'''Winfield:''' …wish I could tell you even who it is we fight. We only know that it is a new enemy, this [[Clan Jade Falcon]], and part of a much larger whole. A new enemy fighting with new tactics, new technology, and an embrace of warfare the likes of which the Inner Sphere has not known for centuries. We have been handed a defeat on [[Winfield (LC)|Winfield]], yes, but one battle is not the whole war. We expected – we hoped – to find safe haven on Butler, but this world, too, has come under attack by Jade Falcon forces. The front for this invasion is far wider than we believed. But the forces of Butler are fighting back, and we will join the fight. With our combined forces, we will drive the Clan back! This war has only just begun! Prepare for landing! Prepare for war!

'''Beckman:''' Commander, since Hammer Lance has been destroyed, you are authorized to re-organize and re-arm your unit as you are able. You will be given access to the regimental quartermaster; but we are currently low on supplies. You will have to make do for the time being.

'''Holloway:''' We're landing near the city of New Glasgow. You'll have to clear the area of enemy recon units to establish a beachhead, and make contact with our local forces, if possible.

'''Holloway:''' Understood, Camp Northrop. Commander, the camp has a mobile repair vehicle. It could come in helpful. See what you can do for them. But remember, protecting our landing zone is the top priority.

'''Northrop:''' Only that they have a mighty high opinion of themselves. They look at us like bugs to be stepped on. But their best warriors, you can use that against them. Sometimes you can provoke them into single combat. It's all very formal, but we've bought ourselves some time doing that.
