However I do have an intel summary to post, an astrological weather report, and maybe a few hints at what they'll face under the Killing Moon.

With that the team had pulled it off, however it wasn't without damages.
Scaramouche had an arm blown off costing him the valuable ERPPC that took the Quickdraw out.
Psyche had her gyro smashed up, only able to walk off the field because a jumpjet took the brunt of the damage.

Blur seeing this chose to place his Phoenix Hawk between the Orion and freedom, the two metal giants stared each other down for a moment as Blur attempted to demand the pilots surrender.
The Orion answered with weapons fire, choosing violence.
This ended shortly after as careful fire took out his RT

The Nightraven landed behind the undying mech and gave it peace finally. A swift punch to the head and the retractable blade in its arm took the head clean off ending the threat.
Now only the Orion was left and he was running, almost in position to escape the net that was cast for it

The pilot tried to keep his mech up but toppled over, out of the fight.
The same couldn't be said for the Black Knight, with half its body shot off it still kept coming at Ghost wanting to brutalize its ranged tormentor.
The Nightraven wouldn't have any of this and dove on it, blade at the ready.

The fighting at this point was brutal, mech parts had been shot off, pilots were injured, but each side continued to close the gap approaching melee range.
During this time the Rifleman took a brutal shot from the SWG gauss rifles smashing into its torso and obliterating the gyros.

The other half of the team, one of the heavily modified Phoenix Hawks (known to the SWG as a Nightraven), took off running to cover the left flank while it's partner pushed the right.
They aimed to act as the hammer and smash these pirates on the anvil of our heroes.

It was at this point the first signs of the Nightravens showed up on the edge of the engagement.
A strange Marauder with two dorsal guns lumbered on the to field and announced itself with two gauss shots.
One tearing into the back of the Orion, staggering the mech.

Our newest member Scaramouche showed his worth early and a blast of his ER PPCs took the Quickdraw's head off before it could even get another round of fire off.
The distance between the two parties continued to close with the hostile forces giving as good as they got from the team.

The Quickdraw doesn't like this plan and closest the distance between them chewing away at the poor Phoenix Hawk.
Of course as this is happening the Orion is shelling the rest of the lance with its LRMs, and our Black knight is engaging in a time honored tradition with Ghost, PPC exchanges at range.

A Rifleman and an Orion are facing them down with no signs of the Nightravens short of 4 very angry battlemechs looking at them.
The engagement quickly closes as the 4 mechs push ahead wanting to escape the trap laid for them.
Blur decides a long flank along the sides of the area is in order.

The team hits the ground running, the battlefield is a nasty canyon with hills all around, and our team realizes just how dangerous the center pathway is.
A PPC blast is quickly sent towards the team, harmlessly flying by as they learn what they're going to tussle with.

Mission 3 picks up over a month later, the team has been on garrison/patrol duty since the Mercury engagement.
Ghost has finally had his Marauder up and running, needing a shakedown mission to work out the machines new upgrades.
Hamm is unfortunately sidelined due to unforeseen maintenance.

In the end the team was successful, they dispatched 7 enemy units, rescued the SWG pilots, and recovered almost all of the Mercury.
As a sign of thanks the SWG commander helped them increase their salvage shares for this operation allowing the team to get creative with some of their refits.

All the while this was going on a Longtom and its associated ammo truck began slowly sneaking out the back of the dropship. Our valiant heroes failed to notice before it was too late and the two vehicles escaped the field, giving the Charger an opening to withdraw as well.

These two pilots duked it out while the lance resolved the pests attacking their charges.
Both pilots tore into each other but the wear and tear from the hours of fighting took its toll on the SWG pilot and she began making mistakes.
The lance was forced to come to her aid.

The SWG Shadowhawk kept retreating but it took major internal damage, the four Savanah Masters tore deeper into the friendly lines and went after the engineers and the MASH truck forcing the team to focus on the bigger threats.
The SWG Phoenix Hawk(?) took this time to turn on the Charger and engage

This monster rushed the SWG Shadowhawk, blasting it with inferno loaded SRMs and a splash of medium pulse lasers for good measure.
Of course things couldn't get better could they? Four Savanah Masters hit the field with the brute and began to tie up our heroes.

With the ECM down the team began to call out to the scout team, encouraging them to fall back. The Shadowhawk was in rough shape and took their advice making its way slowly to link up.
Of course things can't be so easy, a heavily modified Charger hit the field running and was not going to play nice.

Not to be outdone the SWG pilot in the strange Phoenix Hawk lept at the Cicada that'd been giving them trouble and to the teams surprise after it fired a large blade launched out of its forearm and speared the mech in the cockpit.
This finally shut the the ECM bubble down and restored coms

As the team pushed their way closer, protecting their charges, Blur jumped at a Firefly, firing everything he had from behind.
It seemed to not do much before the mech toppled over, a single machine gun round found its way through the hole his lasers burned and punched through the pilot, killing him

A pair of Fireflies pounced on the team raining LRM fire as soon as they hit the field. The Cicada remained close to the two SWG mechs who despite being beaten up, fighting for hours, and likely running low on ammo kept trying to push the little bug away from the Mercury.

The team deploys to the field and first thing they noticed was the SWG mechs seemed to be in a fight still but a Cicada had an ECM bubble up around them keeping them off coms.
Both mechs were in rough shape, one a Shadowhawk the other a strange uparmored Phoenix Hawk.

2 days later after repair, rearm, and recovery time the team is summoned by Kingdom.
He informs them that they're being sent to recover the Mercury or blow it up to prevent equipment theft.
They're being sent in with a MASH unit and a team of combat engineers to salvage or save the poor ship.
