K2 Karnov cargo bay destroyed!
K2 Karnov flight crew killed!
K2 Karnov spirals out of control, crashes into hex 0704
K3 Stolen Karnov deploys Scout Snipers into hex 0709
The loud drone of the Karnovs engines filled Trooper Lis ears, drowning out all noise except his own imagined heartbeat. Li was terrified, as a criminal conscript of the Capellan Militia, hed been issued a simple bolt-action rifle and herded into the transport to go face off against Mercenary battlemechs. He was sixteen, it was his first time in combat and, as a convicted criminal, he expected itd be his last.
In short, he was terrified.
Nonetheless, Li was remarkably calm when the engines of the Karnov in which his conscript platoon was flying exploded. The craft shuddered beneath him as, without thrust, the blocky design lost nearly all lift. He closed his eyes and felt a profound feeling of weightlessness even as the other members of his platoon broke into a terrified panic.

Yeee-oooow! A man shouted overboth the Capellans and the Caballeros could hear the wide-band broadcast. You are now enjoying fireworks courtesy of the Supreme Radio Station: KATN, Several other voices raised in the background, Kick-ass, and take names! The other voices died down, Get ready to pay the piper you Capellan pigs, 'cause payback's a-comin' courtesy of the 17th Recon Regement!
