Myers returned to Suvorov with a plan to capture the continent of [[Abysmal]] and its Smoke Jaguar artifacts and facilities.<ref>''Forever Faithful'', pp. 81-86</ref>  These were, in Myers' words, “the antiques of the future,” and may even include treasures of the old Star League taken as ''[[isorla]]'' from the Inner Sphere. Myers also suggested that the Goliath Scorpions might capture relics held by the [[Eridani Light Horse]], a storied SLDF unit that would undoubtedly be sent to defend the continent, and even take some of its MechWarriors as bondsmen, who “would be living history among our people.”

While tempting Suvorov by appealing to her mutually strong sense of history, Myers' real aim though was to harvest the remainder of the Smoke Jaguar warrior caste and their precious Bloodlines.<ref>''Forever Faithful'', p. 165</ref>  Suvorov saw through Myers' manipulation though but authorized the strike anyway, on the condition that Myers' Alpha Galaxy would have to bid against the Goliath Scorpion's other galaxies for the right to make the attack.  Suvorov further ordered that the strike would not take place until after the bulk of the SLDF departed Clan space and returned to the Inner Sphere. Later, she scaled back the scope of Myers' plan, from taking the entire continent to establishing a 200 km circular enclave centered on the [[Abysmal Manufacturing Complex]] at [[Rakt-Jabada]] on Abysmal, which produced [[Warhawk]] OmniMechs, and its attached spaceport.<ref>''Forever Faithful'', pp. 136-138</ref>  “We run the risk of winning the day, but having insufficient force to defend against other Clans that would come,” she told a frustrated Myers.  Moreover, she feared that he would be unable to administer such a large territory.

Later, she scaled back the scope of Myers' plan, from taking the entire continent to establishing a two hundred kilometer circular enclave centered on the [[Abysmal Manufacturing Complex]] at [[Rakt-Jabada]] on Abysmal, which produced [[Warhawk]] OmniMechs, and its attached spaceport.<ref>''Forever Faithful'', pp. 136-138</ref>  “We run the risk of winning the day, but having insufficient force to defend against other Clans that would come,” she told a frustrated Myers.  Moreover, she feared that he would be unable to administer such a large territory.
  
 
In August 3060 Myers won the ensuing [[Trial of Possession]] for the Abysmal enclave but most of the former Smoke Jaguar warriors and personnel he was targeting had been evacuated before the battle or had escaped, rendering his victory somewhat hollow.<ref>''Forever Faithful'', pp. 165-167</ref>  After some 3,000 former Smoke Jaguars, led by [[Paul Moon]], dramatically fled Huntress using commandeered former Jaguar dropships on August 24, 3060, Myers pursued them down the Exodus Road with the detached Thirty-fifth Scorpion Cuirassiers to Wayside V, where they planned to establish a new colony and become something "other" than Clan.  Myers neither sought nor received Suvorov's authorization for the pursuit, and he only took enough provisions for the one-way, year-long trip to Wayside V, intending to resupply there after harvesting the colonists.
