"We can push past the outcropping next to the apple fields. From there..."

"Mick."

"we can make some time skirting the pond..."

"Mick."

"the shallows lead to the caves and we can hide out there...

"MICK!"

The intent form of Duane Johnson flickered by the firelight. "We can run all day and all night. We made our play and lost." Mick's eyes were crazed. "NO! We can stop them!" Duane grabbed him. "If we could stop them, I'd push them and hurl the last of their mechs back into space myself. Facts are facts. We're not going to pull this one out. Right now, the 1st Brigade is off repairing and the second outnumbers us three to one. If they'd only brought one regiment, we could have held, but by our forefathers, we have sworn to protect the people." Duane motioned to James who'd lost a lot of men in the last week of fighting. "Bring up the Prisoner."

[Fatebringer]

Arn was led into the circle of stones that contained the camp. The shadows of light played off the back of the mechs that stood vigilant outside the circle.

Duane and the others that were left stood, wearing various lether scrap uniforms covered with studded metal patches that held their cooling vests in place. The loincloths were far more cooling in the mech cockpits then the standard shorts most Mechwarrios used.

"Welcome to our circle Mr. Anderson. We need you to deliver a message. The knights will yield and hand over the planet in exchange for the safety and well being of all Soanarans. We ask for nothing else."

[chaosxtreme]

"Oh well now you want to surrender do you...ok. Do you the Knights of Saonara recognize Hunter Humphreys-Halas as your rightful liege lord. Swear to obey him in all things. Your some tough hombre's for sure but are you ready to stand for more then just your world? Are you ready to stand for something bigger?

Are you ready to be apart of something important and rejoin the League? Because thats what this is about. Thats what this has always been about. Think on it and when your ready then  Ill take your message. Think fast because by the sounds of it Natu's been showing you how the boys from Orloff deal with rebels."

[Fatebringer]

"We are in agreement that we choose life and that to continue to continue this fight is death. Take from that what you will, Force Commander." Duane looked into the fire. "No one with the name of Marik is here, or coming."

(If you accept the surrender of the Knights, they will fight for you as troops with "Questionable" Loyalty, if you do not, we roll Round 2 intitiative.)

[Fatebringer]

Bump.

[chaosxtreme]

Then Sir Johnson life you shall have.

You are also correct no one named Marik is coming here and I hate to have to be the one to break it to you but never was. If you had just recognized the Captain-General earlier a lot of boys yours and mine would still be here. But that's neither here nor there.

Arn walked over to the the radio setup
"Hey Rick this is Arn, the phrase is styling and profiling. Saonara has surrendered to the Free Worlds League and these Provincials have accepted the Captain-General as their rightful liege lord tell the Fusilliers drinks are on me when I get back."
