Big Gay Nerds

The Forget-Me-Nots have a new job on their hands, and while it's not as immediately dire as a hostage situation, the chain of command has put them out of their element: escorting a team of scientists and their confidential experiment away from a potential ambush. This is complicated by the fact that 1. the scientists don't like the FMNs because they want their experimental dog-mech, 2. the ambushers are teenage mercenaries from Stiletto's alma mater, and 3. this is all happening adjacent to some very fragile marine animals. Will a little advance planning be enough for whatever their enemies (and allies) have in mind?
