[msmc-796-official]

// Here we go, folks! Y'all ready to go?

> I've just finished a cursory inspection of the mechs; everything seems to be in fighting order. Though, I must ask - where has Slipshod disappeared to?

// Huh. Y'know, I'm not sure, exactly. Last I heard, they said something about going to find their headse- oh no. Cover your ears, Commander, I suspect it's going to get-

LLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMEN; GIRLS, GAYS, AND THEYS; PILOTS, HANDLERS, AND NHPS OF ALL PERSUASIONS!

ARE YOU READY... FOR A SQUADRON SHOWDOWN???

that's right folks, for ONE NIGHT ONLY you'll get to witness two of the greatest mercenary companies this side of the Rocky Mountain Line duke it out to see which squadron comes out on top!

as my co-announcers Broadband and Dial Up aboard the Sylvia's Requiem have so kindly introduced our competitors from CORSAIR Mercenary Company - those being the one and only Saber Squadron - I feel it is only my duty as our company's resident technophile to give our gals a proper introduction

without further ado, it is my pleasure to introduce to you our challengers from Mirrorsmoke Mercenary Company - MSMC-796 Heaven's Fury!

first on the roster - you know her well folks: resident voice of MSMC and high-flying sniper elite, PR extraordinaire and pilots rights activist; demons beware her righteous wrath, for she is... ANGEL!

allllright folks - you've met our competitors, you've seen their stats, and hell, maybe you've even placed some bets. I've got a squadron waiting for me back in the hangar, so I'm gonna pass it back over to my partners in the CMC broadcast booth to describe the battlefield and conditions for the match. take it away, Broadband and Dial Up!

-- Angel, Slipshod, & Lockbreaker

GOOOOOOOOOD TIMEZONE OMNINET

This is Broadband! And this is Dial up! Both coming to you from within the Sylvia's Requiem showcasing and broadcasting one of our training arenas because do we have a show for you all! CORSAIR's own Saber Squadron is going head to head with MSMC's own @msmc-796-official HEAVEN'S FURY. We've got a brawl of titans lined up tonight! Before we introduce our sister company's stars I think we should invite you all to see our wonderful company head and her squadron. In order for this to be a fair fight Saber squadron has dropped licenses in order to be LL9 to make sure they don't pull any tricks.

First up we have the Pointperson Themselves, Aranessa Valencious the Fourth from the House of Stone... LEEEETS GIVE IT UP FOR DANCER! Running in a one of a kind Orchis and with years worth of Pankration and CMC contracts the folks at MSMC are in for a tough fight. For those of you who want to get a good look at the Specs will be linked to all of our pilot's builds at the end.

Second up CORSAIR's chief battle medic, Katherine Wainwright. But some you know her much better as.... SAWBONES! Our girl has a long storied history with Commodore and several battlefields across the long rim. Running in quite possibly the most armed Lancaster I've seen you best hope that Tacyon lance is not pointed at you.

Last but certainly not least. You know her. You love her. The owner of CMC herself. Let's give it up for COMMODORE! Do we even have to introduce her to you all? Piloting what's been her mech from day one (Well the build hasn't changed thats for certain) LEGAL ON PAPER an Everest still serving as hard as ever. It's time to show you all what someone like her can really do!

Grab your drinks, your meals and a seat. Get yourselves ready for a battle that's only beaten out by the Fireman Saga itself. And welcome our sister company MSMC to the proving grounds!
