The Set-up
Two forces within the Free Worlds League, after a period of feuding, were negotiating the end of their hostilities and the creation of an alliance. They were also angling for independence from the Free Worlds League. Barrett Osis, CO of the 201st Stryker Regiment, agreed to send two lances of MechWarriors to assist the existing security forces. Ryan Lewis, Gregor Heimler, Alex Polarbear, and Perfecto Oviedo, were assigned to this mission. Payment in full would be sent after completion of negotiations, and the departure of the delegates.

Gregor Heimler led the lance Perfecto was a member of. They were guarding the south entrance to the star-port compound, where hostilities broke out, while the other 201st lance guarded the north entrance.

" Things had gone south very quickly... "
House Marik was not pleased with the existence of these negotiations, and sent the 12th Marik Regulars to disperse them. The force applied was unexpected, as the details of the negotiations were kept relatively secret. Nonetheless, the Regulars had smashed through the 201st lance, along with the other security forces. Ryan and Perfecto managed to break away and hide in a nearby canyon to the south. A dust storm was approaching them and the compound. After some time traveling, they turned about and tried to reach the compound, and their lancemates.

Suddenly, they ran into two Awesome assault 'mechs. With both Ryan and Perfecto piloting Hunchback 4SPs, they were vastly out-tonned and out-gunned. They took refuge briefly the dust storm, now virtually on top of them.

" You and I had them so crossed up... "
Perfecto and Ryan had to return to the star-port compound quickly. They used an opening in the canyon, and the dust storm to their advantage. Perfecto managed to maneuver behind the Awesomes, and opened fire, followed by Ryan. They were forcing the Awesomes back to the compound, when two Raven light 'mechs began to attack them as well. Perfecto and Ryan managed to use the dust storm to their advantage, now all but completely obscuring their visuals. They used the Awesomes' friendly fire to destroy the Ravens, and then retreated into the storm.

Extraction
After waiting out the storm, they received a message from their DropShip. The other Strykers had retreated to the ship, which flew out of range until the dust storm cleared. Perfecto and Ryan then made their way to the DropShip and departed the system without incident. The mission was considered a failure, but there was no loss of 'mechs or lives for the 201st Strykers.
