Situation:
Time is running out. The Blakists know that we're here. Rumor has it that they've set up some sort of "death squad" to track stragglers down and mug them. Cowards. Won't come near the Fortune Hunter and fight us head on, so they try to hit us piecemeal. Sound strategy though, that's how I would do it. Dispatched a Lineholder and Starslayer to provide a little help for my wayward bretheren. Hope they bring my shiny new 'Mechs back in one piece. One good thing about a little skirmish with the Wobbies though, it'll put those machines through their paces. Give me an idea of how well they'll hold up in real combat, not these arena matches. Sgt. Brick has started lobbing Arrow IVs into the sky. Should have my answers pretty quick now.

Well, I feel like a dick writing that last post. Two 'Mechwarriors in the infirmary. Two mangled machines. Tons of armor damage. My Lineholder is nothing but scrap. And the Cudgel is going to take a lot work getting it back on its feet. Better take the time to correct its design flaws while I have the time. Man, I'm taking a bath here. If dealing with the Diamond Sharks wasn't bad enough...even with Diego and his wife working the Clanners, my ass still feels sore. Almost pissed myself when they showed me what we spent on those engines. Sigh. Spent tens of millions of C-Bills on equipment and repairs. Too many wounded. Too much money spent for too little payout. I think it's time to finish filling out gaps in our ranks and leave Solaris VII. But maybe one last purchase...one last roll of the dice...
