'Twas the night before Mechmas, when all through-out space

No battlemechs were stirring, not at any base;

The Ravens were prepped by the all of the mechbays with care,

In hopes that more clan mechs would not soon appear;

Steam warriors were nestled all snug in their beds;

No hint of the terrors they'd soon face with dread;

And clanners in their omnis and soon battlemechs,

Were warming up reactors full of new tech,

When out on edge planets rang out an alarm,

Sentries'd sent the alert before worlds came to harm.

Away sent the dispach to mechs on alert,

New designs, they said, designed to bring hurt.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,

Gave a luster of midday to armor below,

When what to my horrified eyes did appear,

But Hunchbacks and Jenners, Orions, I fear,

With an assault not so lively, though moved with such candor,

I knew in a moment it was a Highlander,

And the beckoned by tight-beam at our unit, by name:

"We have come for your planets, our fangs are not tame,

Your planets will surrender, our might is to blame,

Submit your full numbers, this is not a game,

Dare refuse our batch-all, and receive more than shame"

As mercs in raselhague are oft' known to fly,

When they meet with a clanner, take off to the sky;

Down from the jump points, battalions descended

toward panicked militias, defenses upended--

And then in a sickening, warnings had screeched

Klaxxons and buzzers, defenses were breeched.

As I joined surveillence, away we did run

from lumbering hulks, the onslaught had begun.

These giants looked wrong, we learned in this night

Hunchbacks can't jump, nor pack that much might!

Jenners with missile tubes packed beyond count

I trembled and shuddered, took down this account.

This day upon which whole worlds were soon lost

Must be transmitted, no matter the cost

For weakness in new designs soon must be found

Or all of the houses shall fall to the ground.

So with this last message comstar will now send

Salvation for the 'sphere, or kingdoms will end.

Transmission Intercepted -- Do Not Deliver by order of the Primus
