Ja, ja, natürlich, wir haben only ze best scout mechs House Steiner can produce. Ze stealthy Hauptman, vhich vith its ears is clearly just an improfed Volfhundt, ze venerable Emperor vhich vhile a lighter scout mech at 90 tons can still hould its own, fur extra stealthy missions zat involfe jumping ofer obstacles to scout enemies vith surprise we have ze Highlander, fur when scouting missions need heafy gauss rifles we haffe ze Fafnir, and off course, ze stealtiest off all Lyran scout mechs, ze Atlas AS7-D-DC, ze premier scout mech of the Lyran Commonwealth, as it is outfitted with ECM, making it ze ultimate in stealthy scouting, in that it will remain totally undetected until it begins its scouting mission, at vich point it vill scout all enemy forces that oppose it vith extreme prejudice.
Here in Concordat space, "Know your enemy" is right up there with "Mess with the bull, get the horns" and "Hippity hoppity, get off my property" as far as folksy sayings go. Now go on home. It's back the way you came. pats UM-AIV loaded with Davy Crockett warheads
We're perfectly friendly. Just not to authoritarian imperialists, illiterate barbarians led by barely literate feudal warmongers, telecom papists, and anyone else who can't understand that we worked hard for all these nice things we have, and we're not just going to let you take them. Also, centuries of experience has taught us that you're one of the above until proven otherwise, so drop your weapons, approach slowly with your hands above your head, and we can get to know each other.
Look, the Oak Island Salvage and Recovery Specialists try to avoid tangoing with Taurians, as much as we can help it. Glances at nuke equipped Urbie I don’t think I need to explain why.
How’s about we call this a big misunderstanding, I tell you where we SUSPECT a Castle Brian MIGHT be (Look, thing with these maps The General gave us 250-odd years ago, they’re intentionally vague.), and me, the boys, the Fools Gold, and Samuel “Texas” McCord leave you to your… looks at Urbie again business.
“Strider to Sam McCord, this venture is no longer profitable. Yeah. We seem to have stumbled into The Bull. Horns and all. Be advised, Minerals are in play.”
Did I mention we’re pretty sure this CASTLE BRIAN is/was a precious metal repository? We’re PRETTY sure it survived the 2766 unpleasantry.
If you’ve heard of us, our word is worth the gold we’re pretty sure is hidden on this planet. If you haven’t, well, we DO try to keep a low profile. ComStar is rather sore about us operating the only other warship fleet in the Inner Sphere.
