A small fleet of New Dominion ships arrives over Icars
"Dominion fleet, this is Icars control. State your intentions."
"This is Star Admiral Marius Sukhanov of Clan Snow Raven requesting safcon for our ground units to trial for this world. "
"Safcon is granted for orbital insertion, Star Admiral. Be advised that as commander of CIHS Inhale it falls to my crew to defend this world. Our ship's marines have bid amongst themselves, and Elemental Point Charlie will oppose your trial challenge."
"With a bid like that, one wonders why you even bother to stay here at all. Many of my warriors will bid, but the purpose of our trial requires a reasonable bid down. I shall advise you of what stand before you."
"My warriors request to know the location of this trial? There are space equipped mechs aboard the CSRS Victory at Wolcott (Kyushu), that would bid if there is room enough for them to stand."
Waiting for Ice Hellion response.
"There are several asteroids in this star system that would be suitable for a trial. Alternately, I would by happy to volunteer the deck of Inhale - though at just over 300 meters your MechWarriors might feel a bit cramped."
The winning bid is Elemental point of Star Commander Hector.

want to roll it out like we did the last elemental-on-elemental trial? +1 bonus on the rolls to your guys for quality?
Sure thing. I was going to suggest that.

They were obviously tired from fighting thru all the challenges as the ND Elementals rotated in.
(OOC: yeah, I was thinking exactly the same thing)
Defeated by the superior Dominion marines, CIHS Inhale salutes the courage of the enemy and sets course for the jump point, leaving Icars in Raven hands.
