00:00Previously on Battletech.
00:02We're gathered today to honor a valiant warrior, Lieutenant Ciro Ramirez.
00:13You will note, Galaxy Commander, that my efforts have gained us a valuable new bondsman, named Ciro.
00:20Once we bring him into the way of the clan, he will be a valuable asset.
00:24Your cowardly comrades ran away after taking what they came here to steal.
00:28Oh, apparently your salvation was not part of their little plan.
00:32That's the Major's X-Men.
00:35Not any longer. I give it to you.
00:38No longer are you Ciro Ramirez.
00:40Now, you will be known as Ciro, MechWarrior of Clan Jade Falcon.
00:46I have fixed Major Adam Steiner's mech.
00:48To do what?
00:50Ciro, is that you?
00:52Initiating enhanced imaging.
00:54Wait, what's enhanced imaging?
00:55What the...
01:00This is the Inner Sphere.
01:02Thousands of planets colonized by humankind.
01:04Once it was united under the Star League.
01:07But for the last 300 years, it has been consumed by savage wars.
01:12Until a new enemy appeared.
01:14Mysterious invaders known as...
01:16The Clans.
01:19Powerful and rudeness, they struck like lightning, attacking every sector at once.
01:23But they made one big mistake.
01:25They attacked my home planet.
01:27Now, in the spirit of the Star League, ancient enemies have reunited.
01:31And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
01:34And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
01:35And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
01:39And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
01:39And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
01:39And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
01:41And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
01:43And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
01:44And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
01:51And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
01:52And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
01:52And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
01:55And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
02:00And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
02:07boy they don't call this the dark nebula for nothing i can't imagine what the major expects
02:11us to find out here perhaps he merely wishes to confirm that there is nothing out here to find
02:17kylie i am receiving a strange transmission you think it's a clan ship i cannot say
02:22but whatever they are i doubt that they are friendly
02:29robotic attack drones defending the area from intrude us i didn't think they were the welcoming
02:34committee this way the ionization may disrupt their navigational systems yeah it doesn't fry ours
02:42first oh great an asteroid field it may be our only chance of losing them yeah if we survive
02:51oh yeah this is fun franklin where are you i'm getting my rope roasted here
03:03you got them yes however one of them has me
03:12don't they have laws against tailgating around here
03:16why don to banshee squadron i got you on my scope
03:19and it looks like you were hit by some old mark 39 attack drones
03:23the commonwealth seeded the sector with them back in the second succession war but
03:27it was supposedly swept clean well tell the maid she did a lousy job
03:32maybe we should go and tidy up not worth the risk kylie return here immediately
03:36kylie those attack drones were not the source of the transmission
03:39then where did it come from
03:45this enhanced imaging system's a trip
03:55this is what those planners see when they're shooting at us
04:06it should improve your targeting accuracy by at least 37 percent
04:10it's gonna make a huge difference on somerset
04:13major steiner we must investigate the source of this transmission
04:17this is just a garbled pulse random noises from white dwarf stars
04:22i know about dwarf stars but this is a message and i need your help if i am to decipher
04:27it
04:28i'm sorry franklin but my hands are pretty full right now
04:30i've still got to install this enhanced imaging system into hawk's mauler
04:34major sorry franklin
04:38but i'll tell you what
04:39you run a computer search on the transmission
04:42and if it turns out to be something more than random pulsar noises
04:46i'll consider tracking it down
04:50computer library search
04:51does the transmission we received match up with any current or historical codes
04:57insufficient data
04:58didn't i tell you you were wasting your time
05:00come on just play me one hand
05:02i'll let you win back some of the money you owe me
05:05it is you who owe me money
05:08details details
05:10computer give me a probability match for what the transmission could be
05:14there is a seventy five percent probability that the signals correspond to radio waves
05:19transmitted by seventeen known pulsars within the dark nebula
05:23you lose again
05:25computer give me a forty five percent matchup
05:28there is a forty five percent probability that signals correspond to transponder beacons
05:33pre-world league recognition signals
05:36and naval beacons used by the star league defense force
05:39star league defense force
05:41if it's a lost ship
05:42it's found to be filled with valuable technology
05:45do you have any idea what this means
05:47i'm gonna be rich
05:48what do you say we keep this our little secret
05:53uh-huh
05:54a seventy five percent chance it's a pulsar just like i said
05:58it merits investigation sir
06:00i can't have you attracting attention to our position
06:03and may i remind you we're behind enemy lines
06:06if this is a star league beacon it could lead us to something of great importance
06:11wait
06:12did you say star league
06:13i used to hear stories about hidden bases
06:16they were said to be treasure troves of valuable technology
06:19yeah but you don't want to go out there
06:22i mean it's only a story
06:24maybe so but anything's better than sitting around this rust bucket
06:27no no no no we almost lost both of you out there already
06:30i'm not letting you go out in some wild goose chase all over a nebula
06:43need a hand with that partner
06:45this is not a treasure hunt
06:47of course not
06:48there's a chance to recover forgotten technology
06:52i don't remember asking for your help
06:55his technical skills may be required
06:58fine but his cut comes out of your cut
07:01and just how are you going to squeeze three people into one banshee
07:07perhaps i should inquire if everyone on the ship wishes to join us
07:13the major's going to nuke us for this
07:15not if we're back before he knows we're gone
07:18i am more concerned about encountering more attack drones
07:22don't worry i'm transmitting an old recall code
07:25that should shut him down
07:27this trajectory is proving futile
07:29change course for mark one five five
07:35pitor
07:36i'm picking up a transmission on a fedcom frequency
07:39zero in on it natalia
07:41it may prove worthy of our attention
07:46franklin do you read me
07:47i'm picking up a transmission
07:49i am receiving it too
07:50the station is called camelot command
07:52after three hundred years it's still operating
07:55it is welcoming us in the name of the star league
07:58it is actually providing us landing coordinates
08:08oh
08:09been a long time since the air in here's been reprocessed
08:12the first order of business is finding the command center
08:15this way
08:19who died and made him adam steiner
08:25the base command center
08:32last time we wanted to access a star league device
08:35we had to use a voice command
08:37uh kurinsky will return
08:40the inner sphere united
08:43the star league forever
08:47rosebud
08:50way to go franklin
08:52computer i require a historical summary on camelot command
08:56display from 8 july 2784 to present
08:59the day the exodus of the star league army began
09:03frustrated by the infighting among the nations of the inner sphere
09:07general alexander kurensky ordered the star league army to assemble inside camelot command
09:12as each division arrived it was assigned additional personnel
09:16these divisions became known as clans
09:19and thus was born our enemy
09:33this station will prove invaluable as a hidden base for our invasion force
09:42then let us reacquire it together
09:48how could they leave without us knowing
09:50well the answer may lie somewhere in here
09:56konichiwa major star
09:57we have left for a short excursion in search of your favorite ammunition
10:03information
10:04we have to find them before they get into trouble
10:13that dropship belongs to clan shade falcon
10:18if they are here then we must work quickly if we are to accomplish our goal
10:21the birthplace of the clans will belong to clan wolf munitions warehouse level five
10:28time for a little shopping wait we still don't know what's out there
10:34well wouldn't it be easier to wait here better to follow them now and search for them later
10:46i bet you're all wondering why i called you here today
10:55freeze the strikers here there will be no escape for you this time
11:01old friends
11:20hey guys what's new

11:28you must leave this space immediately natalia plant j falcon i hereby challenge you to a trial of
11:35possession let's seize this opportunity
11:39planners fighting planners now we've seen everything
11:44where to now we can't get to the banshees without going through them
11:47we must return to the command center holding it is our only chance for survival
11:52but patch and i will go through the operating system to find a way to use it to our advantage
11:57meanwhile you both can use your considerable skills to keep the clan forces from getting to us
12:02i'm telling you he thinks he's adam yeah but didn't you like the considerable skills part
12:08this seems to control the main life support system and this
12:15this plan thing was your idea i hope you're happy now
12:24all units initiate enhanced imaging
12:31the wolves lie in wait all around us
12:38relent falcons relinquish this station or be destroyed
12:42never
13:04lieutenant keep them occupied while i seize control of the command center

17:53welcome to clan jade falcon
18:01this station is ours
18:09correction falcon dog camalot command is ours not until the last of us has drawn our final breath so
18:24the activity in this space proves my darkest nightmares have become reality
18:30my dream has dissolved into infighting and warfare between my followers you are not worthy to be my
18:38successors i cannot allow this battle station to fall into such inferior hands initiating self-destruct sequence
18:48we have brought the anger of kerensky down on us
18:56all units we must abandon this station all forces return to the dropship
19:13we have failed to take possession of this sacred citadel
19:20but at least it will not remain in the hands of plant jade falcon
19:26i'm telling you franklin i don't know how you did it
19:30with ancient holographic technology and a little help from our friend
19:37system power depleted hologram simulators shutting down
19:43a trick turn this ship around at once i claim this station in the name of clan wolf i claim
19:49this station
19:50in the name of clan jade falcon here we go again
19:55well i claim the station in the name of the federated commonwealth and if you know what's good for you
20:00you'll leave this nebula immediately and why should we leave sarat because i can destroy both your ships in
20:07an instant he's lying am i zero title we are under attack attack drones our scanners are unable to
20:16locate the ships we must retreat you may have won this time major adam steiner but we will meet again
20:26i know that information is ammunition but it never hurts to throw in a few attack drones for good
20:32measure yeah it's a good thing you broke the code that reactivates those old toys now to reactivate a few
20:38wayward sheep
20:43the next time you pull a stunt like that i'll court-martial the lot of you major what i took
20:49the liberty of downloading their technological files in addition we learned that the clans are not as
20:56unified as we were led to believe they can be divided and that's important information
21:02and as we all know information is ammunition
21:12um thank you mr sakamoto is that all not entirely it's gonna take a few weeks to air out the
21:21clan
21:21stench but it still runs like a dream and do you think bringing back a battered toy would make going
