RED SCORPION MERCENARY FOR POWER AGENCY LTD TOP SECRET Dear Volunteer I am pleased to inform you of your selection for service in the Terran Confederation Star Commandos. The Confederation Star Commandos are a proud and elite corps with exacting requirements and superior combat skills. You must understand that failure of a mission will not be tolerated - and this fact cannot be emphasized enough. I must say I am impressed with your track record. The Commanding Officer of Tutmos III had a lot of praise for your dedication and stamina while posted as an instructor at the Mobile Organic Sanitation Unit. Your first combat tour of duty is the Bombyx Moons. These are a large number of small planetoids in the 97th Quadrant. They lie exactly between the Terran Confederation and our galactic superpower rival, The Necron Empire. The Bombyx are rather a primitive people -they program their computers!!! In fact no-one would even give them a second glance but for the fact that the moons are virtually pure Talanite. The evil Necrons are intent on dominating the Bombyx. They are literally "stealing" the Bombyx's Talanite in exchange for worthless trash. I personally would describe it as an inter- planetary rip-off!!! We, on the other hand, are going to bring the Bombyx all the benefits of Terran Civilisation - pulpburgers, synthocola -you know, that sort of thing - in exchange for a few Talanite crystals (40 Gigatonnes per oscillation). I have enclosed copies of full details of the mission and a description of the equipment ---------------------------- which will be issued to you. This equipment (The Multi-Role Infantry Combat Capsule) has only just been released by the "boffins". It is, therefore, imperative that you read and inwardly digest the information concerning its operation. Mission Details: The Assault Carrier "Coral Sea" and the Battle Cruiser "Zhukov" are to proceed to the Bombyx Moons. Star Commandos will be dropped onto the surface of the Moons. Their mission is to eliminate Necrons and all Bombyx military and communication installations and personnel. In addition, all structures connected with the mining or utilisation of Talanite are to be destroyed. Bombyx civilians and their homes are to be unharmed. Any commando disobeying the rules of engagement will be punished. (It must be remembered we are here to liberate these people.) Equipment Details: MURICC: The Multi-Role Infantry Combat Capsule or Death Scorpion MkIV is the most powerful infantry weapon developed so far. The commando has a CAV (Combat Action Visor) through which he views the combat area. Information is flashed up around the visor through the HUDWAS (Head Up Display Weapon Aiming System). This means the commando never has to look down at the vehicle's controls. Vision through the CAV is aided by AVS (Augmented Vision System). AVS: The commando can select from 4 modes of the electromagnetic spectrum. Natural light is basically equivalent to human vision. Microwave can be used to see through camouflage or ------------------------- detect underground installations. Infra Red detects fast moving objects and Talanite is sensitive to Ultra Violet. Weapons: The Death Scorpion is equipped with a Tomatak particle cannon capable of destroying most mobile or small soft targets. Please note after repeated fire the cannon gets hot and its effect weakens. It will be necessary to close the target or allow the cannon barrels to cool. Armour Piercing (AP) missiles are available for hard o
