"We are not sure exactly what happened on the ground, but we got some good surface scans until the order to run came in. We have not taken a look at them in any detail, but outside of Cuanger we identified what looked like a fortified camp of some sort. We identified what look like barracks and guard towers." Captain Bruce Uvalde, Commander 2nd Squadron 12th Star Guard, said
"But you clearly got a all clear from Comstar? We sure it was not a Clan trick of some sort?" Major William Mitchell asked
"Icar is a Clan Wolf holding now. Using deception of that sort is not Clan Wolf's way." Point Commander Trishia replied
Captain Uvalde was still very wary of the former Clan warrior, having lost the entire ground force of the 3rd Regiment, 12th Star Guard to Elementals on Icar when they overran their Dropships. "It was Comstar that gave the all clear. Precentor of Icar himself."
"Point Commander Trishia, best guess on what forces are defending Icar from Clan Wolf?" Major William Mitchell asked
"I have no way of knowing that." Point Commander Trishia replied
"I asked for a guess, I am not going to hold it against you if your wrong. Use Placida as an example where we met you." Major William Mitchell said
"Probable a Garrison Trinary, from Epsilon Galaxy. Same as our former assignment. A Star of Battlemechs, Star of Elementals and Star of Aerospace Fighters." Point Commander Trishia replied 
"I am still rusty on what that actually entails. Elaborate please." Major William Mitchell said
"Five Battlemechs, twenty-five Elementals and ten fighters." Point Commander Trishia replied
"Correct me if I am wrong, but bidding can decrease what we actually face in a fight correct?" Major Mitchell asked
"Aff, if properly bid, you can minimize the forces you would face." Point Commander Trishia replied
"And if we won, the Clan Wolf forces would hold to their word and give us what we asked for?" Major Mitchell asked
"Aff. But you would need to word the bid precisely." Point Commander Trishia replied
"That is something that you and Star Captain Branden can help me with. How about it, Captain Uvalde, your people game to try and rescue our friends?" Major William Mitchell said
"Yes, sir, if you can shorten the odds some. Those Clan weapons are not something I want to face without the odds stacked in my favor." Captain Bruce Uvalde replied.
