[fluff] **Newsflash** Keystone, 3070 Jan. 6th
INN -- Mere minutes ago the gunfire ended.
Mercenaries hired to provide protection for our magnificent Earthwerks Central complex were sent out to investigate reports of suspicious activity in the Earthwerks workers apartment district. Showing surprising care and great use of the renowned dexterity of mechs, the detachment sent to investigate navigated the cramped alleys and narrow side streets of that district.With a captured Clan assault omnimech in the forefront the militants vehicles were forced to withdraw under heavy fire, reportedly losing several vehicles and an apartment building that had been turned into a vehicular supply depot. Investigations into how those vehicles got into the building are underway.
Tragically, militants driving medium weight hovertanks attempted an obvious flank attack. In an incident that would have been laughable if it were not for the body count, three of the onrushing hovercraft failed to make the famous bend next to our INN tower. Racing through the city at break neck speeds usually only seen in races, the ensuing crash resulted in a hovercraft flipping end over end through our parking lot before slamming into the building at over 125 km/hr. While design parameters instituted in civilian building during the Age of War prevented a total structural failure, entire floors were horrendously damaged and we have too many employees injured or worse.
In an ironic twist, the Word of Blake Liaison attached to the mercenary unit was the first responder on site and helped to both stabilize the structure and clear a path for fire and EMS personnel. Our photos of this may be the first know images of a Celestial Omnimech acting in such a humanitarian manner in the entire Inner Sphere. We will be following the developments of the story as they happen.
The peace of Blake be upon you. The journalists at INN over simplified matters of course. The two groups of attackers do not appear to be from the same faction. The material inside the supply cache indicate modern era designs or equipment. The hovercraft attack were all vintage machines produced prior to the molestation of the Helm Memory Core, in fact the chassis that was horribly wasted by improper handling before it hit the building appears to have been from 2860. There appears to be activity from two of the known insurgent groups now that you have landed on planet.

There may come a time when i need a favor from you....
Welcome to Keystone mercs. Here are the options for the scenarios available.
1. The neighbors new car - something suspicious has been sighted over in the workers apartment district. Go check it out. - cost 300 pts
2. Was that a fish?! - something suspicious is going on in the Botanical Gardens, it may just be squatters, but you should check it out anyways. - cost 150 pts
3. Disperse the protesters - the local student activists are at it again. Go shoo them off, but remember that the news copters are hovering around. (any mechs with machine guns have access to riot rounds and tear gas srms are available for standard srms.) - cost 225 pts
Don't forget that you MUST protect the Earthwerks facilities.
Due to work issues I will not be able to start the game until 2 pm
