===The Walls are Breached===

March 25th, 30310535 Dieron Standard TimeLt. Col. Matthew Chapman's perspective in his Atlas''''
The sun was rising behind the base in the east. Matthew looked out at the battlefield to the west and could see the enemy moving up using the discarded carcasses of mechs scattered throughout the battlefield. Matthew notified everyone that an attack would happen within 30 minutes he then called the medical ward.
“How is my brother doing, doctor?”
((“We got out of surgery about thirty minutes ago, he lost a leg and a arm but the prosthetics are holding and grafting nicely. He will have to learn to reuse them of course, but he will continue to be a mech jock.”))
<<“Matthew, the enemy has breached the base, Seth, and I are engaging please assist.”>>

====Price of Victory====
The 12th Dieron Regulars with patched up mechs from the 2nd and 3rd Battalions and the fresh 1st Battalion rushed the gate all 64 mechs and initially over ran the few lances that were there, but about 60 meters in the rest of the Federation mechs moved in. Ninety-eight mechs that had no damage had not fired a single shot met the Dieron Regulars. Tai-sa Storesund was shocked by how wrong the intel was, they had showed maybe a Battalion worth of mechs, but there was a regiment if not more. With a look of horror, he saw the precision of the enemy working against his unit slowly pushing them toward the gate. He opened his net to call a retreat and got nothing but an high squeal of static, jamming the signal he knew most was lost he tried to signal the warriors around him to retreat some got the message and started to run. It was the last thing he did as four sets of LRM volleys hit him. Eighty missiles in total majority hit the mark and he was dead. At the end of the failed push Thirty Dieron Regular mechs made it back to the camp. MechWarriors for a few hours still trickling in with stories of the Federation just letting them go not wanting to have any prisoners. 
Chu-sa Zasedatelev who was second in command of the 3rd Battalion was now the default commander of what was left of the Regiment. Regiment he thought to himself what a joke, as he looked down at his bandaged arm. They could not even field three companies let alone three battalions. Zasedatelev walked thru the camp when he eyed movement in the trees over by the mountains, he took of his radio from the belt to call it in when he saw the first lance of tanks and the colors of the 12th. The rest of the unit was here Tai-shu Kurita is going to be very upset that his one hundred and twenty mech regiment is down to thirty 'mechs. With the rest of the unit showing up the 12th was now up to forty-two mechs hundred twenty-three armor and hundred twenty-four infantry.

====Stand Off====

March 27th, 30310930 Dieron Standard TimeLt. Col. Matthew Chapman's perspective in his Atlas''''
It's been two days since the rest of the enemy arrived at their base camp on the edge of the tree line. They had set up jammers that overridden all the Federation signals effectively isolating the units. All the Federation fighters or he thought what was left were grounded until he could figure out how to take out the AA guns sitting half a klick from the airfield. Food and water were still not an issue but if this siege goes on any longer rationing may have to start. Without comms Matthew and his siblings had no idea where their father was in advancing the mighty war machine of the command regiment or if their mercenary friends would arrive. Time was on their side or was it? Matthew just shook his head and sighed.

“Hi! I am Nessa Ford and I am reporting from the renown flagship of the Federation navy here at a Zenith station at an undisclosed location. Fleet Captain Wade MacBeth has granted this news network are rare glimpses into the bridge of the most advance warship in the Inner Sphere.”
She turns to the left and the camera followed her action then moved to her gaze. The camera focused on the man that was in full navy uniform. Crisp, clean and very white. Which in fact did not match with the Captain’s face, if you looked back into the history of mankind and view a warrior from the Denmark region in the dark age period you would find a similar look as Captain MacBeth. Tall, bald, but a long beard the tips of the beard was just past his muscular chest.
“Captain, thank you for allowing an inside look into the operations of this mighty ship.”
“No problem at all, Nessa specially when General Chapman approved it.” The captain gave a quick awkward smile that spoke volumes in how he really felt.
“So, Captain, can you tell us anything about the current mission?”
The captain looked at the reporter and said. “We are here on station at the Zenith Charging Station waiting for one of our allies and a reinforcement fleet from the Federation to jump in system. We will then escort the Mercenary group to the planet while the 5th Wing of the 2nd Fleet will remain on station here to protect the shipping lanes from the enemy.”“Captain, can you tell us what mercenary organization is coming.”
“They are late, you should find out any moment. Radar, any sign of enemy or friendly out there?”“No, wait fleet emergence right now.”
The fleet popped into existence the film crew was still recording and what they saw was impressive. Nine all black warships which included two destroyers, six frigates and one battleship. The mercenary group was just impressive, Battlecruiser and a Destroyer with the symbol of the Wolf’s Dragoons.

Today, a reporter from FNN was on the bridge of their flagship when a small flight emerged and indicated that the Wolf’s Dragons are in cahoots with the Freedom Federation armed forces.

Voice of the Dragon (VoTD)
Today we have more proof of the treachery of the Wolf’s Dragoons and the illegitimate government called Freedom Federation. A reporter from the above-mentioned illegal government took video of a Wolf’s Dragoons fleet meeting up with one of the illegal government’s warships. This brave reporter snuck the video out from the oppressive government to show the universe the evils of other nations.
