Game 148: Skunk Works - Mission Debrief
Date/Location:
July 22, 3065 / Muphrid, Lyran Alliance (Class B)
New Calenaton Spaceport, 21:06
With Juan Jungalo’s Striker threatening to be outpaced by UrbanMechs, bicyclists, and joggers due to motive damage, the journey back to base is painfully slow. You aren’t even halfway there when Periphery’s Finest’s command lance, transport lance, and Engineering Vehicle pass you going the other way. XO Thames radios you from the cockpit of his Locust.
“Better hurry it up, mechwarriors,” he says. “If I make it back to base before you do, I’m going to have you sweeping the tarmac at the spaceport.”
Knowing the XO doesn’t make empty threats, you quickly try to jury rig an assisted tow of the Striker using Dana Tuff’s Heavy BattleMech Recovery Vehicle. It helps a little, but you still can’t go faster than 30kph. You keep an eye on your radar and your rear cameras, but you don’t see anything…until…
You’re no more than 10 minutes away from your assigned area of the spaceport when the Karnov VTOLs of Periphery’s Finest’s transport lance zoom by you at their full 150kph. You don’t think anything of it, since the XO’s Locust isn’t anywhere to be seen, but when you arrive back at base you see the XO stepping out of the infantry bay of one of the Karnovs…
Once you’ve all dismounted, the XO has you line up with your brooms and start sweeping in a line abreast. Any time someone gets too far ahead of or behind Dana Tuff, the XO orders the whole line to go back to the point you started from. He keeps doing this until you’ve successfully covered a distance of 100 meters without breaking formation. An hour or so later Periphery’s Finest’s command lance returns to base with Hershey Pinchas driving the XO’s Locust. Once he’s dismounted the XO has all of you sweep the tarmac again, only this time you restart every time Hershey Pinchas falls out of line. Once you’ve covered the 100 meters again, the XO marches you all to the briefing room where Miss Black is waiting for you.
“I hope you all found the XO’s team building exercise helpful,” she says once you’re seated. “While mercenary work is lucrative, our budget for internal operations like this is not unlimited. While you were mostly successful in your objectives, having to mobilize Periphery’s Finest to recover Hershey Pinchas and his Crab has put us over budget this month, and I’m taking the difference out of your paychecks. Remember this the next time you are assigned to an internal operation.”
Miss Black turns to address Hershey Pinchas and Trinity Vesper directly.
“Pinchas, Vesper, once you’ve been cleared by the medics I want to see each of you with twenty hours logged in tumbling drills before your next assignment. I don’t blame you for what happened, but I also don’t want to see a repeat of this ever again if it can be helped. We’re very fortunate we only had one KIA on this mission.”
She pauses for a moment. Her face is briefly awash with guilt before she resumes her usual facade and turns back to address all of you.
“The funeral service will be tomorrow at 10:00 and I expect to see you all there. Dismissed.”
