As we move into the designated area, Fanton comes on over the radio. "Keep an eye out for any facilities in the area. We need them intact."
The landscape is so rugged that we can barely see anything. Blade6119 is off a little on his own, (apparently checking something out) so he uses his jump jets to try and get a better view of the area.
0:10 - From up in the air, Blade6119 is able to spot a decent amount of the terrain. Off in the distance he can see a cluster of buildings, and halfway there is a Deforcer. It's a 100 ton titan, but we have no idea as to it's capabilities.
1:37 - The rest of the squad has drawn near Blade6119. Almost everyone can see the Deforcer now. In addition, a flight of long range missiles comes in from far off in the distance. We aren't able to spot the source, but many of them hit SirFozzie causing various minor damage.
2:10 - The Deforcer apparently has a neutron blaster, but this doesn't seem to be affecting Blade6119. He charges into close range, sending both titans crashing to the ground.
2:18 - Blade6119 is the first to get to his feet, and he unleashes, hitting with almost everything. This destabilizes the Deforcer, sending it crashing back to the ground as it attempted to stand.
2:30 - The Deforcer manages to get to it's feet despite the pounding from the rest of the squad. It manages to connect with a kick, sending Blade6119 crashing to the ground. It follows this up with a chainsaw attack which seriously damages one of Blade6119's own chainsaws. The neutron blaster also it's, causing Blade6119 to scream in pain.
2:45 - Blade6119 continues to be pounded on by both visible enemies. He's have a hard time recovering his feet, particularly when one shot hits his titan's head, wounding him even more.
3:01 - Finally Blade6119 regains his feet. His titan looks in very poor shape with gaping holes blown clear through his armor in many shots. Knowing that he won't be able to quickly get out of the line of fire, he lets loose with everything he's got (causing various armor damage), and then ignites his jump jets.
3:09 - Unfortunately, when he brings the titan back down, hoping to crash it into the enemy, he missing, and falls heavily to the ground.
3:11 - At last, a blast from sachmo71's auto cannon rips off the left leg of the Deforcer sending it to the ground as well. Blade6119 may yet survive!
3:25 - Blade6119 regains his feet again, and while turning to get out of the line of sight of the Pariah (the one launching missiles), let's loose with his missiles, destroying the right torso of the Deforcer.
3:33 - Moments after a tesla bolt shot from Godzilla Blitz hits its head, the pilot of the Deforcer ejects, leaving just the Pariah. Everyone begins retargeting while Blade6119 continues to move out of sight.
3:48 - As the squad begins moving in on the Pariah, suddenly a Musketeer moves into view at close range. It targets Blade6119, damaging his heat sinks. That's definitely not good. Fortunately, only moments later, Blade6119 moves out of it's sights. Everyone else begins retarting on the new enemy.
4:04 - The Musketeer nails Godzilla Blitz, knocking him to the ground.
4:13 - Unfortunately, while trying to stand up, the Pariah hits him again, knock him back down.
4:22 - At last, Godzilla Blitz recovers his feet. A quick shot from his tesla bolt knocks the Musketter to the ground. This is extremely good timing, as SirFozzie is just about to move into close range with it.
4:26 - Sure enough, just seconds later, SirFozzie moves in close, knocking the Musketeer back to the ground with a kick, and then dealing significant damage with both fists and cannons.
4:32 - Taking advantage of the easier target, sachmo71 connects with his plasma gun and destroys the center back torso of the Musketeer
4:37 - Seeing that the Musketeer appears to be disabled, SirFozzie retargets and begins heading for the Pariah. Everyone else will move back into sight of it soon and join in.
5:23 - Bad news! Apparently in his eagerness to take out the Musketeer, sachmo71 let his heat get too high. Before he is able to sufficiently cool down, he realizes that his autocannon ammo is about to cook off. With deft fingers, he reroutes some power, readjusting the heat levels, and with a sigh of relief, the explosion is averted. He tries to stop in order to allow his titan to cool further, but stumbles and goes crashing to the ground.
5:39 - SirFozzie moves into close range with the Pariah. The only close ranges weapons the enemy has is a medium laser, so SirFozzie is confident that he can quickly bring it down. Behind him, the others (including Blade6119 now) continue moving closer, preparing to fire.
6:20 - Uh oh. All the activity was apparently too much for Blade6119's damaged heat sinks. With a sudden roar, all of his missile ammo explodes. This completely takes out his titan, and we are left without any indication of his status.
6:29 - Fortunately for SirFozzie (who has been engage in a punching and kicking match due to excess heat), Godzilla Blitz finally moves into range and lets loose a shot from his tesla bolt. This rips of the right leg of the Pariah, likely sealing it's fate.
6:32 - Moments after sachmo71 lets loose an aimed shot at the downed enemy's head (which unfortunately misses), the pilot of the Pariah ejects, ending the battle.

Having verified that we've eliminated the enemy, we contact Fanton again.
"Good work. The Research Team is ready to be deployed. Secure the perimeter so they can do their job. I'll contact you again as soon as I have new orders for your squad."
Good, we'll need some down time to make repairs and purchase a new titan for Blade6119
Actually, after further consideration, it is apparent that Blade6119's titan can be repaired for slightly less than buying a new one. We need to consider some changes though. He seems to be single-handedly sending our repair bills sky high. The total cost this time is $165,811. This still allows us a profit, but isn't a useful trend...

Well, it looks like Blade6119 should gain a rank next battle. That will be pretty useful. I might have to consider getting him larger titans. That might help cut down on the amount of damage he is taking.
We've got a pretty decent amount on money in the bank. Perhaps I should also consider hiring another pilot...
