We have remounted our assault on Borealtown, Wotan. The drop is complete.

During the drop, one of our Command DropShips, the Hermione, crashed. The wreckage contains highly sensitive and necessary data stores that must not fall into the hands of the enemy.

Your unit must find the DROPSHIP WRECKAGE, download the data-packs if possible by INSPECTION, and then DESTROY the DROPSHIP WRECKAGE. Search the zone by following your NAV sequence. The enemy undoubtedly knows of the dropship's location.

Objectives

Situations and Aftermaths

As Wolf OmniFighters streaked out of their DropShips toward the city of Borealtown, the city seemed to come to life. Beams of ruby, emerald, and sapphire light stabbed into the sky, and soon the sound of explosions rocked the night. Within minutes small spots of bright orange flame appeared in the darkened city streets, marking the spots where the fighters' bombs had struck. In the rolling hills outside the darkened city, waves of Wolf DropShips landed and unleashed their cargo of 'Mechs.

Within minutes Wolf OmniMechs had reached the city and began to slug it out with the Falcon 'Mechs that hid behind the empty buildings and darted through the narrow avenues. In the middle of the chaos, a Star of Wolf 'Mechs circled one of their own and made their way into Borealtown.

The group of 'Mechs met little resistance as they made their way to the heart of the city. The area was built on the highest point in the city and provided a spectacular view of the once thriving metropolis, but the MechWarriors did not notice. Then they reached a ring of buildings and encountered a lone Jade Falcon Executioner. They had found their prey.

Aftermath

After performing the batchall with Ulric Kerensky, Chistu prepared his ambush. First, he separated two Stars of OmniMechs from the Clusters he had stationed in Borealtown. Then, Falcon techs reconfigured the 'Mechs for use as missile batteries. The 'Mechs took positions in a plaza three blocks behind the Magistracy area where the two MechWarriors planned to duel. As soon as Ulric and the Wolf 'Mechs appeared, Chistu fed the hidden Falcon Stars telemetry on Ulric's position. Before the Wolves recognized Chistu's treachery, the hidden Falcon 'Mechs sent flights of LRM missiles at the Ulric's Gargoyle, destroying the 'Mech and the adjacent Wolf 'Mechs. Then Chistu finished off the remaining Wolf 'Mechs.
