"We do, in fact, the planetary government was kind enough to send up some satellite imagery of the area."

She tapped on the planet's image, and it shifted into a square image that showed an enormous square for green and brown. she traced a few lines on it and began to explain.

"You'll be dropped off here, near an airstrip on the outskirts of the city that the criminals have been estimated to be moving for." A red x appeared by the airstrip in question. "if they manage to get beyond this line, we forfeit our pay." another line, this time purple. "They've split into two groups and are converging on the city from here, and here." she drew two yellow arrows to indicate. "How you organize once you've been dropped will be up to you. I'll be on comms to keep you up to date if the situation changes.

"Your mechs have been loaded onto the shuttles, I suggest you get moving, Mech pilots. Dismissed."

OOC: Here is the map in question:

"We don't know, but it's a large prison, with a lot of security, housing a lot of dangerous people," she said, "Including imprisoned Mech pilots," she added pointedly.

"My guess is you shouldn't see more than six mechs down there."

"Reports from the surface say that you shouldn't be facing anything larger than Medium class Mchs, mostly armed with weapons effective against infantry. I doubt that's all you'll see in terms of weaponry, so be alert."

"Lieutenant! Uh...Yeah, she should be good to go, I'll go get her warmed up." She turned and more out of embarrassment than urgency, started off toward her own walker, her cheeks burning slightly.

Idiot, how could you be so casual with someone higher ranked like that?! During an alert?!

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?"

It wasn't long before Yuna had reached the Walker bays, her own Warrior standing idle in its own berth.

She grabbed the attention of a tech passing by as she pulled on her jumpsuit. "Hey, what's going on, why's everyone being called back?"

The commander is on deck.

Natalia Faust

Name: Natalia Faust

Age: 35 years old

Species: Human

Gender: Female

Appearance: Tall at 5' 9", Natalia shows her Germanic heritage in her tightly maintained blonde hair and dazzlingly blue eyes. Her face is set almost constantly in a stern and even gaze, and she keeps her dress spartan and always pristine. Most often she keeps to what could only be an old dress uniform from her military days, a deep navy blue long coat and pants trimmed in white with black boots that reach to just under her knees.

Equipment: At her hip rests a laser pistol, and in her ear sits eternally a comm device. She keeps a personal datapad and a pair of reading glasses. Mention them at your own peril.

Skills: A well-versed marksman and physical combatant, Natalia has kept her skills from her military days sharp.

Personality: Natalia is a straight-laced, rational leader, who has few regrets about the life she's chosen. With a love for a good challenge, be it on the battlefield or off, she comes across as more a force of nature than a woman of 35. She knows her crew isn't like her, and as long as they get the job done, that suits her just fine. In fact, though she'd never soberly admit it, she much prefers being surrounded by such a varied bunch. She loves terrible action vids. She will always insist they are in fact, very good.

Bio: As one might expect from the way she carries herself and runs her ship, Natalia came from a military family and served in a quite successful army in the inner colonies, but was discharged following an incident with a superior officer that she adamantly refuses to speak about. But battle could not keep itself from Natalia Faust and so it was sometime later that she formed her own Mercenary group and has proven herself an effective and fierce leader. A string of jobs gone bad, betrayals, or defaults on payment has left her and her company low on funds.

Weaknesses: Has a tendency to fall into a 'get the job done no matter what' mentality at times, and can be insensitive toward the emotions of others. Can be stubborn and unrelenting on matters.

Mech Class: Heavy

Appearance: Roughly humanoid in form, this mech has been converted from a close brawler typical of its class to a withering direct fire platform, with the original arms being replaced from the elbow down with the immense heavy PPCs.
