Here we are at ISN talking to people about the war. Here is Crimson, leader of the merc group Crimson's Tide. So Crimson the war is about to resume, your thoughts? The truce is finally up! Hurray! Peace is NOT good for business yah know!! I swear I'm getting a rash from sitting on my butt all day with nothing to do. These little border skimishes barely pay enough for mech maintenance. It was getting so bad there for a while that me and some buddies were thinking about starting our OWN war, just to get a little action around here. Yikes! That would have been expensive. Well there's bad points about the clans and houses both. With the houses, somethings they'll expect you to do somethings for free as if WE were obligated to defend them or something. I got one thing to say to that! Show me the money! Then these clanners, boy they are stange fellows. You can trust them to keep their word, even when they made a stupid deal, but what's with that test tube stuff? Sex is one of the best parts of being a human being. What were they thinking? The Clanners run around like religious zealots. Terra, Terra, Terra. Hundreds of planets and all they can do is talk about Terra! I've been to at least fifty planets, and there's a lot of beauty out there! This should be an intense fight. I don't care who wins really. I take that back, I don't want anyone to win. The longer this war last, the more money for me. Things are looking up for us. I guess life is just strange and hopefully it will get a bit stranger soon. They dont call me crimson for nothing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Here I am talking to someone from one of the clans. Here is Grimjack, a clan technician. The war is resuming, what are your thoughts? Being a clan technician is not all it's cracked up to be. I mean you are alway busy fixing this, installing that. Everytime a couple of mechjocks from the warrior caste get drunk, next think you know it "trial of greivance" this, you insulted my honor that. Then you got blood on the floor and two perfectly well running mechs in danger of becoming two not so well running mechs or worse. I like my job and I've accepted where I am, but what is going to happen now? They'll probably put me on triple shifts. The testosterone levels must be intense. The warrior caste is the definition of macho. Well maybe the war won't be as bad, since inner sphere pilots SUCK and they don't even have a clue about technology, they couldn't possibly damage the mechs as proficiently as clan warriors, so it might just be all right. We're going to win this war, not because of the bonehead macho warrior caste, but because the technician caste will do such a good job on their mechs that even those morons will be undefeatable. After all we're the best clanners, not to be macho or anything. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Here I am talking with BoatCrasher from the warrior caste. The war is resuming, what are your thoughts? It is about honor. We kill the enemy and ravage their worlds. There will be no mercy this time. We won't fall to the their tricks. So how do you feel about the inner sphere? You addressed me as 'you'. My name is Boatcrusher. You have dishonored me by not addressing me by my name. For that you shall die. Bonecrusher attacks the reporter, pumeling his to death as the camera crew starts running. The camera seems like one of those faces of death videos. The camera is shaken as it is pointed to the ground. Sounds of shots fired and bodies hitting the ground fill the background. The camera wirls towards the ground with a thud as the camera man tries to travel lighter. Clan warriors race by the camera, chasing the last of the film crew. A clan warrior faces the camera and a heavy stomp crushes the lense. The video ends, but the bonecrusher stomps again. END OF TRANSMISSION
