Resurgence - Guided by the Light

== Day of Hell's Breach ==
“We have successfully arrived at our staging ground and will begin assistance with preparing support and garrison activities.  Over.” Was the simple message Precentor Magnus sent over the shipboard HPG.  It would arrive back to their home systems through their relay network long before it was time for the Invasion to begin. 
He took a moment to review the map of the Inner Sphere, like he had done dozens of times before. Planet C2-1 was one of a handful of dead planets in the system, two jumps away from the first three target worlds. Warships were stationed at the Nadir and Zenith jump points as well as a couple possible pirate jump points.  He took one last look out the front of the bridge to see the final few ships jumping toward their staging areas to break into the Draconis Combine and Snow Raven territories. 
Magnus had the pleasure of driving into the Federated Suns.  With limited WMDs and direct orders not to hit HPGs with them, he would have to really know his targets.  ROM intel continued to pour in with information on newer mech designs.  One troubling aspect was the widespread use of Clan weapons.  In some areas, these weapons were superior to some of the WOB tech.  However, with the Manei Domini pilots, even the Clanners would have great difficulty. 
His console screens showed that the support garrisons were landing on the planets and there was no life; no colonials or pirates to worry about.  Soon, mineral readouts would start pouring in and production efforts would begin in constructing material and eventually, Battlemech components. Mining equipment was brought along en masse apart from an obscene tonnage of pre-built components and weapons.

“Date of Invasion is June 5, 3152.  Blake’s Light be with you.” Was the simple communique response Precentor Martial Domiclus sent to Magnus’ fleet over the HPG relay, months after their arrival.  This gave a little extra time for the HPG relay teams to get to their newly assigned positions to help coordinate as the corridors progressed.  Magnus played it across all vessels in the fleet at the time it arrived, and again this very day.
Mechwarriors were staged in their Battlemechs, Aerospace pilots in their fighters, crewmen at their shipboard weapons.  With the batteries fully charged, the fleet was going to make two jumps, together into the first periphery system, then a second to their targets.  Tangipahoa, Okefenokee, and Abbeville were the first targets.  Once charged, their second target would be Chenier where they would converge and take 24 hours to assess and regroup. 
He ran through a few last minute scenarios in his head as the bridge stood still, quiet.  He broke the silence, opening comms to all vessels, “May Blake’s Light guide us to holy Terra as it did our noble ancestors! Jump now!”
A rallying cry could be heard across the bridge on each ship and one by one, the vessels blinked away to finish what was started decades ago.
