There's no way this is anything but Justin putting out a contract on Max, one way or another. I'm voting A, Accept the Mysterious Contract. They've taken our hangers-on and killed them. They've taken our world. All that is left is Vengeance!

Ooh, that Capellan letter has me intrigued. Wonder if that's from Justin or Romano offering to take out dear old Dad. It wouldn't be very Space Mexican-y to pass up a chance at revenge. Accept. E: I see great minds think alike.

My vote is for option A. Colonel Camacho desires satisfaction (vengeance) for the execution of his wife; let him have it. As for Caesar, unless he has the luck of a devil, he's got a good chance of losing to Star Colonel Dusk. Seventeen minutes unless the Tigris can leave?! Exactly how long does it take for a dropship to power up?

They can be launched in a hurry, but that's usually just a good way to discover someone left a cargo hatch open on the Fiesta deck.

I don't think that will actually do anything worse than depressurize the Fiesta Deck as long as all the internals are sealed, when you're launching. You don't want to try to aerobrake with a hatch undogged, but you should be able to make it into space "safely" enough.

Of all the ridiculous things in BattleTech, easily the dumbest is him losing a fight to Victor Davion. Lincoln Osis took shits bigger than him. Anyway, D cause you can't do all this killing for something and then just ditch it for what might be nothing. Anyway Caesar's got a plan. I don't know what it is but I assume it involves off-map movement which he totally gets to do. Defiance Industries fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Apr 19, 2011 |

As much as I want to see the space mexicans get their revenge on, I have to agree with Zaodai and vote: C) Ignore the mysterious contract and return to Atreus as-ordered, but for a slightly different reason. Blood for blood is dandy, but I want some variety in the PTNverse. Let's start a few more storylines before we wrap them up in beautiful revenge (against space chineses).

Okay, folks, let it be known that #MegaMek has figured it out. Before Justin's 'defecting', he was secretly adopted by Hanse. Justin is going to give Romano the nudge she needs to have Mad Max offed, after marrying her. With his lovely bride on the throne, he will then 'discover' the evidence of her treachery, and be forced to have her brought to justice for her crimes against the Confederation. With Romano removed (stood up against a wall and shot) Justin Davion-Liao is now basically in control of an unknowing third of the Federated Suns. He's brought in outsiders with a vested interest in hunting down the remnants of the Death Commandos and the secret forces which still hold Maximilian-style leanings. With the purges underway, Justin decides to remarry; to Melissa Steiner. "My dearest, a gift to you; peace of mind on the Free Worlds League border." With the full forces of the Confederation bearing down on the FWL, since their leader knows they don't need to worry about the FedSuns border (since they are, in fact, a part of the Federated Suns,) pressure is taken off Steiner's southern border, and they can move up to push back at the Clans. Half of the Federated Suns forces are sent to aid them, resulting in the FWL quickly devolving into a civil war between those who can read the writing on the wall and want to throw in with the new order of things and those loyal to that crazy old coot. In short, the FWL is quickly overrun. Following this, Hanse, Melissa and Justin all marry a (singular) Kurita, in one fell swoop creating (a) the kinkiest bedchamber in the Inner Sphere and (b) a gigantic gently caress-off unified Inner Sphere. They then inform the invading Clans of their new status. They state that they wrestled with what to call this unified successor state for a long time; multiple permutations were tried, with "Free Federated Conmonbine" being the most wieldly, until someone suggested "how about just 'The Star League'," and it stuck. They also wrestled with the logo for the new state. The first idea was of the Liao, Kurita and Steiner fists in a pinwheel formation, with the Steiner fist gripping the FWL sword, all set on the background of the Marik plaque, but then they settled on a picture of Hanse Davion and Justin Davion bro-fisting whilst flipping the bird to the cameraman, set above the Cameron Star in all the colors of the five Successor States' logos.

Except it wasn't really a fight so much as Victor saying "No i'm not going to kill you" after Osis asked him to do so, and then doing it after Osis tried to jump Victor from behind (that part is somewhat debatable). Really Victor was killing off someone who was half-dead anyway and even for someone of Osis' stature that's still pretty beat-up. Now if it had been an actual fight between the two unaugmented with Victor crane-kicking Osis' head off or something then yes I would've thought it's pretty ridiculous instead of mildly silly. Anyway I think A is going to win the voting and as much as I lean towards voting D to shake things up (and because gently caress Duncan Marik) I'm going to vote A for the intrigue. And on one last note oh God Colonel Steiner what are you doing
