Battletech #2

When Max and his men are caught red-handed in their attempt to steal back their 'Mechs and escape, Max (piloting the Scorpion) distracts the guards long enough for his men to embark the other two 'Mechs. Antonio subdues Quinton and carries him along in the Thunderbolt. Infantry, tanks and Shilone aerospace fighters attack the fugitives and the Scorpion is downed. Antonio returns to save Max and the four of them escape with all three 'Mechs. Max dies from his injuries shortly afterwards. Quinton chastises Antonio and Han for not having thought things through, but accepts that he, too, is now a mercenary.
