March 11, Dropship Dotted Line, in orbit near Port Sydney, 20:14 local time
Miss Black’s fatigue is noticeable as she starts the briefing. Dmitri Mordvinov and the rest of the team that went planetside for the mission are not present.
“While I was able to salvage our mission with the resistance, it came at great cost. Jonas De LaPlage and the rest of Periphery’s Finest’s vehicle command lance were able to extract Dr. Romero from the Ioto Galactic Enterprises facility, but we had to turn over the stranded vehicle crews and battle armor squad to the Lyran First,” she explains.
A clamour arises in the room as you all voice your objections.
“I know, I know I know!” she shouts over all of you.
“I know nobody likes leaving comrades behind, but we had to throw the Lyrans off our scent! We’re lucky that we didn’t get shot down trying to do the orbital drop in the first place!”
The clamour dies down to mild grumbling.
“We will rescue them,” Miss Black states resolutely. “The XO and I are working with Doge to find out where they’re being taken and we’ll know soon. I want everyone to stay ready, because we’ll need to act fast.”
“Speaking of acting fast,” Miss Black says, “the XO says that Dr. Romero may have intel on our mystery guest and could use some help confirming his sources. I’m a little incredulous myself, but it shouldn’t be long before we hear more from Dr. Romero directly. I’ll call a briefing once we have a link established. Dismissed.”
Extract Dr. Juan Romero from the building at Nav Point Alpha and get him off your home edge: Failure; While Dr. Romero was recovered, the extra expense of an unplanned orbital drop has greatly diminished the profit for this mission - 35WP each
Destroy the First Lyran Regulars forces protecting the facility: Success, 1 unit destroyed, +20WP
45WP per player
There will be no post-mission turn for this mission; Events are transpiring in rapid succession such that the next mission will take place hours after this one.
The following units are currently MIA:
Devil’s Playthings Epona + Crew
Devil’s Playthings Battle Armor + Troopers
Calumet’s Quickhatches Condor + Crew
The rest of the units deployed for this mission are still planetside. While they are safe (for now), they are stranded.
