Meanwhile, they offer to sell us some mechs they have ready for sale, Ha Otoko BattleMechs and Mad Cat Mark II. The Ha Otoko has no clan building blocks (no clan ferro, XL Engine, double heat sinks, etc). just clan style weapons. It’s cheap, feature a pair of LRM20s and LRM10s, and thus is better than an Archer or many other long range mechs. 6.5 Cbills for one.
Meanwhile they have an upgraded Mark II Mad Cat. It’s a 90 ton mech with 2 gauss rifles, 2 LRM 10s, and 4 er mediums. 4/6/3 movement, 13 tons of ferro armor, endo, the XL engine, and 14/28 heat sinks. If that’s our desire, we can purchase some of those, as well as license the techs needed to keep them operational. 25 mill for a Mad Cat Mark II.
They have a star of Ha Otokos ready to go, and a pair of MC Mk II.
We can buy as many as we want.
What about fixing up the WarShip? What’s the possibility of that?
Let me show you a secret!
The Diamond Shark representative reveals an underground production and restoration facility right here in Twycross. It was built by Steel Viper, when they controlled the planet. The DS Aero Assembly Site Rho is being configured to build one of the Shark’s favorite fighters, and it makes Broadsword DropShips too. It can do some repairs for ships that are atmospheric, and it has a lot of winches and ships that can fly out and do service to a ship in orbit, like,say, our WarShip.
So we could pay to get it refitted here, and they’d be happy to do it for us. It’s better to get them to do it, since the Black Lion was updated with clan tech over the centuries since it left the Inner Sphere with Kerensky.
Repairing it would be pricey, hold on.
The most expensive parts are fine (engine, KF battery, sensors, stuff like that).
It’s a lot of weapons, internal structure, armor, and more.
Looks like it would run around….
About 1 billion CBills to fix up.
We can pay 500k now, and then the rest after they figure out how much it’ll take. And it will take roughly 2 years to finish.
