It was supposed to be a routine outing; get the new guys accustomed to their gear and scope out the lay of the land. IE sent you here to help straighten out the local yokels so they don’t go shooting cattle if a raid ever does make it to the heart of the Davion empire. When you heard the brief chatter on the military band, you knew your command needed to get the sheep back, but you wanted to stick around to see if you could help. Anything that wiped out Avalon City’s comm grid was big enough to need it.

Those blasted cadets should’ve known better, floundering around out there without proper ID codes. Mistaking your cargo carriers for terrorist bombs might be understandable. If your homeworld had been surprised like the Feddies were, you’d have been ready to shoot the mail carrier, too. You’re just glad you didn’t kill the whole lot of them, not with all those DropShip drive flares appearing in the dawn sky.

To all Parties listed in Misconduct Case #T199-2

Regarding the incident between members of the Second NAIS Cadre, the mercenary unit known as the Flaming Devil Monkeys (hereafter FDM), and Micron security personnel on 5 December 3067, it is the finding of this review board that the Second NAIS Cadre is at fault because of its decision to engage the other units without proper verification of identities. Surviving individuals involved in the incident report that they thought the other parties were members of the Word of Blake attack force in orbit at the time. However, the correct protocol at that point would have been to report their suspicions to HQ and await further orders. Instead, the cadets launched a misguided and wasteful assault without proper intelligence. The surviving members of the units have all received an official reprimand and a notation in their dossier, but in light of their service in defense of New Avalon over the last several years, any further disciplinary measures are, in the view of this panel, unnecessary.

While we find no fault on the part of the FDM in their response to the attack by the Second NAIS cadre, this panel does strongly object to their handling of the post-combat situation. Rather than wait for the issue to be sorted out, the FDM simply claimed several NAIS mechs as salvage and left the planet. FDM commander Taharqa Bane sent a brief message to NAIS HQ saying “Sorry about the mix-up. We will just take some of your units as compensation. No hard feelings, and good luck with the Robes.” This panel finds that such conduct is grossly unprofessional and has forwarded our complaint to the Mercenary Review and Bonding Commission. In light of the salvage taken by the FDM, it is the finding of this panel that no further compensation to the FDM is warranted.

Sincerely,

Ad-Hoc NAIS Review Board

While training Micron security forces, several Monkey units led by Ishmael Mohammed were forced to defend themselves against some jumpy cadets from the Second NAIS cadre, just as the Wobbies hit New Avalon.

After-Action Report

The Monkeys downed several of the cadet’s mechs before they were able to get a cease-fire called in. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured in the incident.
