the Federated Commonwealth!
18:58And if you know what's good for you, you'll leave this nebula immediately!
19:02And why should we leave, Surat?
19:04Because I can destroy both your ships in an instant!
19:08He's lying!
19:09Am I Zero?
19:10I know that information is ammunition, but it never hurts to throw in a few attack drones for good measure.
19:33Yeah, it's a good thing you broke the code that reactivates those old toys.
19:37Now to reactivate a few wayward sheep.
19:43The next time you pull a stunt like that, I'll court-martial the lot of you!
19:47Major...
19:48What?!
19:49I took the liberty of downloading their technological files.
19:53In addition, we learned that the clans are not as unified as we were led to believe.
19:58They can be divided.
20:00And that's important information.
20:02And as we all know, information is ammunition.
20:12Um, thank you, Mr. Sakamoto.
20:15Is that all?
20:16Not entirely.
20:19It's gonna take a few weeks to air out the clan stench, but it still runs like a dream.
20:23And do you think bringing back a battered toy would make going AWOL acceptable?
20:29Dismissed.
20:32Okay, maybe it's a little acceptable.
20:40Okay, maybe it's a little acceptable.
20:40Go and negatively.
20:42I'll see you next time.
20:50Come on.
20:50But
21:03you'll hear what's going on.
