Father of the Clan.
Three strengths he gave us:
The jaguar's spring that brings the enemy down,
The jaguar's claws that rend the enemy's heart,
The jaguar's taste of the enemy's hot blood.
--The Remembrance, Passage 104, Verse 18, Lines 5-10
My fellow warriors,
Today is a great day. With the data taken from the Outbound Light it is clear the barbaric Inner Sphere needs out guidance. The Wardens fell we should sit idly by and wait for the Inner Sphere to re-form the Star League. We, the Crusaders, know what must be done. The Inner Sphere is weak and cannot survive without our way of life and the guidance of the great Kerensky's. We must take back what was taken from our great father. We must show them the path. The naive Nova Cats feel we are being too brash in our call for an invasion. We must show them that ours is the right cause and that we are the mightiest Clan. We will be the first to reach Terra and we will become the IlClan. Right now our great Khan Leo Showers is in the Hall of Khans, swaying the weak minds of the Wardens, and is showing cause that an invasion is the only option. We must return to the Inner Sphere and take back what was taken from us.
The Nova Cats feel so strongly that they are right that they have issued a challenge meant to slap us in the face. The Nova Cats are bidding for the rights to the Showers genetic legacy. Their bid consists of one Binary of freshly minted Sibko MechWarriors. They are so confident that they can accomplish their goal that they have given up 25% to our force. Your objective is to destroy every warrior the Nova Cats field. Let us send a clear message to them all. Let us teach them all a lesson that we are Clan Smoke Jaguar, we are the mightiest of the Clans, our warriors are the fiercest of foes. We will take back Terra.
Clan Nova Cat has bid nothing but fresh warriors, rated as Gunnery 3 and Piloting 4 with no special skills.

Your bidding seems quite foolish to me, but obviously you want to prove just how much better our warriors are. Leo Showers will be watching the battle unfold. Do not disappoint him.
