Field Commander Charles Antonescue re-ports. Southern pass held against Smoke Jaguar force.Coordinated resistance on Huntress has been smashed,but there is no indication of Khan Osis presence.Surviving clan warriors available for interrogation.

Prince Victor Steiner-Davion to all eldcommanders. Huntress is ours.

Lieutenant Michael Tonai, DEST, on de-brief of prisoners. All evidence indicates that KhanLincoln Osis has escaped Huntress for Strana Mechty.However, of possible worse consequence are rumorsthat one Galaxy Commander Corbett is rallying SmokeJaguar forces at a remote staging area. Flagged forimmediate investigation.

Jerrard Cranston reports to Prince Victor.Galaxy Commander Brendon Corbett, the Smoke Jaguarof cer who led forces back to Huntress, bypassedthe capital for the colony world of Tranquil. Fromthis command post, he has sent out a call that allsurviving Smoke Jaguar warriors should rally to hisposition rather than to Khan Osis on Strana Mechty.Reconstructed records prove that Corbett has receivedseveral responses. Our friend Trent believes thatTranquil may possess the command and production re-sources to resurrect Clan Smoke Jaguar.

Prince Victor Steiner-Davion, Com manding.Unacceptable.

Okay, Im heading forward. Dont be late!

Roger that. Good luck, Dominic.

Yeah, sure.

All right, Lieutenant. Dominic Paine has moved aheadto set up his anking attack against the Mech fac-tory. He will move in as soon as you begin your run,meeting you at the second bridge. From there the two

of you can proceed to the island facility.And weve nally made progress on the codes re-

covered from that destroyed communications facilityback on the beach. The data has allowed us to breakpart of the Clan encryption system, tapping into someof their radio chatter. The proper codes have beenentered into your BattleMech computer, so you willreceive a direct feed of Clan intentions from now on.

Heres hoping it helps.

Lets end this.

Lieutenant Sinclair. We intercepted a private chan-nel between Star Colonel Ratache Osis and his aide.Stand by for playback:

smashed, Drey. The entire facility. Without thosegreenhouses, we will be hard pressed to feed the in-coming forces.

You warned him, placing the decoy site so near our agricultural project.

Aff. I did. But will Brendon Corbett take the blamefor this?

Neg, Star Colonel. With Lincoln Osis death on StranaMechty, the Galaxy Commander will be our next Khan.He can do no wrong.

Exactly. I will make these surrats pay. This I prom-ise...

You catch that, Lieutenant? Lincoln Osis, ilKhan of the Clans,

died on Strana Mechty! The Star League must be victorious. Now

what do you think the chances are that we can expect relief in

time to do us any good?

Good news, Lieutenant. Weve made two more contacts.Epona Rhi from Team Three and Keith Andrew, from our

own commando.Epona Rhi is northeast of our position and moving

to rendezvous. She was rst from Commando Three todrop, but with her survival con dence is now high thatwe might nd others and maybe even the Black Hammer itself.

Misery loves company. Isnt that one of Blakes oldsayings?

Thank you, Dominic. Im sure we all appreciate thesentiment.

Keith Andrew actually grounded inside OperationsArea Three, where the Eclipses com mandos were allsupposed to drop. Currently hes limited in movementby heavy Clan patrols. The rescue company is workingtheir way in to break him free.

They really need us to take some of the pressureoff them, Lieutenant. I think Keith is in trouble upthere.

Thanks to our raid on those administrative buildings,we have a good set of diagrams on this undergroundfacility. And it is their Mech production site,Lieutenant. From what Ive been able to sift through,it may be their only one on Tranquil. It is alsolightly defended. The Jaguars counted too much on thefacility staying hidden.

The front entrance has been intentionally collapsed,

a crude but effective shield against an assault, whilethe Jaguars nish some new OmniMechs. Epona Rhi is onstation at the entrance, and she thinks she might beable to blast her way through but no promises. Sincewere running out of time Ive found you another way.You are actually coming in through the back with a bitof applied engineering magic.

Stand by for data feed.
