"This data will be very valuable in planning our upcoming assault. Locating that Tai-i from the 9th Pesht was a stroke of luck, his death should disrupt their chain of command. You'll have a couple of days until the assault, so conduct whatever repairs you need to."

"The 12th Donegal Guards took Cadeska Bridge, but the span was damaged during the fighting. With the failures here and at Fosol Bridge, we are in no position to shift the DCMS defenders anytime soon. The people of Rasalhague need us to lead them, we cannot be delayed any longer in the mud of Stanzach. We are departing within the week for Radstadt, the local Prefecture capital and a center or Rasalhaguian resistance. Your performance has been satisfactory, but nevertheless your contract will be terminated on the 15th. This should give you enough time to repair your 'Mechs and seek passage off-planet. You may accompany us to Radstadt if you so desire, but be warned, the fighting will be fierce."

CONTRACT TERMINATED

Note: You can bring this issue to Comstar's Mercenary Review Board, challenging the Tyr Resistance Movement on whether or not they can legally terminate your contract early, or even whether they fairly represented the nature of the contract beforehand. If you won the court battle, you would be paid as if you had accomplished Objectives #1 and #2 in the last battle. You would have to travel back to Galatea and spend a month in court, though, and the Tyr could be able to have the charges reversed by bringing up your unit's defections.

"The 6th of October levels charges against our former employers, the Tyr Resistance Movement, for misrepresenting the terms of our contract, signed in February of this year. Their claims that the engagement of Stanzach was only an Objective Raid led directly to a disastrous battle we were unprepared for. This constitutes a breach of contract against the 6th of October Mercenary Battalion."

"The Tyr Resistance Movement has instructed me to reject these charges, and level countercharges against the 6th of October for defection. On the night of June 5th, a Tyr 'Mechwarrior received a tight-beam transmission from a 6th of October 'Mechwarrior, calling himself "Silver Lining", reporting the presence of treasonous elements within the unit. Two of the 6th's 'Mechwarriors were subsequently declared MIA, and only one recovered a day later. Our subsequent assault, made based on the 6th's data, was disastrous, resulting in the loss of a full company."
