In the darkness of space floated an egg-shaped craft; engines burning a gentle blue in the inky black of space. While silent outside, inside the ship, things were bustling, The crew scrambled about, attending to various duties as they made ready to make planetfall.
Enormous harnesses were removed from mechs, having been previously secured for warp jump. Techs flitted about the immense machines, making last-minute repairs and checks. Through the chaos strode a human woman, tall, blonde, and most assuredly in charge. Just beyond the Mech bay was a briefing room, where her pilots were gathered around a holotable, chatting and potentially bickering with each other. They quieted as she stepped into the room, and pressed two buttons on the table, one dimming the lights slightly, the other, projecting an image of the planet they were headed for. Information regarding the planet popped up beside the projection.
Planet Name: Imhotep 3
Location: Imhotep System
Description: A large Earth-like planet with an oxygen-rich atmosphere. Swamps and bogs cover the entire surface. A large penal colony has been established on this world.
"Alright, people, listen up. The situation here is going to be messy, prisoners from the penal facility have broken themselves out and managed to get themselves some of the Mechs stationed there. These are dangerous criminals, and they've not only stolen the mechs but destroyed the other mechs guarding the facility. They've since decided to take out their new toys and use them on the civilian population. They're moving pretty slowly thanks to the swamps, so you'll be intercepting and taking down those Mechs before they reach the cities. You'll be shuttling down since the Argonaut won't be able to land."
She looked around the room, "Any questions?"
