ISMV Fallen Gods, upgraded Union-class DropShip
We’ve finally left that hell hole known as Elgin and I sincerely hope we never return to the Chaos March again if Elgin is any example. It’s been some time since I’ve last updated this journal and quite frankly there was little I wanted to record or to remember of my time there.
Even if we couldn’t prove anything there is a distinct feeling of being used by the Word of Blake, but we were clearly used by the Prime Minister in his games against his own government. The ones who truly suffered were the poor citizens of Mai-lao from Hollinger’s insane bombardments. Had I been able to, I would’ve cheerfully razed the government buildings of the so-called world government on Lunzberg. And I have a feeling I wouldn’t have been alone.
We have another garrison contract, this time on Summer. I’ve never been there, but I have heard of it and thank the gods it’s in civilization. Even if it is on the border with the Free Worlds League. The border is currently quiet, but while I don’t know a great deal about the Chaos March, or mercenaries, I do know the history between my people and one of their oldest neighboring foes. The border is quiet now, but I doubt if it’ll remain quiet for all that long with the way the rest of the Sphere seems bent on setting itself afire. I just hope that we’ll have enough time to recover from Elgin.
At least we had a brief and relatively painless assignment by helping the FedSuns get rid of a nest of pirates. The battle was in vacuum which made it…interesting. Both Nicholai and Victor had engine breaches, but fortunately the M.A.S.H. units were able to get to them in time before the life support failed. Unfortunately, that battle has given me a new nickname of “Shotgun Queen” courtesy of Spyros. I just got lucky with the number of breaches I got in the enemy mechs with my LBX. What is it with people giving me royal nicknames?
So I wonder what kind of hell Summer is going to prove to be? I know it’s going to be a hot one. It would be nice if for once we got an assignment on a pleasantly cool planet. Or at least in a region that gets snow!
