Mech Warrior 2: Ghost Bear Legacy - Episode 6 - Defying Orders on Walcot

The Kodiak Prime roars to life under my command, its massive frame brimming with the pride and power of Clan Ghost Bear. This is no ordinary mission. We've pinpointed General Ano Rentoshi on planet Walcot, his towering Hatamoto-Chi mech looming as a direct threat. My orders are clear: disable, disarm, and render him defenseless for interrogation. But beneath those orders lies the expectation of destruction, a path that defies the spirit of our mission.
I can’t follow blindly. Rentoshi’s knowledge could shift the tides in our favor, but only if I can take him down without obliterating the intel he carries. So, I make a bold choice-the Kodiak Prime, Ghost Bear’s pride and joy, a hulking behemoth built for dominance. Armed with 8 Medium Lasers, 1 Large Laser, 2 Streak SRMs, and the devastating Ultra AC 20, this machine is a force to be reckoned with, an apex predator in the war-ravaged plains of Walcot.
The mission starts quietly. Walcot’s desolate terrain stretches out before me, littered with the remains of old battles, a reminder of the price of failure. My sensors beep with intermittent blips, and flashes of enemy mechs patrolling their zones, but my sights are set on Rentoshi. His Hatamoto-Chi stands somewhere in the distance, hidden behind the planet’s dusty hills, waiting for me to make the first move.
The Kodiak tears through enemy patrols with ease, its lasers slicing through armor, its SRMs finding their mark. But every step toward Rentoshi is a step further from my commanding officer’s direct orders. The mission brief is clear, but I know that simply following orders won’t bring us the intelligence we need. There’s something bigger at stake here, something that can’t be won by brute force alone.
Finally, I reached Rentoshi. His Hatamoto-Chi towers before me, a monolith of Clan Nova Cat’s engineering. The moment of truth is here. Instead of following orders to destroy, I take matters into my own hands. With precision strikes, I aim to cripple, to disable. But as I close in for the final blow, the command comes through-the order to finish him off, to annihilate any trace of Rentoshi and his mech.
Now, I stand on the edge of rebellion, defying my orders to achieve greater victory. What happens next is a turning point for me and Clan Ghost Bear. Will my insubordination be our salvation or the beginning of the end? Find out in this pivotal episode of Mech Warrior 2: Ghost Bear Legacy.
