## Partial Transcript from Ironborn Battle ROM Sergeant Major Charles Wynch, commanding Regulator Alpha: "Oooooof!  Great shot, Ed.  That Zephyr is toast." Sergeant Major Edward Kenning, commanding Regulator Bravo:  "Thanks, Charles, but you helped too." Wynch: "Nope, you did that all yourself with two Gauss shells.  You were the only one who hit him.  You and your crew just became the first Ironborn in our whole time on this rock to get a confirmed kill.  How does it feel?" Kenning: "I'd feel better if we didn't just lose the battle.  Look at what those fanatics did to the compound." The factory complex is completely on fire, and the main buildings have been blasted open. Kenning: "Hey, those automated turrets are starting to move again....and they're pointing toward us!" Wynch: "Sh--!  We need to get out of here quick.  Karin.  Karin, do you read?" Sergeant Karin Wynch, commanding a Partisan:  \<communications garbled\> "Uggh.  Charlie, they took out my tank." Kenning: "You lost your loner too?" C. Wynch: "Tell me where you are, Karin.  We'll pick you up.  We need to get outta here." K. Wynch: "Sending coordinates." Lieutenant JG Cornelius Alvarez, commanding Ironborn _Hollander_:  "Nice, _that's_ gonna ruin that 'Mech's day."

Alvarez: Uggggggghhhhhhh! what the--- The _Hollander's_ internal computer:  WARNING!  Water beginning to penetrate internal structure.  Compartmental collapse imminent. Alvarez: F---!!  Dammit! MOVE! He manages to pull the 'Mech out of the water and crawls backwards away from the river.  The 'Mech's windshield is covered in mud. Alvarez: Uhh.  Eww! C. Wynch: "Alvarez, are you online?" Alvarez: "Yeah, more or less." C. Wynch: "We just picked up Karin and we're on our way back.  Major Bannson has ordered a withdrawl." Alvarez: "What's the sitrep, Charles?" C. Wynch: "Bad.  The Wobbies got into the base and they've just taken it over.  We just took a _massive_ L here, guys.  The Governor's gonna be having kittens when she finds out about this.  The Colonel and Major Harlaw are gonna have our hides for this debacle." Alvarez:  "My 'Mech's leg is gimpy.  It's going to take me a bit to get up.  I'll join you once I'm able. ## Transcript Ends
