Line 31: A first-person narrative by [[Vic Travers]], better known as the Bounty Hunter, the story relates how he and his team—including [[Bounty Hunter#Walt Urizeman|"Walt"]], whom he grooms as his successor—carry out an operation on [[Solaris VII]].

The same man is now wanted by two people: by the general, and by an equally unnamed noble whose young daughter is with child from Szabian. The Bounty Hunter acquired both contracts, making this effectively a double-pay mission.

Counting on Szabian's vanity, he fully expected Szabian to close to melee range in an attempt to finish the shut-down 'Mech off with his ''Berserker'''s [[hatchet]] instead of playing it safe.
