Unknown invaders have taken [[Richmond]], [[Tarnby]] and [[Idlewind]] with seemingly little effort and in a very short time, and only rumors and snippets of radio intercepts and [[BattleROM]]s have been smuggled out with escaping [[JumpShip]]s. In a field camp in the rye fields of Komache Fields outside the city of Schwartzstadt on [[Schwartz]], ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Mark Graham]] of the [[Ninth Pesht Regulars]] awaits the unknown attackers who are now inbound to Schwartz.
 
Unknown invaders have taken [[Richmond]], [[Tarnby]] and [[Idlewind]] with seemingly little effort and in a very short time, and only rumors and snippets of radio intercepts and [[BattleROM]]s have been smuggled out with escaping [[JumpShip]]s. In a field camp in the rye fields of Komache Fields outside the city of Schwartzstadt on [[Schwartz]], ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Mark Graham]] of the [[Ninth Pesht Regulars]] awaits the unknown attackers who are now inbound to Schwartz.
  
All of Graham's planning for the upcoming battle is rendered moot when the attacking [[DropShip]]s unexpectedly head straight for Schwartzstadt, reducing the defenders' response time to minutes instead of the expected six to twelve hours. In the ensuing battle against the attacking [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]], [[Star Colonel]] [[Thilla Showers]] challenges Graham, observing that the defenders have so far adhered to ''[[zellbrigen]]'' so that she is going to return the courtesy. Graham had in fact instructed his [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] to stick to the one-on-one duels based on what he had learned about the attackers beforehand, in order to stall for time. From Thilla Showers's viewpoint, Graham behaves honorably so she eventually challenges him to single combat for ownership of the planet and all remaining military forces. Graham gladly obliges, fighting to delay until most of the Ninth Pesht Regulars have boarded their DropShips. As the DropShips lift off, he explains to a furious Thilla Showers that when she beats him in their duel, ''then'' he will surrender all military forces that still remain on the planet. He thinks to himself that the Clans, for all their superiority, will have to learn to play a new game if they wished to fight in the [[Inner Sphere]].
