00:00Previously on Battletech
00:03This is Commander Steiner. Enemy dropships are approaching.
00:06All staff and cadets execute Defense Clan Alpha.
00:10This is not a drill.
00:12Your insolence has provoked the fury of the clans.
00:15Prepare to be destroyed.
00:16Prepare yourself, pal.
00:18It's gonna take a lot more than that to conquer Somerset.
00:30Your mission to collect intelligence on the clans is temporarily suspended.
00:34What about Somerset? What about my family?
00:37The technology you appropriated from the enemy has been quickly incorporated into new mech prototypes.
00:42Your revised mission is to test this new equipment in actual combat.
00:47Even if it means going to a planet currently being held by clan forces.
00:52Like maybe Somerset?
00:54No longer are you Cyril Ramirez.
00:56Now you will be known as Cyril, mech warrior of Clan Jade Falcon.
01:02I received a message from the planet Apollo from Commander Andrew Steiner.
01:07Why do you think he will respond to such a message?
01:09Major Steiner would risk anything to help his brother.
01:12Major, look out! It's an ambush!
01:14Do you have any final words before we eliminate you?
01:19Go with the flow.
01:25If the clans can turn zero against us, how do we know they aren't doing it to everybody on Somerset?
01:30This is the inner sphere.
01:32Thousands of planets colonized by humankind.
01:35Once it was united under the Star League.
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 ruthless.
01:50They struck like lightning, attacking every sector at once.
01:53But they made one big mistake.
01:55They attacked my home planet.
01:57Now in the spirit of the Star League, ancient enemies have reunited.
02:01And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
02:04And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
02:06According to some of the rover, we're gonna swim right over in Capricorn New Brooklyn.
02:11And we'll be fresh at the innifice.
02:12We're gonna take back our galaxy.
02:13Let's see.
02:14Let's get back our galaxy.
02:15Let's justDP bring input into the light.
02:16Is this cryptic, but you do not be counted?
02:18I have to come before the pur be the accident.
02:19Are you ready to run behind us from this indicialdencia to watch the sky?
02:20THE END
02:50We in the Merchant Class have a say. There is no such thing as enough. Magnify image.
03:01Scrap.
03:04Perhaps, but it will help offset our fuel costs.
03:16Let us examine the goods.
03:20Freeze! This ship is now the property of the first Somerset Strikers.
03:26About time they opened up that thing. It was getting mighty cramped in there.
03:35Don't even think about moving.
03:37What are you doing, Val? I thought you said you had zero-G combat training.
03:44I didn't say I passed.
03:46Yeah! Looks like we hit the jackpot!
03:57What do you want with us? We are not warriors.
04:00Neither are they. This is clearly the work of Inner Sphere Bandits.
04:03May Kerensky have mercy.
04:05Okay, put a lid on it. Now, who's in charge here?
04:10Which one of you can pilot the ship down to Somerset?
04:18Those clanners aren't gonna know what hit them.
04:20After six months, we're finally coming home.
04:26This is merchant ship Prosperity. Requesting permission for approach.
04:29I read you, Prosperity. Now awaiting your access code.
04:33This would not be a good time for heroics.
04:36Bravo, Alpha Tango. 730.
04:39Acknowledge, Prosperity. You are cleared for landing.
04:42Nice work, Pavel. Now what can you tell me about the current status of the planet?
04:45The Resistance has been crushed by our valiant Jade Falcon Warriors.
04:50Spare us the propaganda.
04:51What do you know about the survivors?
04:53Most have been indoctrinated into the way of the clans,
04:55absorbed into either the technician or labor castes.
04:58However, there are some hard cases who refuse to join the clans for your prosperity.
05:03They are enjoying the hospitality of our re-education camp.
05:08And where exactly is this re-education camp?
05:11Somerset Military Academy.
05:13Adam, do you think we'll find your brother there?
05:17If I know Andrew, he'll be in with the hard cases.
05:20Once we're in with the prisoners, Kylie and I will try to locate Andrew.
05:23This isn't exactly how I pictured my big homecoming.
05:26All right, meanwhile, we'll get to a computer terminal
05:28and plant a virus into the orbital scanning system
05:32so the Qui-Don can land undetected.
05:34You sure you can find your way around the system?
05:37Oh, I hope so. I programmed it.
05:41What have they done to this place?
05:44Adam, this was our home.
05:46I know. Just remember, you're a clan technician.
05:50This place means nothing to you.
05:54State your business.
05:57We found these two holed up in the wild.
05:59They actually surrendered to the merchant cast.
06:01They appear to be deeply in need of re-education.
06:04Take them to the barracks.
06:05Thank you. We will take it from here.
06:19Excuse me. We still need to get inside.
06:22And what business have you merchants inside a restricted facility?
06:27We have orders to inventory the remains of its teaching facilities.
06:31Your scavengers already picked this place clean.
06:34You barely left the walls standing.
06:36What about training holovids?
06:38They can be degaussed and recycled.
06:40Battle simulators can be stripped for their circuitry.
06:43Those were the first things your people took.
06:45Exactly.
06:47And now we have to triple check that nothing was overlooked.
06:49Unless you insist on holding us here all day.
06:52God, be past you merchant cast dogs invent to keep yourselves occupied.
06:56Brethren of the Inner Sphere, as you know, your decadent rulers abandoned you long before the clans arrived.
07:09They had been too selfishly preoccupied fighting each other to be concerned with your needs.
07:16Any sign of your brother?
07:18Silence! There is no talking during a re-education session.
07:22But now is the dawn of a bright new day.
07:24The clans have arrived to save the Inner Sphere from turmoil and chaos.
07:29Establishing a wondrous, orderly society where everyone has a vital role.
07:33Warriors, scientists, merchants, technicians, laborers.
07:39I'm looking for your commander.
07:42Andrew Steiner. Is he still alive?
07:45I said silence for us.
07:54It's clear.
08:03I think I found a backup terminal outlet.
08:10Let's just hope it's still active.
08:17We're in.
08:19Do you mind?
08:21Sorry.
08:22Nervous.
08:24Hmm.
08:25What?
08:25Hmm.
08:26Is that good or bad?
08:27It's what I was afraid of.
08:29The clans have installed their own viral protection software.
08:33Can you patch into it?
08:34No.
08:35But I can crash it.
08:36Only problem is, they're gonna notice.
08:38Fine.
08:40Pull the plug.
08:41This ain't the time for subtlety.
08:43That's it.
08:44Their orbital scanners are blind.
08:46Ground crew to Qui-Don.
08:48You are clear to land.
08:49Repeat.
08:50You are clear to land.
08:51Now, just sit tight until we hear from Adam.
09:00Hey!
09:01What's shoving?
09:01Cease this barbaric display at once!
09:26Someone's coming.
09:27Uh, good.
09:31Very, very good.
09:32Yes, yes.
09:33This one still has circuitry attached.
09:34Uh, would you please make a note of that?
09:38Technician!
09:39You will come with me.
09:40Excuse me?
09:41There a problem?
09:42I was not addressing you, merchant.
09:45Our orbital tracking system is malfunctioning.
09:47You must repair it at once.
09:52She would really like to stay and help out,
09:54but we were just about to leave for our next assignment.
09:57Your lower-caste dogs have the nerve to refute the orders of a warrior?
10:03You will report to the commander and learn your place.
10:06Andrew!
10:23Andrew!
10:23Andrew Steiner!
10:26Adam?
10:27Is that you?
10:29Don't tell me they got you too.
10:31It's all over.
10:33The clans have taken Tharkad.
10:35Don't believe everything you hear.
10:38Easy does it, big guy.
10:42Can you still pilot a mech?
10:45Of course.
10:46But what good is that now?
10:48We're taking back the Academy.
10:49And after that, the rest of the planet.
10:52Adam, are you crazy?
10:55Remember how I always said, information is ammunition?
10:59I've got a dropship in low orbit armed with four state-of-the-art battle mechs.
11:03Plus an APC full of weapons for your cadets.
11:06Four mechs and a truck full of blasters?
11:09We'll never pull it off.
11:10Wow, those clanners have really gotten to you.
11:13They made you forget your motto.
11:15No guts, no galaxy.
11:18Okay, kid.
11:19Let's take our home back.
11:24Commander, I found a technician to repair the scanning system.
11:29Excellent.
11:30You!
11:31You?
11:33All the prison camps and all the star systems in the galaxy,
11:36and we gotta walk into her.
11:38I was hoping you Surratt would eventually show up on Somerset.
11:42That is why I requested this assignment.
11:45I see you survived your bath back on Apollo.
11:49You know each other?
11:51They belong to a unit that has been a constant thorn in my side.
11:55Tell me, where is your leader, your Major Adam Steiner?
12:01Never heard of him.
12:02You liar!
12:05Did anyone ever tell you your eye really sparkles when you get angry?
12:09I'm begging the star captain's pardon,
12:15but could this Adam Steiner be one of the prisoners they brought in with them?
12:20Good thinking, Gunther.
12:22Assemble all prisoners in the courtyard.
12:28Attention, prisoners!
12:30Observe the fate of those who would dare sabotage this compound.
12:34They have only succeeded in proving once again that resistance is futile.
12:39Two more saboteurs stand among you.
12:43I ask them now to step forward.
12:46If you refuse, the fate of your comrades will be sealed.
12:57Very well.
12:59Since Adam Steiner will not step forward...
13:01Wait!
13:05That is only one!
13:07Where is your leader?
13:09Adam Steiner, you will reveal yourself in five seconds,
13:13or all three of your cohorts will be eliminated!
13:16What is it?
13:41Nice of you to crash the party, Major.
13:44Andrew, is that really you?
13:47Miss me?
13:50Head for the landing field!
13:56After them!
13:57Do not let them escape!
14:14Did I mention I also have an airfighter in my unit?
14:32A drag ship?
14:34Long story.
14:35Come on!
14:35Come on!
14:35Come on!
14:36Come on!
14:37Come on!
14:37Come on!
14:38Come on!
14:39Come on!
14:40Come on!
14:41Come on!
14:42Come on!
14:43Come on!
14:44Hawke, draw those clan mechs away from the academy!
14:48We don't want to endanger the cadets!
14:50I roger that, Major.
14:51But first, Sadie Claus is going to drop off some presents to all the good little girls employed.
15:02Enemy mech approaching!
15:03Destroy it at once!
15:05All right, kiddies!
15:06It's time to take the playground back from the bullies!
15:07All units!
15:09Initiate it!
15:10All units!
15:11Initiate it!
15:12All units!
15:13Initiate it!
15:14All units!
15:15Initiate it!
15:16All units!
15:17Initiate it!
15:18All units!
15:19Initiate it!
15:20All units!
15:21All units!
15:22All units!
15:23All units!
15:24All units!
15:25All units!

15:40All units!
15:41All units!
15:42All units!
15:43All units!
15:44All units!
15:45Thanks, guys. You just saved me the trouble of doing it myself.
16:04Let's go, Strikers. The night is still young, and our welcome home party is just starting.
16:09It's all yours. Now, just don't bring it back with any dents.
16:12I won't be much good to you out there. I've been out of the saddle for over six months.
16:16You taught me everything I know about mech piloting, Andrew.
16:20There's no one I'd rather have fighting in my side.
16:24I ever tell you how proud I am of you?
16:27No, but I try not to take it personally.
16:42This one is mine.
16:56Come on, baby. Don't freeze up on me now.
17:11Prepare to be destroyed, Strikers.
17:16Sorry, Kristen. We've got other plans.
17:22Enough with this pitiful excuse for a mech warrior.
17:25I want Adam Steiner.
17:31Lady, you just made a big mistake.
17:40This targeting system is remarkable.
17:44How did our research people come up with this thing?
17:47Actually, we stole it from the guys you're shooting at.
17:49Andrew, you've got a Klan mech targeting you.
17:54Aim for his heat sinks just below his left arm.
17:56Uh, listen, Rach, I don't know how you work that with my kid brother, but this Steiner calls his own shots.
18:09It's like I always say.
18:10You say information is ammunition one more time.
18:14I'm going to swing this axe in a very uncomfortable place.
18:20Oh, and by the way, thanks.
18:24Simon says, hands in the air.
18:48Anybody know which one shuts off the searchlights?
19:01Better safe than sorry.
19:06Brethren of the Inner Sphere,
19:09as you know, your decadent rulers abandoned you long before the clans arrived.
19:13Enough of this.
19:30I'm getting dizzy.
19:31Yo, smart guy.
19:44Your shoelace is untied.
19:45I will not rest until you and your strikers are eliminated, Adam's Steiner.
20:02Sorry, lady, but you got the wrong Steiner.
20:10Ease up, Adam.
20:11This is my fight.
20:12If it's all the same to you, I'd like to take this one out.
20:15We go back a ways.
20:17She goes back further with me.
20:19Hold it, guys.
20:20Adam, adjust your targeting vector 12 degrees to the left.
20:23Andrew, adjust your 70 degrees to the right.
20:26You'll fry her heat sinks together.
20:29Good strategy.
20:30I can see why you work with her.
20:35Warning.
20:36Heat sinks at saturation point.
20:39No!
20:40No!
20:45Does this remind you of anything?
20:55Attention, Somerset Academy.
20:59You are now officially liberated from the Jade Falcon Clan.
21:03And this is just the beginning.
21:11Tomorrow, we win back the entire planet.
21:14Enjoy your victory, Adam Steiner.
21:16It will not last.
21:19Malthus?
21:19This time, Adam Steiner, I am not interested in taking bondsmen, planets, or the spoils of war.
21:30I am solely dedicated to destroying you and your lonely little strikers.
21:35You are now a family member.
21:37We're here.
21:39We're here.
21:39We'll see you next time.
21:40Let's see you next time.
21:41Let's go.
21:41We're here.
21:42Let's go.
21:43We're here.
21:44Let's go.
