Mission 2 After Action Report

Warriors of Clan Smoke Jaguar, I believe I speak for all of us when I say that this was a good first blooding. We have proven ourselves superior to the Nova Cats, even with some down to the wire bidding, and earned great honor for ourselves. Our binary kill board has been updated with our latest accomplishments. I do not think I need to recount you all with the tales of your own duels, for they are no doubt engrained in your memories, but there are some highlights that deserve our acknowledgement.

Stuck in the Middle with you

While most of the battle was very even, with both sides savaging one another, the most notable hit would have to be MechWarrior Tom beheading his target with a well aimed blast; easily the most decisive shot of the engagement. This was made more enjoyable as he had spent a good deal of time engaging his opponent as the Mad Dog and Kit Fox were dueling on either side of him.

Leave me alone!

The constant back and forth between MechWarrior Liam and his target Dasher, making repeated laps up and down the hill, proved entertaining for the first few rounds in a strange parody of Tag. MechWarrior Jeromy almost knocking himself unconscious when the Adder managed to slam several shots into him proved amusing.

Even with all of this, we must remain humble. This message was sent to us shortly after our victory and is as follows:

True Born Warriors of Clan Smoke Jaguar,

Congratulations on a well fought victory. Not only did you embarrass the Nova Cats, you did not lose a single unit. Khan Leo Showers even approved of your victory but was disappointed by the way one of your warriors fought. He suggested that the warrior may need to be reminded why Smoke Jaguars are the fiercest warriors the Clans have to offer, and why warriors are the pinnacle of the castes. He sent a reminder message for you all. -- The Remembrance, Passage 121, Verse 43, Lines 12-24 I suggest you review it.

The Khans have finished their deliberation and have chosen the corridors each of the Clans will follow on our path to retake Terra. The Clans that will have that honor are Smoke Jaguar, Ghost Bear, Jade Falcon and the Wolves. We have the honor of taking a direct path through the Draconis Combine. Remember to review your history on these surats.

These freeborns believe that they are warriors. Lets show them what trueborn warriors are capable of. I personally refuse to acknowledge these pilots as MechWarriors, in my eyes they do not deserve to set foot in a ‘Mech except to clean it. Do not allow a single Combine ‘Mech pilot to escape with a ‘Mech that could be used to further aid our cause.

Leo Showers was evidently more impressed with your trial against the Nova Cats than I thought. He believes your fight was the final blow that silenced the Wardens for good. As a reward he has given your unit a great honor. Your binary will be included in the invasion as part of Tau Galaxy. You will be a unique unit, instead of adding your units to form a full trinary, your binary will be added to the already formed galaxy. Also our Khan has given Tau Galaxy the honor of retaking one of the first planets on our path. Richmond will be one of the first worlds we will retake. I will inform you how the bidding against the Bears goes. Hone your skills our path to realize our great fathers vision starts now.
