Lieutenant Fletcher and his lance of light 'Mechs took cover in the capital city, and waited to ambush any [[Marik]] BattleMech that came by. They sighted an ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]'' walking along Droman Avenue and had no option but to engage it. By using their [[jump jet]]s and exploiting the ponderous lack of agility suffered by the assault 'Mech, Fletcher and his lance were able to keep the Marik machine off-balance, all the while landing hits on the bigger BattleMech's rear armor. Fletcher himself scored the killing blow on the ''Atlas'', but the dying 'Mech then collapsed onto the disabled ''[[UrbanMech]]'' piloted by Fletcher's comrade, MechWarrior [[Brad Finnegan]]. Finnegan was crushed to death underneath the ''Atlas''.

David Fletcher's last known location was on [[Galatea]], just prior to the [[Fourth Succession War]]. He was thought to have accepted a place with another mercenary command, which may have been the [[Gray Death Legion]]. He had been seen a number of times in the company of a woman who matched the description of [[Lori Kalmar]], an officer in the Gray Death.<ref>''BattleTechnology'', issue #0204, p. 60.</ref>
