Since we are getting kicked off of the planet anyway...
« on: March 25, 2019, 05:00:17 PM »

We are on a planet under interdiction about to be lost to these Jade Turkeys

Should we "secure" the assets at local banks and exchanges before leaving the planet? Are there any culturally important (and valuable) works of art at the local museums? We could protect the heck out of the locals on our way out.

NO.

Talk like that will get us lumped in with the jerk mercs that screwed Raselhague in the Ronin wars.

Sir I respectfully request that we weigh our options carefully. We can buy as much time as we can to get these people out of here and offer our assistance and ask for a blank check before hand or do the right thing as we are employed to do. These people are part of the Lyran Commonwealth and I doubt the good prince or his parents would appreciate us robbing or allowing these people to be hurt. I think as much of the population and personnel we can get off planet the better for them as us. Maybe we can get a bonus out of this since its above and beyond the contract. We need to get this Intel out of here as fast as possible. House line units got their ass kicked then we barely held our own with casualties. Not to mention what the hell were those weapons and mechs? If this Intel isnt valuable to the Davions then im sure others will pay for the info. Also considering the few of the house unit left pretty much left to muster elsewhere to buy as much time as possible. I don't think they need their dropship anymore just as a side note.....

Absolutely not.

The Nunemorean Rangers should conduct themselves with all the proper decorum and ideals one would hold any of the most reputable House or Mercenary units to.  As it stands we have extremely valuable military intelligence that needs to make it back to high command along with a notable member of the Steiner family.  Based on what we've seen so far the enemy has a Frigate or Cruiser and likely between 2 and 4 Dropships.  Those are ships that haven't been seen in action in decades if not centuries.  The mech designs are new, they're sporting weapons that we've never seen before.  We could be looking at upwards of a reinforced regiment, 144 mechs with 24 dropship based fighters in support.  In the first engagement we outnumbered them 2 to 1 and lost.  It could be a significantly smaller force, but if the other troops are the equivalent of what we've faced so far, we won't last.

It would make more sense at that point to take as many men and materials for the war effort as possible along with whatever intelligence we can muster and leave so we can return with sufficient forces to try and retake the planet.  The population is in the hundreds of millions, it's not possible to evacuate it.  So far there's been no reports of attacks on civilian targets or threat of orbital bombardment.

Absolutely, we should.   ;D

Although I am confused, as I left back in Aug and I certainly did not start this thread.  Was I that successful in influencing someone?

But absolutely steal all the stuff, no one will ever find out.

I was already rotten to the core, no influence needed. Just better camouflage.

If the Jade Falcon or the other clans are coming, take the important stuff and flee. We can't let our enemies get something valuable to our culture, right? Any artifact they want to know about would give them tools to defeat us. Besides, they would probably just burn it. Besides, we can call it "payment" for getting the locals off planet. So why not?








( This is called pretending to do the right thing while just wanting to get rich. )


How about this, I roll a 2d6, and if it totals seven or more, we do it.


In case of a yes:
Rolled 2d6 : 5, 3, total 8
