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 rudeness, 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.
00:57Mayday! Mayday!
01:10This is Captain Bryce Grimmer of the Fedcom jump ship Excelsior.
01:13We are under attack by Clan forces.
01:15Enemy drop ship approaching. Do not allow it to dock. Repeat. Do not allow it to dock.
01:29We have no intention of docking.
01:32To the flight deck! Hurry!
01:51Warning. Extensive damage department. Vertical failure is 10 seconds.
01:57Attention. This jump ship is now the property of Clan Jade Southern.
02:16Excellent work, Natalia.
02:18Now the trap is ready for my nemesis, Adam Steiner.
02:21I assure you, Galaxy Commander, I refuse to take part in Star Colonel Nicolai Malphus' unplanned-like renegade action.
02:31Then set a course to intercept them. Now!
02:35Captain Grimmer, prepare this ship for hyperspace jump.
02:39Set course for the Apollo star system.
02:42Star Colonel Nicolai Malphus, I order you to cease this unauthorized activity.
02:46This mission was not authorized?
02:47I made a vow to destroy Adam Steiner and his strikers.
02:51I will do so with or without your approval.
02:54You and your unit will return to this warship immediately.
02:57Or I will have no choice but to destroy you.
03:00Age has clouded your judgment, old man.
03:03Do what you will.
03:04Very well. Fire!
03:09Not over, Nicolai.
03:11You cannot defy the will of the clan.
03:13Kristen! Fight off!
03:14You will lead a strike force and bring him back to me in any condition.
03:22I received a message from the planet Apollo from Commander Andrew Steiner.
03:27My brother?
03:28What's he doing on Apollo?
03:29He's gathering a resistance movement.
03:31He requested reinforcements from the AFFC, but they don't have the troops to spare.
03:35The strikers are an independent unit. We could go in and assist them.
03:38These are the coordinates.
03:40It's an abandoned astronomical survey station on Apollo's northern continent.
03:43Good luck to you, Major.
03:45Why do you think he will respond to such a message?
03:48Major Steiner would risk anything to help his brother.
03:50This devotion to family and friends, it is not natural.
03:54Personal loyalties cloud once better judgment.
03:57A warrior must always act for the glory of the entire clan.
04:01Is that why you defy Galaxy Commander Cheez-Doo and go off on your own?
04:04Major Steiner's continued existence is an affront to us all.
04:08Since our Galaxy Commander fails to understand the need for his elimination,
04:12I am forced to act on my own authority.
04:14All right, here are the facts, Steve.
04:19The northern continent is sufficiently remote from the planet's population center,
04:22so we're less likely to encounter any clan garrison troops there.
04:26Additionally, Apollo has a thick cloud cover.
04:28A good electrical storm could cover our landing from their standard.
04:31It's almost too good to be true.
04:33That is what concerns me.
04:35Now, I'm not going to paint a rosy picture for you.
04:36We have no hard evidence that Andrew's unit is anywhere near Apollo.
04:40But if there's even a remote possibility he's down there, I have to check it out.
04:45However, I can't ask any of you to risk your lives on a mission that at best is a long shot
04:49and at worst is a trap.
04:50You don't have to ask, Major.
04:52We've come too far to back out on you now.
04:58I got your axe, man, rigged up for orbital drop.
05:01You got room for one more?
05:02I mean, this is a perfect opportunity to test out the new tactical operations center.
05:06We're going into a mountainous terrain.
05:07Now, there's no place to land a drop ship, which means we have to orbital drop.
05:12Do you really want to get food into the atmosphere inside that contraption?
05:15I can do it.
05:17Lots of luck, sweetie.
05:19Where are you going to find someone fool enough to drive that thing with you?
05:25Hmm.
05:26Mad ass.
05:28Now, remember, we'll be unable to communicate until we reach Apollo's atmosphere and our shielding blasts open.
05:34So, if anybody's claustrophobic, now would be the time to speak up.
05:38Don't worry, Peach.
05:39We'll keep an eye on you.
05:44Now, well, I have to confess.
05:46I haven't done a hot drop since basic training.
05:49You think that's bad?
05:50I haven't done one since before you were born.
05:56Major, look out!
05:57Stamble!
05:58They cannot hear us.
05:59Quick, we must lead them away from the others.
06:04How simple it would be to destroy them.
06:07Simple, but dishonorable.
06:10Adam Steiner deserved no better.
06:15Get out of here!
06:16Something tells me that's not thunder.
06:21No!
06:21No!
06:22No!
06:23No!
06:24No!
06:24No!
06:24No!
06:24No!
06:25No!
06:25No!
06:25No!
06:26No!
06:26No!
06:27No!
06:27No!
06:28No!
06:28No!
06:28No!
06:29No!
06:31After them!
06:32They cannot get far!
06:40Adam?
06:41Do you copy?
06:42What's going on?
06:43We've been ambushed!
06:44I'm reading five clam necks all heading straight for you!
06:47Val, cover Rachel and Patch.
06:49Hawk and I will try to hold them off.
06:50Computer, initiate enhance imaging.
06:53Oh, not to make a bad day worse, Adam,
07:22but I'm leaving five more Klanmechs coming your way.
07:25Commander, you're quiet, me, Lord.
07:28Star Colonel Nikolai Nathus, you have tainted your clan's dishonor.
07:32You will cease this renegative hack at once.
07:37She has no authority over us.
07:39Resume, fire!
07:42Do not resist us, Star Colonel.
07:44Our orders come directly from the galaxy, Commander.
07:46If you do not cooperate, we will be forced to...
07:49Get up, Pythorne!
07:50If you will not stand with me, Kristen, then you will fall before me.
08:11Why in the world are they shooting at each other?
08:15You want me to go over and ask?
08:16Adam, he's working at the astronomical survey center.
08:25Any sign of our Banshee squadron?
08:30Sorry, Teech, we've been a little busy.
08:33We have successfully disabled the Klan Aero fighters.
08:36Good.
08:37I need you to scout ahead for the nearest landing spot for the Kauai 9.
08:39Mr. Klan, this combat will only result in further waste of valuable clans before this.
08:55Meanwhile, Adam Steiner and his strikers fly within our grasp.
08:59Let us join forces and destroy them together.
09:02And why should I aid you in this unauthorized campaign, Nikolai?
09:07Once we succeed, my unit and I will return with you of our own volition.
09:10You will then be doubly honored.
09:13Very well.
09:14I agree to your propose.
09:17Well bargained.
09:18And done.
09:21The stripes appear to be scattering.
09:22Then I suggest we split up and hunt them down.
09:36It's working.
09:37The Klan radar is reading our position as miles away from here.
09:40Yeah, but how long before they wise up?
09:42Hopefully long enough for me to jury-rig this ruck bucket back together.
09:46Adam, is there any sign of Andrew's unit?
09:53Negative, Rachel.
09:55No indication they were ever here.
09:58This whole thing.
10:00It was nothing but a setup from the start.
10:02But how would they not use my brother's name?
10:05Zero.
10:06Ah, I spent months trying to teach him that information is ammunition, and he takes that advice now?
10:12Adam, I'm picking up a stray Klan mech.
10:14He's heading straight for you.
10:15Adam, are you all right?
10:35Do you read me?
10:37Adam, come in!
10:37Come in!
10:38Come in!
10:38Come in!
10:39Come in!
10:41Come in!
10:42Come in!
10:43Come in!
10:44Come in!
10:45Adam, what is going on out there?
10:50Sorry about that, mage.
10:52You can't talk when you're playing possum.
10:56Adam, I am running a thermal star on that hunchback.
11:00So if you adjust your targeting vector seven degrees to the left, you should be right on top of the team.
11:09Copy that, mage.
11:10Oh, can I pick him or what?
11:21Oh, yeah, Inspector, I think we found a landing spot for the dropship.
11:28About 20 quid northwest of your position.
11:31I mark that.
11:32Hold position and cover the landing.
11:34Hey, Frankie, where are you going?
11:38I know of a more useful way to protect the Clydon.
11:41Oh, please, don't spoil the prize on my account.
11:49Patch, Rachel, what are you doing here?
11:51Look, I need the spare parts for horse mawler.
11:55I am mech warrior Pythor of Clan Jade Falcon.
11:58You have defeated me honorably.
11:59I am ready to serve as your bondsman.
12:01All right, Pythor.
12:03You can start by helping us gut your mech.
12:07Here, knock yourself out.
12:11It's just an expression.
12:13Now get to work.
12:14Are you sure we can trust him?
12:15Yeah, I won't make the same mistake we made with Chris.
12:18My clan laws, he has to serve us honorably.
12:20I've seen you before.
12:22You worked for Malthus.
12:23Next, Star Colonel Nikolai Malthus is a renegade.
12:26He defied orders and commandeered a Fed Comp jump ship.
12:29The Excelsior.
12:31Ah, Star Captain Kristen Redman and I were then ordered to apprehend him.
12:36And that's why you were shooting at each other.
12:38Correct.
12:39But the Star Captain and Malthus agreed to a truce,
12:42combining their forces to capture you.
12:44Rachel, I've got an idea.
12:46Can you rig it up so that my Axman reads as Pythor's hunchback on the clan radar?
12:50I think so.
12:51Why?
12:52Well, if we can stir up enough trouble out there,
12:54we may be able to get them to start shooting at each other again.
12:57And that'd buy us some time to get back to the Kwaidan.
12:59My scanners indicate those strikers trash should be right here.
13:25According to my radar, those came from one of our battle mechs.
13:35It is Pythor's hunchback.
13:37Pythor?
13:38We agreed to a truce.
13:39And now you fire on your own, allies.
13:44Swallow the bait.
13:45Stop flying in his seat.
13:46Your next target is right behind you.
13:48Coordinating 459127.
13:50Pythor, why do you fire on us?
14:00Must I now defeat you in combat?
14:06Reeling in fish number two.
14:09Now to watch the feeding frenzy.
14:11We agreed to a spruce, Nikolai.
14:21Why did you resume hostility?
14:23It was your unit fired on us.
14:27I did no such thing.
14:29Pythor fired upon us.
14:32Interesting.
14:34Pythor now heads toward the survey station.
14:36Pythor, I suggest we pursue him together.
14:47Pythor, how's your mawler's arm?
14:49They won't be playing the violin.
14:51But I'm sure it'll still pound clanners into the ground.
14:56That's good to hear, because I think they're on to us.
14:58Pythor, we need to come back to Huttor.
15:09No time.
15:12He'll be all right once his buddies dig him out.
15:21I should have shown Adam Steiger will be behind this deception.
15:24Bell, Hawk, fire everything you've got into the hillside.
15:29Everything?
15:30You're sure that's the smartest strategy, Major?
15:32No, but it's the back.
15:46Let's move out.
15:47We get a long march to the dropship.
15:50The strikers are getting away.
15:52Need I remind you, Zero, that our opponents have depleted their ammunition.
15:55Natalia and her elementals will finish them off.
15:58What do you know, guys?
16:00I've arrived.
16:01Relax, people.
16:02Incoming!
16:06What now, Major?
16:07We just emptied all our ammo into the hillside back there.
16:14The captain might provide some assistance.
16:16That is, if you feel that you require it.
16:19Franklin piloting a mech?
16:21Hey, not only that, he's a pretty good shot.
16:28You care to tell us why you kept this town a secret, Mr. Sakamoto?
16:31Up until now, there has been no battle neck for me to pilot.
16:35I should know better than to expect a straight answer from you.
16:37Run for the Qui-Don, and we'll hold them as long as I can.
16:47No!
16:48I led you into this trap, and now I'm going to get you out.
16:51Malthus, Kristen, Zero, I challenge you all to a trial.
17:02It's me you want, not my unit.
17:04Let them go, and we can fight it out alone.
17:06Three against one would not be an honorable conquest.
17:09Oh, come on.
17:10You all want me.
17:11Now who's got the guts to come for the prize?
17:13This is obviously another trick to get us fighting amongst ourselves again.
17:17Then let us oblige you.
17:18Very well, Major Adam Steinert.
17:20The three of us shall destroy you.
17:23Together.
17:25What do you think he's doing?
17:28What's it look like?
17:29He's buying us a ticket out of here.
17:31Well, we can't just abandon him.
17:35The Major knows what he's doing.
17:36Let's make sure his sacrifice counts for someone.
17:56Do you have any final words before we eliminate you?
17:59Just some friendly advice, pal.
18:01Go with the flow.
18:06No!
18:19You know, one thing concerns me, Adam.
18:22The Clans used to be such straightforward warriors.
18:25And now they're using trickery.
18:26Well, maybe so.
18:27But despite all that, we now know the Clans are not unbeatable.
18:30The Strikers have finally pulled together as a team.
18:32I think we're ready to take back Somerset.
18:35Are you satisfied, Nikolai?
18:40This is not over.
18:42Not as long as Adam Steinert still heads toward his home world.
18:46I will end this conquest where it began.
18:49On Sunday.
18:50I will end this marriage.
