Ahhhh, you must be my previous Merc's replacement...  What!! You're back.  I can hardly believe it.  What will it take...   Quite impressive Merc, I am beginning to fear that there is nothing that can stop you.  Please don't take my distraction at your return personally; I do find your metabolism most distasteful but understand that I must continue to serve you faithfully.

Well, during your destruction of the Lair the human forces launched a major assault against the Scorpiobots, confident that they were distracted by your presence.  They managed to eliminate all but a few who escaped across terrain the human equipment was unable to navigate.  

In the ruins of the Lair the Protector's forces found a Raptor which they are giving you to honor your bravery.  I guess you have earned it.

Now you'll have to move quickly to complete the defense of the Rimmon Staging Base.  The enemy Scouts are getting closer and you  are needed to eliminate them.~
