Attention Crew and Passengers. Ship will now swithc from 1G acceleration at 2Gs acceleration. Please assume a stable position and avoid unnecessary movements."
"Good day Brigadier Smith, Legate Vasicek." you approach the leaders of the two groups hired thus far. "
"Good day Gentlemen, Lady." you approach the leaders of the two groups hired thus far, each with an aide.
Legeate Vasicek and Brigadier Smith are seated at the dining table, next to the Legate is Centurion Williams, and a fatigues wearing woman next to Brigadier Smith.
"Mr. York, meet Subaltern Valeria Kong. She is the one who managed to turn our second Company of mechwarriors into a dropship crew to reduce the ransom we had to pay the Davions."
"A pleasure to meet you" she awkwardly extends a hand that you shake far more easily.
"Likewise Miss." you turn to the two men that were previously discussing mechwarrior assignments.
"I see you are trying to fit all the warriors in the Shadowhawks. Fortunately that will not be necessary. I also have two dozen laserboat light mechs that will fit the warriors of the Stampede."
"That is some good news, and it will leave four mediums unmanned. I think you will want to have those as lance leader for one of the light mech companies to stiffen it up" said the Brigadier.
"No. They are rather special machines, with some very interesting electronics systems. From what I gather they should not be mixed with any other type of machine in order to function as needed." you replied. " You will see what I mean once we leave the system and manage to get some practice in, and you most certainly wont be disappointed."
"That will leave me with the 'hawks, and I guess most of my men in all the Goblins and most of the APCs. Mars be praised, it will be just as it should be" the other periphery war leader spoke.
"You are indeed right. The two of you will operate semi independently I suspect, with the light mechs doing their best to leave no evidence of being on the field, being our scouts and daggers, while the mediums and the mechanized infantry will be the main visible thrust. There are also as of now a company of jump troopers and space marines each, that will be assigned to either of the two units as specialists depending on mission."
"Sounds like the begining of a workable plan, provided the light mechs live up to the hype. I'd say I can't wait but I would rather we do not make a habit of traveling this fast everywhere." said Brigadier Smith
"It is somewhat uncomfortable" concured the Legate, " There is also the next issue, who will have overall comand on the ground? You are the owner, but are a fresh aerospace pilot - you should readjust your rank by the way - I have the most men under my unit, but Smith has the greater number mechs. This should also be settled."
