## Summary We have a report of units moving in the Shinrin Forest. ## Quests / Report A 6th Ghost security patrol spotted Mechs in the Shinrin Forest and GSF units moved in to investigate. With the Arkab Harib force just making planetfall I requested their assistance because The Dragon's Clutch and Eagle’s Tears were engaged elsewhere. The Hands of the Goddess, Kiah’s Hammers and Ironborn all sent units to this mission. This turned out to be a Word of Blake setup: three Mechs were moving in the woods with over half a company of mixed forces hidden throughout the area and half a company of LRM-armed units ready to spring the trap. Our forces forced them to spring early. The enemy took losses; two vehicles were salvaged by WoB and one vehicle crew was KIA. Captain Bonanno recovered the Arkab Harib vehicle crew and infantry that had been in enemy territory. The battle ROM provided useful intelligence on WoB forces present on-world. ## Interactions OpFor - LGC-02 Legacy - BLF-21 Blue Flame - GUR-2G Gurkha - SHD-7CS Shadow Hawk - LGH-6W Lightray - OTT-9CS Ostscout - Manticore Heavy Tank ×2 - Rhino Tank ×2 - LRM Carrier ×2 - Maxim Heavy Hover Transport ×4 - Purifier Adaptive Battle Armor Laser ×4 - IS Standard Battle Armor Laser - Drillson Heavy Hover Tank (ERLL) ×2 Defenders — Hands of the Goddess - ARC-5R Archer — 2/4 — Captain Quintin Bonanno (CO) - GRF-5K Griffin — 3/5 — Lieutenant Niobe Tan (XO) - Warrior H7 — 4/5 - Karnov UR Transport BA (Alpha) — 2/3 — unit heavy damage (crew KIA) - Standard Inner Sphere Battle Armor Laser (C) — 1 — Sergeant Edilenny Exhume (XO Infantry, AIT) - Standard Inner Sphere Battle Armor Laser (D) — 1 (AIT) Defenders — Kiah's Hammers - ZPH-2A Tarantula — 4/5 - Manteuffel Attack Tank Prime — 3/5 - Standard Inner Sphere Battle Armor Laser (A) — 3 - Karnov UR Transport ’55 (Alpha) — 4/5 - Gray Death Scout Armor Laser (A) — 4 — Leutnant Seaton Reeves Franks - Gray Death Scout Armor Laser (B) — 4 - Jump Infantry Squad Laser (A) — 4 - TBT-5J Trebuchet — 3/4 — (Great Wyrm pilot) Defenders — Ironborn - WVR-7M Wolverine — 3/4 — Captain Lorren "Black Lorren" Botley (XO) - TR1 Wraith — 4/6 — Tristifer Botley - Hawk Moth Gunship — 5/6 - Badger Tracked Transport (Alpha) — 3/4 — Sergeant Zhou - Fa Shih Battle Armor Laser — 4 — Corporal Aaron Drumm - Fa Shih Battle Armor MG — 4 Defenders — Arkab Harib Force - EXT-4C Exterminator — 3/5 — "Bastille" (lance XO) - FS9-O Primary Firestarter — 4/5 — "Toasty" (Unit XO / lance CO) - Standard Inner Sphere Battle Armor MG — 4 - Schiltron Bravo — 4/5 — Sho-sa Haji "Angus" Salaam (Unit CO / vehicle CO) - Bandit Hover Transport Alpha — 4/5 — "Smokey" / 88mike (transport XO) — vehicle taken - Standard Inner Sphere Battle Armor MG — 4 — "Blackhawk 5" (Infantry XO) ## Rewards / Salvage - None recorded (reported two enemy vehicles taken as salvage by WoB; one enemy vehicle crew KIA) ## Related Persons - Quintin Bonanno - Niobe Tan - Edilenny Exhume - Seaton Reeves Franks - Lorren "Black Lorren" Botley - Tristifer Botley - Zhou - Aaron Drumm - Sho-sa Haji "Angus" Salaam - "Bastille" - "Toasty" - "Smokey" / 88mike - "Blackhawk 5"
