Amidst the invasion, a [[4th Regulan Hussars]] 'Mech, piloted by [[Walther O'Reilly-Maddox]], attacks a particular private residence, killing his target [[Elsa Granelli]]. He detects high-end communications equipment in her house that appears to confirm his orders: Granelli was an informant for the Blakists. Smith broadcasts footage of the attack, identifying Granelli instead as a civilian schoolteacher murdered by the Hussars, and Guardado counters with her own assertion that Granelli was a spy.

The arrival of the [[52nd Shadow Division]] and retaking of Gibson changes the picture. Smith claims that [[Apollyon]]'s force returned in response to the death of Granelli, and Guardado prepares a rebuttal. She records a statement, based on anonymous sources, that the 52nd arrived out of pure luck, happening to choose the planet for their intended refit, but [[Patricia Bracken]] stops Guardado from sending the statement. Bracken makes a new claim about Elsa Granelli's allegiance: Granelli was a Regulan spy, not a Blakist spy, and was mistaken for the latter.  Guardado and Bracken argue about their goals, how Granelli should be remembered, and the newscaster's obligation to truth.
