April 17th, 3152 - Day 6

   

The crew drove down to the abandoned mech garage.

   

Claudia and John went slightly ahead in their mechs. They confront the transients living there, and they reveal themselves to be survivors from the Clan invasion of this world. Captain Dominic Paine, and Corporals Sebastian Miliovich and Ruarc Vladislav. They agree to accompany the party and live at their base, but don't commit to joining yet. If they are impressed by the team, they will consider joining and training your infantry.

   

The rest of the crew show up and salvage a bunch of gear from the mech bay, with the permission of the transients/survivors. The salvage includes some highly necessary hand tools, field repair equipment like a manual hoist, and base gear such as welding rods, metal stock, shelving, etc.

The crew and survivors all head home and prepare for their mission tomorrow to help Finnbarr and the friendly vultures do a salvage dig.

April 18th, 3152 - Day 7

   

The crew heads up North to meet with Finnbarr and the friendly(?) vultures. They scouted out a salvage site and they want to dig up a wrecked piece of spaceship, and as part of everyone's agreement, the crew is to protect them from other, even more vicious pirates in the region.

   

The crew sets up a perimeter and discusses preparing defenses, but rival pirates ride out of the distance and attack.

   
   

These new hostile pirates attacked with multiple locusts, a small swarm of technicals, a light tank, and a mobile field base to command it all. The crew was determined to capture that MFB and repurpose it for the rebellion.

   

While the rebels battled to defend the friendly vulture salvage site, Rock and his crew carried the crew's infantry to the enemy's MFB. Dodging enemy tank fire from the ground, the heli-troops were dropped and boarded the MFB, capturing it in a bloody hallway firefight.

   

Some pirates surrendered at the loss of their command vehicle, but others tried to fight their way out of the battle zone. The fighters were cut off and wiped out by reserves from Finnbarr as they tried to exit the area. The crew started collecting the scrap after the battle and taking inventory of their situation, now with several captured vehicles, a wrecked Locust, some prisoners, equipment, and hundreds of kgs more fuel and ammo.
