Overview:
To compete in the 90-ton category Merchant Factor Angus Labov went back to Clan Diamond Shark's most iconic product in the assault-class. Over 1,500 Highlander IIC assault 'Mechs had been been produced as upgraded SLDF chassis or as new construction, with hundreds still in service.

In addition to returning production to the original factory on Arcadia, the Diamond Sharks are also planning to steal a page from Inner Sphere strategists and construct 'conversion kits' that can be shipped to every Clan to convert existing Highlanders into the Clansman.

Capabilities:
Although Clan Nova Cats' new RFUM reactor was considered, ultimately the Diamond Sharks made a deal with Clan Hells Horses - also currently not heavily committed to production for Quicksilver to use their proven Light Force reactor - as used on the Incubus light 'Mech.

The original Highlander was very well armoured, designers pared its protection back on the recommendation of Khan Ian Hawker, to maximise the tonnage available for armament. The result was fifty full tons of pod-space was opened up. This does have a negative effect sometimes with Mechwarriors assuming the Clansman is as durable as its forebear. This simply isn't the case and in particular, the legs may buckle if over-strained in a 'Highlander burial' attack.

The Clansman Prime draws heavily from the original Highlander with a Gauss Rifle and LRM racks for long range, alternating with SRMs and Medium Lasers for close range combat. However, the Clansman significantly upgrades the missiles in both cases, firing up to fifty LRMs or sixteen Streak SRMs.

The most common alternate configuration fits a Gauss Rifle in each arm and pairs them with ER PPCs for a formidable long range barrage. The only supporting weapon fitted is a Streak SRM rack in the chest.

The Clansman B is configured for mixed circumstances - the LRMs provide excellent long range bombardment capability but the active probe and ability to pivot the pair of autocannon in all directions make it surprisingly effective in close quarters such as mountains and urban terrain.

100 Ton Mech

Menoetius

he AS7-D-H Atlas II Occupies an oddball history within the Clans.  Like the Orion the Atlas II is a chosen Battlemech of a Kerensky, however unlike the Orion, the Atlas II had never been upgraded to Clan Specifications.  it is especially odd that out of the several dozen Atlas IIs that are in storage in Clan Space, the ones that are activated and seen combat are almost never modified outside their original Star League Configuration.

Clan Coyote sought to alter that history in a big way when the opened up Brian Cache number 3715 and unearthed a full Star of Atlas IIs formally in possession of an extinct Clan.  After a complete engineering overhaul that included upgrading the armor to Clan Ferro Fibrous standard and replacing the entire cooling system of the Vlar 300 Series. it was determined that little to no structural changes needed to be made to the basic frame, thanks to the semi modular weaponry already used by the base frame.  Weapon mountings and software upgrades made the Atlas II an Omnimech.  Despite the political capital that might have been made with keeping the Atlas Moniker, Coyote Scientists felt that renaming the mech would have been a better sell for many clans who still considered the Atlas II a sacred or prestigious piece of equipment.  Feeling that Prometheus would bring dishonor to the project after it was revealed that Victor Steiner Davion named his Dire Wolf as such, Menoetius was chosen instead

Each configuration of the Menoetius reflects a specific battle field Niche.  The Primary  configuration reflects the classic Atlas II and is designed for all aspect fighting.  the Dual Purpose Autocannon of the Atlas II is replaced with a Rapdi fire model for more crippling firepower and the large lasers are made clan spec pulse models.  most importantly is that an ECM and active probe are added to the Prime to enhance the command utility of the mech in defensive fighting.

Alternate Configuration A is a close range destroyer, with twin Assault grade autocannons and deep ammunition bins.  a battery of six medium pulse lasers provides backup firepower particularly with two lasers facing rear.

Designed for direct fire support from a relatively fixed position the B uses a quartet of ER Large lasers for the bulk of it's weaponry.  twin LRM 15 racks with six tons of ammunition permit the B to cool while keeping up the pressure, and use alternate munitions to create a more favorable battlefield.

Alternate Configuration C is a recreating of the Coyote's Favored Imp C  with targeted assited energy weapons and a LRM rack to add pressure at range.  Alternate D likewise is a recreation of the Shogun, and provides accurate LRM support with additional close range punch and extra mobility in tight quarters.  Finally Alternate C is a take on the classic Annihilator, while the realities of podspace prohibited the backup energy weapons most are used to seeing witht he Annihilator, four dual purpose cannons is still a nightmare to the ill prepared.

Perhaps as a grand political coups, Clan Coyote Scientists and Warriors presented this mech in the grandest way possible, with all five mechs being marched out to the Katushya battlegrounds in each configuration, demonstrating thier various skills, and then techs rallying forth to demonstrate their Omnimech nature by setting a Speed Record for Omnimech re configuring, placing each mech in it's primary configuration and then giving a Star League salute.  it was announced that construction of the Menoetius could begin in 9 months using the WC#2 Facility on Strana Mechty

OVERVIEW
Already in production and popular among several Clans, the Fire Moth is considered unsuitable for combat with the heavier OmniMechs that dominate the Trials fought in the Kerensky Cluster, and losses have been heavy to the Mechanized Infantry (conventional and Battlearmor) and armored vehicles that accompany Inner Sphere forces despite being primarily used to deliver Elementals to the battlefield.

As interest and enthusiasm for the IlKhan’s Quicksilver Trials began to make inroads among the Ghost Bear Warrior Caste, the products of those same Trials began to inflict growing losses in Trials across the Kerensky Cluster.  While still an effective method of delivering Elementals, saKhan Aletha Kabrinski challenged Scientists and Warriors to update and improve its performance in the Cluster and against the forces of the Inner Sphere, attracting both allies and foes from a cross-section of the Clans, in essence widening the Quicksilver Trials across the existing ‘Mechs of the Touman.
Clan Steel Viper was a surprise addition to the project, bidding several Stars of Solahma infantry to obtain access to the data being gathered by the Ghost Bears, although several Clans (both allied and opposing) have taken note of the Fire Moth’s new configurations after field tests confirmed their effectiveness.

CAPABILITIES
One of the fastest OmniMechs built by the Clans, the Fire Moth can easily outpace most Inner Sphere ‘Mechs and vehicles before using its efficiently-designed Configurations to complete its mission, whether defeating the opponent or delivering Elementals to the battlefield.  During the course of the project nearly every Configuration was changed in some way, in most cases at the urging of Solahma Warriors reflecting experience gained over decades in active service both at the controls and fighting against it.
The Prime, with its heavy SRM battery and ammo-independent ER Medium Lasers that allowed it to remain in the field indefinitely won praise from all involved, but Merchants consulted during testing advised replacing the SRM-6 with a second SRM-4 to make ammo resupply in the field easier. Moving it into the Left Torso with another ton of ammunition increased mission endurance substantially, while one of the ER Medium Lasers was moved to the Left Arm where it providing the greatest field of fire. The remaining tonnage was used to add an ER Small Laser to the right arm, compensating for the loss of damage potential at close range.  Proving itself in Trials on Niles, the Hell’s Horses have begun to adopt several of the new configurations as part of their own aggressive Battlearmor tactics.

Considered a mediocre scout, Warriors assigned to Alternate Configuration A frequently found themselves unable to defend themselves effectively when detected, leading Warriors with experience from Operation Revival and the growing use of Fire Moths for high-speed recon to locate guerrillas and ambushes to suggest a radical change.  Retaining the Active Probe and TAG while adding a versatile ECM Suite to assist in the scouting role, the new Configuration is optimized to engage the multiple ‘soft’ targets frequently encountered in ambushes with the substitution of Flamers and Machine Guns.

Closely related to the ‘A’ Configuration, Alternate Configuration B reduces the electronics in favor of an anti-infantry specialist oriented to eliminating enemy Battlearmor and Light vehicles while remaining ammunition free with the exception of a pair of Machine Guns sharing a half-ton of ammunition.  Moving both Medium Pulse Lasers to the arms with ER Small Lasers mounting below (mimicking the Primary Configuration of the Timber Wolf), a third ER Small is mounted in the Left Torso. Split between the two side torsos, ammunition from the right torso feeds both Machine Guns.
Despite the ammo endurance of Alternate Configuration C, the Fire Moth frequently found itself unable to match that endurance with only two tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor across the ‘Mech.  Tested against the Svantovit and Shamash who reach comparable speeds, the Bears elected to rely on the accuracy provided by the Artemis IV system mated with a LRM-15 mounted in the Right Torso to allow the Fire Moth to support friendly units at long range before returning to re-supply before the armor protection is breached, reducing losses and providing a significantly larger impact on the battlefield when available.

Favored as a skirmisher and in augmented Trials by Warriors, Alternate Configuration D remained untouched. Despite heat concerns its five Extended Range Medium Lasers tied to a Targeting Computer along with a Flamer provide superior mid-range offense for this ultra-fast Light OmniMech.

Taking note of the Inner Sphere designs favoring a large, single weapon designed as an ultra-mobile fire support platform, Alternate Configuration E uses an ER Large Laser mounted in the Left Arm with the added accuracy provided by a Targeting Computer to engage effectively at range. An ECM suite makes the Fire Moth a more difficult target, while the remaining tonnage is allocated to the E’s single defensive weapon, an ER Small in the right arm that receives the same benefits.  Embraced by the Scorpions, Hellions, and Spirits, the new Configuration’s mix of firepower and mobility make it a threat that cannot be ignored.

Choosing to replace the entire Configuration with the new B, Steel Viper Warriors assigned to the project suggested a radical combination of specialty ammunition for special circumstances to be utilized by three standard SRM-6s.  The F is equipped with two tons of ammunition, maximizing flexibility while limiting potentially crippling ammunition explosions.
Another Configuration hoping to make the Fire Moth an effective combatant by limiting exposure to the enemy, the G features a single offensive weapon, either an ER PPC (or Large Pulse Laser depending on circumstances). 

The defensive ER Small Laser also seen on the E is retained to provide a backup weapon in case of damage or Elemental attack.  Proposed by Star Commander Bjarni of the Ghost Bear contingent re-assigned from the InnerSphere, the G is anticipated to be a popular choice for Trials among Light ‘Mech pilots, especially the Hellions.
Seeking to maximize the ability of the Fire Moth to deliver Elementals through difficult terrain, the G carries an unprecedented ten Jump Jets to cross 300 meters at a time, but relies on a single ER Small Laser to defend itself.  Concerned with the potential of losing this variant, an Active Probe was used to assist in the detection of hidden units.  Anticipated to be restricted to Solahma Warriors, the –J is expected to be used only in unusual circumstances.

   Seeking to match the Fire Moth’s immense speed with the maximum short-range firepower and accuracy, the K mimics the layout of the popular Nova OmniMech to deliver a stunning blow with the assistance of the Targeting Computer mounted in the Right Torso. Ten ER Small Lasers across the Arms and Torsos are accompanied by a single A-Pod to defend against conventional infantry at close range. Suggested by Warriors assigned to the project from the Goliath Scorpions, the remaining Clans are considering using the K to replace the D in Trials where skirmishing is expected.

DEPLOYMENT

Having successfully proved the viability of the Fire Moth amongst the six Clans who favored deploying it in a combat role, the outcome of the spate of Trials has caused several others to reconsider their former reluctance to consider it for Front-Line service, at least in the Inner Sphere.  The Smoke Jaguars, hoping to limit the disruption to Front-Line Clusters faced with civil disobedience have deployed the Fire Moth (particularly the –A Configuration) to Solahma Warriors, leading to a surprising number of upsets in Trials of Grievance by Warriors allowed to use standard Configurations.
   As Clans such as he Bears and Horses continue to use the Fire Moth’s high ground (and now Jump) mobility to aggressively deploy Elementals. Cloud Cobra which has embraced the ‘ParaJump’ maneuvers have also taken note of how the highly agile J Configuration can enhance their own operations. Other Clans such as the Ice Hellions, Coyotes, and Steel Vipers prefer using several of the most aggressive skirmishing or assault Configurations in roles similar to the old ‘Headhunter’ ‘Mechs of the Star League, penetrating deeply into enemy-held territory to strike with lightning speed either with the support of an Elemental Point or alone.

   With the exception of Blood Sprit and Fire Mandrill all the rest of the Clans also utilize the Fire Moth but prefer other twenty-ton designs. Burrock, Diamond Shark, Jade Falcon, Nova Cat, Smoke Jaguar, Steel Viper, and Wolf tend to operate this tiny speed demon infrequently but in traditional ways. While Snow Raven and Star Adder in particular make more extensive use of this light war machine often reserving it for scouting roles rather than dedicated combat duty.

Adder/Puma

Despite being designed prior to Operation REVIVAL as an OPFOR (OPposing FORce) Mech and one that would counter the most common Inner Sphere Mechs, the numerous Medium class machines that were still in service to the Successor States, the Adder had flaws that the Scientists working on the Quicksilver program turned their attention to.  Both Clan Wolf and Jade Falcon supported this programme fully. They had the most experience of using the Adder in its 'natural' environment, that of fighting the Inner Sphere powers and offered much useful insight despite the two Clans ongoing rivalry.  Heat concerns, strange weapon choices and a lack of speed were all noticable concerns as the Adder often found itself unable to disengage once an opponent closed the distance due to its barely above average speed.

A – Warriors expressed their approval of the standard A version although the biggest criticism came from its choice of secondary armament.  With a flamer for anti-infantry work the paired small pulse lasers were felt to be superfluous, and too short ranged to deter any Mech that might engage.  These were removed and replaced with a quartet of ER Small lasers.  This improved the Mech’s bite at shorter ranges and gave the Warriors a weapon with a greater range to deter an attacker, or to finish off a weakened opponent damaged by the missile barrages.  Initially the installation of Artemis IV fire control for the launchers was considered but Warriors all insisted on having a weapon they could use if their ammo bins ran dry.

B - Another creation of the Adder, this new B configuration uses an upgunned version of the LB-X autocannon. To make room for the heavier weapon the large pulse removed and replaced a medium pulse laser. The two ER medium lasers werer etained but are now mounted in the right arm. This gives the new configuration greater stopping power while sacrificing a bit of range. This was deemed acceptable by the Adder team.

C - The Adder A was had tremendous bite in the fire support role, but was felt to  be wasteful of ammunition given that many missiles tend to miss even if the salvo is overall on target. Therefore the Diamond Sharks elected to draw more from the Adder C in providing the Star Adders with a new missile boat configuration, demonstrating that the more accurate missiles would deliver the
very nearly as much damage to targets even with smaller salvos. Switching the lasers out for extended range medium lasers gives something to fall back on if ammunition runs out, although with twenty salvos per launcher this isn't especially common and often Mechwarriors use one or both lasers to supplement the missiles.

D - The Adder D was offered as a dedicated in-fighter. The ComGuards had learned from observing the earlier waves of the invasion that drawing the Clans into point-blank ranges. The Diamond Sharks devised the D to turn this back against anyone attempting this in the future. In keeping with the Adder tradition, the light 'Mech is agile and can hit well above its weight and is optimised for close range engagements in tight quarters - something warriors recalled from the Merchant Caste refer to as 'aggressive negotiations'.

E - The standard Adder Prime was a fearsome combatant, its ER PPCs offered tremendous hitting power for a Mech its size, allowing it to gun down hostile Inner Sphere Light and Medium Mech's with ease whilst also being a significant threat to Heavy and even Assault class units.  This punch had its drawbacks though.  Firing both ER PPC's caused massive heat spikes, which were only made worse when the Mech moved.  Firing both cannons often meant that the Mech could not safely fire for a full 30 seconds. Even firing a single cannon during this cooling phase risked an even worse heat spike.  This often meant that the second particle cannon acted as a 'reserve' weapon as a Warrior could not really fire both cannons without badly affecting his or her Mech's performance and risking a shut down. 
The heavy and irregular heat surges also had a negative effect on the Adder's cooling system, leading to its coolant fluids needing to be replaced twice as often compared to other Mech's.  With this firmly in mind the Falcons and Wolves both designed a sniper that, to quote one Warrior "Would not allow you to cook a steak on its hull if you fired its weapons." 

The obvious choice was replacing the paired particle cannons with a pair of ER lasers.  Whilst the lasers lack the punch of the cannons, they have a greater range and a lesser heat burden, as well as saving a considerable amount of tonnage to allow the installation of an extra four tons of heat sinks.

The lighter lasers also reduced the weight of the targeting computer that was retained from the Prime, and additional weapons were added if the Mech found itself in close quarter, with a single ER Small laser being mounted coaxially alongside the ER large laser in each arm.  Finally, an ECM system was installed.  This was viewed as a useful defensive measure and could fool hostile targeting computers whilst allowing the Mech to engage from long range.

F - While most of the Inner Sphere could not match the high speeds of the Clan's advanced machines, the ComGuards had access to Hermes and Hussar light 'Mechs which relied upon their speed to scout out Clan lines of advance and skirmish with them. While classic Adder Prime has more than enough firepower to deal with such units when they scored hits, sustained fire wasn't practical and accuracy was less than impressive. The Diamond Sharks argued in favor of using Large Pulse Lasers, which made the firepower readily sustainable even when the Adder is moving, and greatly increased the chances of hitting. Clan Star Adder has found this configuration useful against Ice Hellion's flurry tactics.

G – It was felt that a second missile heavy variant of the Adder was not needed and that the installation of a NARC launcher was detrimental to the design as it made the Mech close to use it, with the NARC in turn acting more as a deterrent than a useful weapon system.  Instead the Scientists just replicated the Kit Fox A’s config but on a considerably sturdier hull.  The combination of a Gauss rifle with 2 tons of ammo and a pair of ER Medium lasers gave the Mech a respectable punch and adequate endurance.  But now it was mounted on a chassis that could at least take some return fire unlike the woefully fragile Kit Fox.

Pouncer

The new Khan of the Coyotes had cleverly reactivated the Coyotl and pressed the old machine back into service. Winning his high office with one clearly signaled its return to the battlefield despite some stigma attached by those who considered it a Solhoma OmniMech. Faster and more heavily armored the Coyotl lacked the inherent mobility of the Pouncer but matched its pod space exactly. Despite a spirited competition from Coyotl age caught up with many of the machines which suffered breakdowns that the younger Pouncer simply outmatched. Coyote made out in the end by offering to assist its old ally in refining the design which it adopted as it preferred 40 ton design.

Delta Galaxy Commander Ward began assigning a mobile trinary to each of his clusters and assembled a new unit, the 9th Wolf Guards (building on an error in the Wolf Clan SB), around the Pouncer. Piloted by Crusader Supremacists convinced of the inherent superiority of their Clan these eager fanatics fearlessly challenge all would be comers.  The Wolves new allies, the Star Adder, also agreed to help develop the Pouncer as their preferred Mech based on its Adder legacy. The Smoke Jaguars who looked at the Pouncer as an exemplar of their totem animal were determined to take the design by force. Winning a share of production also exacted a measure of vengeance for Quicksilver and Ulric’s continuing Warden tyranny over the Clans.
 
Utilizing their mercantile contacts Diamond Shark and Nova Cat who do not use the Viper (Dragonfly) made several deals to go almost exclusively to the Pouncer as their 40 ton OmniMech after engaging in cursory combat. Also studying this OmniMech for potential uses are the Burrocks (looking to bulk up its medium forces, ties to Star Adder), Goliath Scorpion (ties to 4th Striker Cluster), and Cloud Cobra (moving to a more mobile doctrine, Para Clusters, ties to Star Adder).

A - The Pouncer Alpha is less compromising than it's Clan Wolf counterpart: scaling back the lasers that serve as a secondary armament to only a pair of small lasers to fit a third LRM rack and another ton of ammunition. This configuration was deployed the Jaguars to engage Tai-i Kaburagi's captured Pouncer Primary, with Warrior Enjou using his mobility to avoid direct hits from the extended range PPCs, able to maintain a full rate of fire back while Kaburagi was forced to mitigate his rate of fire to avoid a shutdown as his captured OmniMech overheated.

B - Since their Prime fills the paired large laser role of the Pouncer B, the Jaguars instead focused on expanding the SRM racks and the Beta's eighteen Streak SRMs are a formidable anti-vehicle punch, but the true nightmare is eleven small lasers that can tear through the armour of even heavy 'Mechs at close range. Smoke Jaguar warriors enjoy using the terrain to close in and unleash them on the rear of heavier Wolf and Nova Cat 'Mechs to great effect.

D - In Delta-configuration the Pouncer mixes an accurate LRM rack with a quintet of medium lasers tied into a targeting computer. With additional heatsinks so it can jump and use the lasers, the Pouncer is excellent for city fighting and swapping out one laser for the LRMs gives it long-range punch.

E - Mariska of the Conners Bloodhouse believes in hitting the enemy hard and fast and that is why she replace Ultra 10 of the C configuration of the Pouncer with a Gauss Rifle. It is fed by a two-ton ammo bay (a lesson learned from the Tukayyid battleroms) and backed by ER  medium and ER small lasers.

F - This variation on the Prime was used by Keiji Perez in his Bloodname Trial following the defeat of the Clans on Tukayyid and is a deviation from the long-range sniper as it is geared more towards urban or close-quarters fighting. A large laser replaces on of the ER PPCs while three medium pulse lasers replaces the other. The targeting computer remains to accurize these weapons. For added
anti-infantry weaponry two machineguns have also been added. These do come in handy when dealing Combine rebels and insurgents.
Finally, a six the jump jet has also been mounted for increased ability in enclosed quarters and urban areas. The ECM isused only in defensive operations  or during ambushes.

G - Looking for an anti-insurgent load, the Jaguars replaced the Pouncer C's autocannon with an LB-X model effective against light vehicles and replaced the laser array with anti-infantry weapons. The Gamma lacks a single heavy punch but it has been very effective in policing the Occupation Zone and in picking up Clan Elementals trying to launch ambushes.

H - While the Pouncer's primary configuration has superb firepower for its size, the Smoke Jaguars argued that it had poor heat management over an extended battle. Clan Wolf found this an amusing assertion from a Clan fond of sudden overwhelming attacks, but found the new H configuration less pleasant as the heterogenous large lasers remain highly effective against light and medium 'Mechs such as their own Pouncers or the Fenris, with the LRM launcher making up for the slightly lighter alpha damage.

I - Samira of the Arbuthnots has developed this variation of the Prime and B configurations, but has been optimized for closer combat.  It has a large pulse mated to a brace each of ER medium and small lasers. The targeting computer helps Samira increase her accuracy when engaged in defense of Goliath Scorpion asstes. For additional firepower, Streak SRM-6 gives added punch at close ranges.

Fire Falcon

Overview:
Built by Clan Jade Falcon for the invasion, the Fire Falcon wasn't completed in time for the initial waves and it was first encountered during the one year lull in attacks, as AFFS units attempted to replicate the success of Victor Steiner-Davion's Twycross raid.

Codenamed the Skadi by the AFFS for the Norse goddess of the hunt, the OmniMechs were used by freeborn and unblooded Clan Warriors with great effect against Inner Sphere Mechwarriors who had anticipated that the Falcons would rely mostly upon the slower Kit Fox in their lighter units.

The Jade Falcons have continued to work to refine the design based upon these encounters and the Battle of Tukkayid. As a result, the Fire Falcons has drawn the attention of other Clans, in particular the Ghost Bears and Nova Cats, both of whom sought new OmniMechs to replenish their touman after battlefield losses.

D - The Nova Cats, in contrast to the Falcons, developed the Delta into a ruthlessly pragmatic design based upon the Star League's Kintaro. Having traded several Fire Falcons with the Hell's Horses, the Nova Cats can now pair the Delta with Huitzilopochtli tanks, using the light 'Mechs to mark out enemy units with beacons and then harry them while the tank supports them with TAG-homing Arrow IV missiles. This horrendous breech of zellbrigen led to several threats from the more traditional clans of dire retribution should these tactics ever be employed against them. This hasn't stopped Clan Coyote trying to obtain Fire Falcons to pair with their Naga omnimech in a similar fashion.

E - Clan Ghost Bear have been able to negotiate limited access to the Fire Falcon, something that leaves Clan Wolf potentially facing the design on both sides of their invasion corridor. The Ghost Bear's preference is to mount jump-jets and a PPC, letting the Fire Falcon negotiate difficult terrain and strike with a concentrated punch that few 'Mechs in its weight bracket can survive. The flamers mounted in each arm have sparked mixed feelings in the Bears' occupation zones: while they're a fearsome threat to insurgents, the Clan sagaciously accepted a petition to fill the Kungsarme's role in responding to forest fires on Kempfen. Holovids showing the 'Mechs setting counter-fires to contain the seasonal blazes have been of significant propaganda value for the Ghost Bears in showing them as more than merely conquerors.

F - The new F configuration of the Fire Falcon mimicks the immensely successful Timber Wolf.In the initial stages of battle, the 'Mech can soften up a target with LRMs mounted above and behind the cockpit. Closing in, the four arm-mounted lasers provide for a decisive strike and in extreme need the Fire Falcon F can close to point-blank range and add two torso mounted lasers in a concentrated alpha strike.
