Mission 230: 3 Skull Battle ____
Employer: Chandrasekhar Kurita ____
Target: Jinxie and the Banshees ____
Biome: Urban
Lance: Ghost (Merch), Macross (Shadow), Valkyrie (Medusa), Pulsehammer (Nimbus)
Report: As our lance keeps an eye out for trouble, we begin hearing music on all frequencies throughout the area. Mechs begin powering up near the source of the transmission, and then Jinxie announces herself. Apparently she and the Banshees are here, and are looking to settle a score. As Merch rounds the corner, his report makes everyone take notice. "Not just Jinxie and the Banshees, but the 95 ton Banshees!" 4x BNC-UNK! He decides not to fire and lose his stealth protection, and the rest of the lance maneuvers to get into a better position. A large pool of liquid fills several city blocks, and everyone but Merch jumps into it as they open fire, taking full advantage of the extra cooling. Jinxie goes down first, but the rest of her band is still quite dangerous, penetrating armor and wrenching actuators whenever they land a hit with their AC/20s. Shadow mis-aims a salvo and carelessly finds himself in melee with Billie, who smashes through the upper right half of Macross, sending wrecked lostech scattering across downtown. He does manage to stay upright, and jumps away to finish destroying Jamming with a back shot. Zombie is destroyed by a combination of rear shots from Pulsehammer and Valkyrie. Billie is the last to go down, and does so in a spectacular explosion of their MASC components.
Damage: Shadow injured 12 days. Macross,
RT and RA destroyed. Pulsehammer, LT reduced to 60% structure, Double Heat Sink destroyed.

____Bob thanks us for our help, and looks forward to working with us in the future when it comes to acquiring lostech. The 95 ton Banshees clearly had some advanced equipment, and it seems as though they actually are a front organization for a major power. As the conversation and speculation dies down, Yang gives me the bad news about repairing Macross. It'll take about a month, but we do have replacement parts for everything, although the TAG will be less effective than the one that was lost. Out of all the places in the periphery to spend a month of downtime, at least we picked a good spot.
