Mech Tactics: Operation Svaboda

[Zephyr2011]

"General you presume too much." The Wriath said with a crafty glimmer in his eyesover the comlink. "I have yet to join your fight. My servicies don't come cheap. What do you have to offer me? Consider your words carefully General, insult me and the Russians and UN will be offered my contract and you really dont want that." Zephyr said with a wicked smile. His pilot made a few signs with his hands and Zephyr gave him the thumbs up to leave St. Petersburg airspace.

 

High in the sky near where the great black plane had been soaring a new creature was in place. A jet black stealthed UAV complete with a radar scrambler. It served as a long range linkup for the harder to intercept frequencies he preferred comunicating with. They weren't as long ranged as satelite but they were far more secure and The Wraith liked secure.

Anton hears cracks coming from his watch. He screams at the Lieutenant to get into the mech and seal it. Unfortunitly he was killed by the radiation. Anton ran up onto his mech and closed it. He screamed on the radio," This is captain Krut 1st mech devision. We need all help we can get. If anyone hears me please respond. The Saint's Petersburg base is destroyed, I am the only survivor. Radiation detectors on high." He then repeated it in English. He thought to himself: What kind of mess is going on here. So many mercs. Where the hell did they even get the mechs. Looks like I am alone. Who knows what casulties the city took. Also looks like those idiots are using radiation. Theres going to be a payback. I am going to laugh at those monsters as they run away screaming.

[DeathWarrior]

Hearing Anton's radio broadcast, Sidrovich responds, "I read you captain, but my mech is damaged and in need of repairs. I am the only survivor of my squad and in need of orders, over." He had been part of one of the very few divisions that was in St. Petersburg during the attack. The radiation warning lights in his mech were flashing red, and he knew he had to get out of the area before it leaked in, but the radar was fried during the attack and would be risking an ambush. Either way he was likely going to die so he moved the mech to a less irradiated area and shut down all systems except for the radio and life support, waiting for the orders he requested.

[clockout1]

"Fire." Storm said cooly.

 

Yellow flashes and streaks appeared as bullets screamed towards the unaware targets. Small explosions lit up the enemy mechs, and one unlucky one lost a leg at the joint, causing it to topple over. The enemies were now fully aware of Storm and his squad, as they too turned and fired.

 

"Taking hits!" A mercenary yelled. His mech suddenly fell over, creating large vibrations as it slammed into the ground. "DAMN IT! My goddamn legs are trapped! Get me the f*ck out of here!

 

"Hang on!" Storm yelled back over the comm, "Cover me! I'm goin' out!"

 

Storm powered down his mech, bypassing the radiation warnings, and opened the cockpit. The frigid air penetrated the cockpit, soon being driven out by his suit's heater. A radiation symbol was spinning in the top right corner of his visor. Storm tried not to look at it.

 

Activating his jets, he propelled himself a quarter of the way to his downed comrade's mech, only to have a beam of high energy fly right past him. Storm decided running would be a better idea, so he clicked on his radar jammers and visual disruptors and began sprinting. Halfway, three quarters...a massive explosion almost blew him over as one of the enemy mechs cores melted down, releasing a miniature mushroom cloud. Finally, Storm reached the downed mech.

 

"The door is stuck! I can't override the hydraulics!" The mercenary screamed from inside.

"Gimme a sec!" Storm yelled in response. Raising his ELPR that seemed to appear out of nowhere, he pulled the trigger, hitting the exposed wiring on the mech, overriding everything, which unfortunately included the radiation filter, and the mercenary wasn't protected. Knowing he had to act quickly, Storm managed to pry open the entry to the cockpit.

 

"I can't move my legs." The mercenary said.

"Don't worry, you're safe now," Storm replied, which completely contradicted what was going through his head. Forcing down his thoughts, he replaced them with actions. First, he pulled the mercenary free from the mech. Storm decided he would have to use the jets, although it would make him an easier target. He fired, and cleared half the distance. Firing again, he reached the mech, and a third burst got him standing on top of the mech, still carrying the mercenary. He activated the remote open button and safely entered the cockpit. Storm laid the mercenary down in the space behind his seat, and closed the cockpit. Powering up, he re-activated the radiation control as the final enemy mech went down in a show of fire.

 

"Alright squad, we're pulling back. Even if it means disobeying the General, I will not risk losing you to radiation. I'm gonna notify him now."

Switching to the long range comm, he said, "General Zhou. We are pulling back. I repeat, we are pulling back. I have one downed mech and a wounded mercenary, and besides, the radiation will take care of any mechs still within the radiation zone."

[antonkr]

"Unknown transmitter, please identify your self. Whats your name, and who was the commander of your group. Is your cabin pressurized ? responded Anton. He knew he was in trouble. Even though, his cabin was sealed shut, he felt like he was getting radiated. His grand dad was one of the fireman in Chernobyl, when the disaster stroke. He was dieing in so much pain. Perhaps for the first time in his life, Anton was truly frightened.

[DeathWarrior]

Sidrovich responds, "This is Cpl. Sidrovich of the 3rd Mech Division, callsign Strogg, and my commander was Captain Negev. My cabin is sealed but damaged it won't hold for long. Requesting orders, over." He keeps one hand near the power switches to the Mech's systems that are currently deactivated. His mind was a mess, with human thoughts on one side and computer processes running on the other, causing him to stare blankly into space while waiting for his orders.

[NStigma]

First of all sorry for taking so long to participate. I needed to play few games on xbox and... Games usually hook me up. ^^

 

Five shining dots flew through the sky.

"So everybody know what were doing?" Rob sighed. It was third time during this mission when commander asked.

"Yes, sir. Just like you asked four minutes ago"

"Ehh... Right"

 

This was Everwood's first mission as commander so no wonder he tried to to make everything go smoothly.

 

Suddenly one of the D.A.R.T mechs exploded.

"OH SH**! WHAT WAS THAT?!" One of the pilot's code named Flame, slowed down his mech.

"Oh, crap! Artillery! Heads up people", commander said.

"Our convoy! I can't see anything through that smoke", Rob yelled to his radio, and tried to find a spot where to see the convoy.

"It means it's time to dive people", commander said nervously.

 

All four mechs dived into the smoke.

[shadowmadnezz]

"I presume only that you'll do whats in your best interest. You've got quite the reputation. And with that reputation has earned you bad blood against my peers. So heres my proposition Wraith." General Zhou said over the comlink to the Wraith. He gave a brief pause, then began to speak again.

 

" The amount of 2 million credits will be transferred to the account of your choosing. All of your previous endeavors against the NCR will be whipped clean, Do I make myself clear? We're willing to give you a clean slate - as well as enough money to keep a smile on your entire private military faces. "

 

Zhou completed his chatter on the comlink, and halted his men from destroying anymore civilian cars. He ordered the mechs forward, towards the city where the cars were traversing from, and made The Kamikaze slowly head behind them. Zhou received another message from comlink, from Storm. after hearing he was pulling back, He ordered two of the mechs to stand by. Before activating his comlink, General Zhou muttered something in Chinese under his breath.

 

"Storm this is General Khai Zhou.. I've received your message. Maybe my English is not as good as I thought it was. It sounded like you were telling me you were pulling back?" Khai Zhou laughed calmly, at the same time he gestured to the two mechs on stand by to locate Storms Signal. "The Russian Base is still online - barely. I need it taken down before UN troops arrive. Pulling back isn't going to destroy the base is it?" General Zhou said to storm. He shut down the comlink after receiving another incoming message, he grinned and gave another light mutter of Chinese before speaking out.

 

"Commander Ho. what is it?" Khai ordered out.

 

"Your plan was successful it seems.. But still don't think you are my better." Commander Ho ordered down to Khai Zhou.

 

"I'm sorry commander.. Please, what is it you have for me?"

 

"I've got a strike team not far from your location. Artillery, Mechs. an entire ground fire squad at your disposal. When should I send them in??"

 

"I don't need reinforcements.." General Zhou said

 

"General Zhou. Don't let your pride get the better of you. There is a UN force heading your way now! when they get there You will be out matched!"

 

"I'm sorry. Commander Ho.. You seem to be breaking up." Zhou said sarcastically over the comlink.

 

"What? there is no interfer-" Zhou shut off the comlink. he watched the two mechs he sent rushing towards Storm's location, then ordered the others to head towards St. Petersburg at a steady pace.

[CommanderCrazy]

Gunman was walked through the St. Petersburg base at gunpoint.

His radar operator was carried on a stretcher, also with a gun facing him.

 

Although the base looked heavily damaged, inside the base was perfect....... they just set the generators at half power.

"Khai has no idea how wrong he is, they are going to cut him down" Gunman said to Radar as they passed an open door that led into a mech hangar.

 

In the commanders office, Gunman talked about integration into the Russian Federations army. Faint words could be heard outside:

"200,000 Credits per op"

"Full use of the garage"

"I know, but"

"Seriously?"

"Done" was the final word said, obviously by the Russian commander. The Electrochromic windows unfogged & they shook hands.

 

"One more thing, Commander" Gunman said, "Khai is killing civvies."

The commander responded by talking into the base PA microphone,

"Everyone of the St. Petersburg Guard! Your time has come! We have trained for this! It has gone on for long enough! Everyone to your battlestations & mech's & prepare to move out!

Khai Zhou is getting reinforcements, so it is going to be a glorious battle 400 Chinese vs 850 Russians! Who do you think, In your mind good soldiers, will win?"

 

10 hangars could be seen opening in the windows & a battlecry that would put fear into god could be heard as tanks, APC's, Mechs & soldiers ran out.

 

((Electrochromic Windows. also known as Smart Glass.))

[Zephyr2011]

Zephyr laughed coldy, "Ahahahahahaha! General you honestly think you could hunt me down? I've been in your precious NCR over a dozen times in the past two months and I've remained completely undetected. You insult me with your pitiful offer, 2 million credits and amnesty? My jacket is worth twice that and your pardon means nothing to me when you can't lay a had on me anyway. The UN strikeforce is coming your way, the Russians aren't anywhere close to being beaten and they are about to hurl waves upon waves of reinforcements upon you and crush your pathetic force. Not to mention the fact that the sleeping giant has been roused. Within four months the UN will field an American mech model the likes of which the world has never seen and it shall bring the Chinese Republic to its knees. Now I suggest you make a better offer because that's strike one and you don't want to see what happens when you strike thrice." The Wraith said with vindication.
